Moca adapter off of switch instead of router?

Hi All, I'm setting up a moca network in my house and have a quick question. We've got cable Internet coming into the corner of our house in the basement. Can I run an Ethernet cable out of our modem, into a switch (instead of a router), then a moca adapter into our coax hub and additional moca adapters with routers wherever we need them? Obviously one router will need to be in router mode with the others in access point mode. The main thing I'm wondering is if the initial moca adapter can be coming out of a switch rather than a router. I only ask because we have like a $300 router where the cable Internet is coming in but it's in a far corner of the house so I'd rather utilize the router elsewhere. Hopefully that make sense haha. We just upgraded to gigabit so I'm trying to make sure none of the links in our network chain are limiting speeds. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
