Thank you for thinking about this Wayne. We had the ONT updated
perhaps 5 years ago with a >1GB plan. The cable coming up from the
FIOS box in the basement is now ethernet cable and not coax. The coax
is only used to go to the FIOS TV box from the router. (wired backhaul
because that cable was already in situ) The coax is split to the FIOS
TV and then the extender. So the wired backhaul for the extender is
coax and not ethernet. The new router and extender are a few months
old. The Ethernet switch is plugged into one of the lan ports on the
extender. The new extender (Unlike the old) throttles all traffic and
the wifi at 10 mbs. If I unplug the Ethernet switch all is as it should
be. The Vera controller is one device plugged into the switch. If I
plug just that one device into a lan port on the extender it is back
down to 10/10 upload and download wired and WIFI. I tried changing the
coax (3ft cable) from the splitter to the extender but that made no
difference. I have not yet tried just unplugging the vera controller
from the switch box and see if the speeds stay up. I hated that
switchbox but that was all the electrician had when I had him help me
fish wires to redo my subwoofers and AV gear. 100 mbs is good enough
for AV stuff for now. I thought the MOCA adapter hooked up on a 3 way
splitter (Fios TV box, Extender, Moca adapter) and put the culprit
device on that MIGHT fix the whole issue. Why the new Extender doesn't
behave, I have no clue.

Let me see if I understand. You have ethernet from the FIOS box. The
coax is just for the TV. Yet you are connecting a Moca ethernet adapter
(you are calling an extender?) to that for the purpose of ??. Because
you don't want to run strictly on the ethernet?
So I assume you need more ethernet devices (wifi?) and using the Moca
adapter for that. Again, is the ethernet switch a 1G switch or a 10/100
switch? Switches are cheap, if the switch causes the fallback to 10mbs,
then try a different switch. If it is a 10/100 switch then the Moca
adapter is falling back from 1G down to 10mbs and not stopping at 100.
The Vera controller (Z-wave), does it have 1G ethernet port or 10/100?
I'm guessing 10/100. And the Vera is connected to the switch connected
to the Moca adapter. If so, then the issue may be that Vera controller
and the switch is dropping down to 10mbs rather than 100. The switch
cannot buffer a 1G or 100mbs connection down to 10mbs, so it drops all
connection speeds to the lowest common denominator. So the switch then
has to push back the lower 10mbs speed back to the Moca adapter.
This is my best guess. Something on the Moca 1G port is not able to
properly negotiate a 10/100 port to 100 and is dropping to it to 10.
Either the switch or the Moca adapter is not going to 100. You could try
plugging the Vera controller directly to the Moca and off the switch.
But that may cause the Moca again to drop all the way to 10 as switches
cannot buffer high speed to low speed.
