Re: Thinking of getting my own cable tuner & router - questions 1) If your Actiontec WAN is currently provisioned over coax, you will need to get that changed to cat5 from the ONT.
Yes, simply connect your tuner to the coax.
2) That's up your router whether it forwards Wake on Wan packets. If you use your own router, you have no need for the Actiontec.

I really don't need the Actiontec at all in my network then?
Also what about moca adapters? If I switch to ethernet, will I still be able to use a moca adapter? I have one that I use in one of my bedrooms but I can switch to wireless if necessary |

•Another MOCA adapter to get from your router onto the MOCA LAN, or,
•Keep the Actiontec as a MOCA bridge behind your router.
The switch from MOCA WAN to cat5 affects only the WAN connection from the ONT to your router. Your MOCA LAN connection is separate.
