Benefits of a HIC to a wired Joey 3?

[AkaDoubleG]

I have a Joey 3 in my Master bedroom connected via coax. Is there a benefit to adding a HIC to communicate with my H3 instead of just via coax?

The Joey 3 is designed to operate over that coax via MoCa. The HIC is used if you don't have a coax and a wireless Joey doesn't work well. The HIC attaches to your home modem and router for connectivity to all devices. If your coax is working well there is no reason to use a HIC.
