Default Using moca adapters

Hi there, I was thinking of a way to get another access point with a wired connection on the top floor of my house. The best way I could think of doing it since I don't have ethernet ports in my house was to use the coax port in the upstairs master.

The current setup Telus setup is as follows:
In Garage:
ONT---Ethernet wire---Moca adapter #1---Coax cable into outdoor grey Telus box
In Living Room on main floor:
Coax port in wall---Coax cable---Moca adapter #2---Ethernet Wire--- WAN port on T3200M

I purchased another Actiontec moca adapter and plugged it into the coax port in the upstairs master, but the coax port did not light up. To make sure the new moca adapter I purchased wasn't faulty, I replaced the existing adapter going to the T3200M with the new one and the coax light lit up and I was able to confirm that I had internet on my devices.

I don't know what the problem is here, is it possible that the coax cables leading upstairs have been disconnected at the splitter in the grey Telus box outside my garage?

Also another weird thing, I thought I should be able to use the coax port on the T3200M since it has built in moca capabilities and thus bypass Moca adapter #2. However, when I get rid of Moca adapter #2 and plug the coax cable straight into the T3200M, I do not get internet. An even weirder thing, when I plug in the coax cable straight into the T3200M and I try logging into the router page at 192.168.1.254, it takes me to the login page for the ONT. And while the coax was plugged directly into the T3200M, sometimes I would get internet on my 5 Ghz network but nothing on my 2.4 Ghz, but this internet was only working on one device and not any others. When I checked the IP addresses my device was getting it was something starting with 68.xxx instead of the typical 192.xxx

If anyone could help with this situation that would be great, could I get a Telus tech to come down here open the grey Telus box outside and see what's going on with my cables?
