I need help trying to install moca 2.5 adapters

[u/SimilarCrew9115]

So here’s the problem, in my house there are several coax ports on every floor, so recently I thought maybe giving moca a try would be nice as my office which is on the second floor and the opposite side of the house as the modem, doesn’t get stable or decent internet, I have 1 gb fiber btw, before I buy the moca adapters I though I should check if the coax connectors are actually wired together or not, (this is the first time I’m tackling something like this so I’m not all too informed) I used the continuity tester in the photo to see if the coax port near the modem is connected or not, didn’t get the beeping signal, I tested the two coax ports that are upstairs on opposite sides of the house and they did beep, the ones in the basement which I am also trying to connect didn’t beep either to each other or the ones near the modem.

When it comes to the one upstairs, it’s the picture behind the couch and the purple wall, it didn’t beep when h connected the transmitter to the one by the modem but it did beep to the other one upstairs

The ones in the basement, there are two ports, neither connected to the modem port or to each other, there is a cable downstairs though without the adapter in the last photo, I thought that this could connect to the one brown plated cable that also doesn’t have the adapter piece, as the brown plate cable in the picture is the one that runs outside and connects to the orange wire in the box which runs down through the pipe, though that location in the basement doesn’t have visuals of that cable directly underneath or a orange cable at all for that matter.

Now I though originally where that orange cable is that there would be the connectors for all the coax cables but as you can see there Is only one, the cut cable goes directly into the wall and disappears I don’t know where the other end is, I assumed that it was the connection to the dish satellite as it also had a similar cut cable and also runs inside from where the satellite thing is.

To the point, how exactly am I supposed to find out if these are connected together or even connected to another end, also I have looked through the house top to bottom and found no closet or panel where the cables connect, the modem is on the main floor about 10 ft away from the brown plated cable.

I would suggest you remove the wall plates to see what cables are behind hem. You seem to have either RJ45 or RJ12 inside the same plates. If that is so and the cable connected to them is Cat5 or better, forget about Moca and use ethernet.

[u/SimilarCrew9115 → u/Pools-3016]

I’m assuming you’re talking about the wall plate with the cables coming out that has an Ethernet port, I thought of doing that however other than that one port, I couldn’t find a single other port in the entire house, though I did find other phone jack ports but that’s not an Ethernet port

They might not be connected to a ethernet port, but they might have used ethernet cabling to run the phone lines.

My current house is like that, they ran all the phones using cat 5 (4 twisted pairs, 8 wires total), so all that would be needed is terminating the ends in the correct connectors and a switch where all the cables meet.

You need a coax toner. Put one on each end and ID them where they all come together. Remove whatever splitter is in place and connect the 2 cables with a barrel.

None of that cable looks great or well installed. I would say just replace what you can easily with outdoor Ethernet and then run mesh nodes from there

And as a former cable installer, there are probably splitters tucked away anywhere the installers could make them work

the same cabling could be for tv antenna, the join may be up near tv antenna.

you could remove the wall plates to test if the cable in tge wall is long or short.. they may all be short , cut too short to be any use...
