Actiontec MoCA adapter with wireless N router for FiOS user

Hi FiOS tech people,<br>I have one Actiontec MI24WR modem/router (rev I) Verizon installed for my plan (FiOS TV &amp; Internet 75/35). It is placed in the family room downstairs and connected to my laptop using Ethernet cable. At the same time, I need both wired and wireless internet connection for different PCs/wireless devices located upstairs. I wonder whether I could get the same FiOS speed I signed up, as well as wireless N, if I connect Actiontec Ethernet over coax MoCA adapter to my wireless N router (Medialink Wireless N broadband router 802.11n, 150 Mbps, 2.4 GHz with internal antenna). In this connection, my wireless N router will interfere with MI24WR router?<br><br>What are the best possible options for me?<br>

Yes, you can do this and will get the same performance as if you are attached to the the ActionTec router.   To use the wireless N router, you need to actually use it in "access point" mode.   You do so by connecting it to the MoCA adapter via a LAN (not WAN) port and by assigning the LAN interface of the access point a static IP address (on the same network as your ActionTec router) and disabling the DHCP service on the access point.  You should also use the same SSID (on a different channel) with the same security method and password as your ActionTec wireless.
