Hoping someone knows more about this than I do…
we have moved into a new(old) house up top of a hill. The Chorus Fibre box is located roadside in the garage & has all the right lights. It is running a modem in the garage w/ wifi just fine. The house is too far away for ethernet so it looks like someone has run coax all the way up to the house (in a conduit so I can’t see it), and it comes out of a wall and into a grey MoCA box. From my research I think I should be able to plug a modem via ethernet into the port on the MoCa but the DS (downstream) light is flashing. 
Does anyone have an ideas of what I could do next, or am I completely off track?!
One NZ tried to help yesterday and confirmed we have a working fibre connection etc but then ran out of ideas. They also disagreed that the MoCA box had anything to do with the network.
Please help, going slightly mad in Wellington about now. 
TIA!

Hi, I think what happens in the apartment is possibly the missing information. Does the apartment have its own connection/ISP or are you also providing that, via Eth1 if the ont for both you and the apartment.

 

 

 

Have you confirmed with OneNZ that the connection you have just ordered is on Eth1 or Eth2

 

 

 

What's in the apartment could the coax be there along with the MoCa unit.

 

 

 

As for MocA, I have deployed a few, it's very effective and provides a good quality result, so before going down the pull it out and replace with fibre, which I agree us the best solution, I would still fully explore the real state of the MocA solution.
