Default TiVo HELP!

Sure would appreciate some input from someone with any similar experience.

We want to stop paying equipment rental fees to the cable company. We are trying to install a TiVo Roamio on the main living room TV and a TiVo Mini on a bedroom TV. The Roamio is supposed to direct programming to the Mini. We have internet through a new Motorola Surfboard modem activated with Comcast basic TV package and a cable card for the Romaio.

How do we wirelessly connect the TiVos? Are the phone jacks in each room also "ethernet" jacks? Will connecting each TiVo to those jacks closest to the TVs in each room do it or is something else needed?

Don't understand if a "MoCa" connection is an alternative or a necessity? How does it all work?

BTW, Best Buy's Geek Squad quoted $149.00 to set this up....It must be simpler than that!

THANKS!
