MoCA does use your cable coax vs lan ethernet cables to go room to room,
so you would need to have coax cable connectivity in each room you want to connect, typically.

Plenty of YouTube videos on this method of getting internet from a far flung router to a distant room or rooms.

Here's one link explaining it:

MOCA is a great technology: relatively inexpensive and high speed!

Just have to be careful on the specs of the MOCA device being purchased. All of the ones I've found cannot be used with Satellite TV (Dish, DirecTV) and some cannot be used if other signals are on the wire (Comcast, etc.)

However, you can isolate the cable in the box in the garage and it will work perfectly.

Powerline Ethernet Adapters are also quite good. I'm using them and getting 200 MB/s.
