Both setups will work. You will want to place a switch when you want more lan points or wifi points such as AP or wifi mesh after the moca adapter. It will reduce network latency compared to setting up only repeater or mesh wifi. Important factor for online gamers. If there is only a single lan device to connect, you could just directly link to moca adapter.
This is a very useful info. I'm facing the the cabletv is going to be replaced by FibreTV problem. My place is wired for Cat6 at least but i didn't expect that for the same cable to carry FibreTV and internet needs a somewhat complicated vlan setup (i've explored the forums but really couldn't find something that has both internet and fibretv on same cable with multiple fibretv set top boxes).
Thus after locating the starhub cable entry point in my riser, i realise that converting all my cabletv coax points into a secondary network for FibreTv is possible! cheers.
Need your expert advice on how i can get multiple fibretv set top boxes to work on same moca network?
eg. Can this work? Looks weird to me
Coax with POE Filter---Splitter-----Coax1---- FibreTV SetTop Box
************************-----Coax2---- FibreTV SetTop Box
************************-----Coax3----FibreTV ONT-----FibrePt
Or must I put a switch after all the Coax1/2/3.
