Hello! I recently recieved a TP Link AX1800 Mesh Network kit as a gift and was wondering if I could somehow make this work in a rented house with the only internet in being over coax.

Here is what my network looks like, and what I want it to be. We have been experiencing bad signal on the farther reaches of the house as the router is not central to the home. This is the only access point the landlord wants for some reason, and the coax does not have any other points in the house.

To my understanding a MoCA adaptor like from GoCoax would work for something like this? I see people getting their ethernet to their coax through their house but not the other way around in such a short way. Would this even be feasible? Thank you for reading.

the coax does not have any other points in the house.

A MoCA connection would require a minimum of 2 coax outlets, one at/near the router and one elsewhere. Else, there isn’t any coax over which MoCA could be used to create a network connection.
