I know there is much computer expertise on this list. I knew I should

them.
I have FIOS and updated my router and extender which is has a wired
backhaul to the router via Coax. I have a relatively recent ethernet
switch plugged into the extender with 6 devices. I had no trouble with
the wifi speeds on the old extender but that one is not compatible with
the new router /modem. Now I have wifi 6 and 6E fine on the router but
if I plug in the switchbox to the extender the speed is down to 10
Mbits per sec within a couple minutes. I think the culprit is the Vera
controller as if I directly plug it into the second LAN/ethernet port
on the extender the speed goes right down on the extender to 10mbps
again whether wifi or hard wired to my laptop. A few weeks ago I called
with the same issue and they sent me a new extender which obviously had
no effect--before I tried unplugging the ethernet switch (10/100 type).
I don't know why the new extender is fussier and I need the wifi to be
faster. Perhaps if I give the culprit device its own path back to the
router with the below gizmo all will be well??? (MoCa Ethernet
adapter)

I would need a 3 way splitter MoCa 2.5 compatible and obviously the
signal strength will be down, but I trust good enough? Tech support
had no idea but said sales might be willing to wave the charges.

Trying to understand what you are doing?
So is the ethernet switch connected to the Moca a 10/100 switch? If so,
get a 1000 switch. If the Moca is expecting 1G speed but the switch does
not support that, it likely drops to 10 rather than 100.
How old is your FIOS box? I recalled last time I had FIOS in
Massachusetts they used ethernet and moca was phased out. If you call up
Verizon and ask for a 1Gig plan they will be forced to replace your old
box and no more coax.
