Each MoCA adapter will run you about $80. You'll need one at the router and one for each device, and besides not all your coax cables are terminated anyway.
The best and right way to do this: Just get a 12 port patch panel and re-terminate all the blue Ethernet cables to it. Then you just need a gigabit switch and a bunch of short patch cables (only get 1 or 2 foot ones). You'll need at least 13, one for each patch panel port and one for the router. Connect each patch panel port to a switch port.
The lower device in this picture appears to be the router. It's got the WAN port and one LAN port connected. Just connect another of its LAN ports to your gigabit switch. You won't need a separate router, but if you do want to use one just set it up to work as an AP only (connect it by a LAN port and turn off DHCP, NAT and firewall).
Well if your just looking for switching which it sounds like you are, there's a couple options.

Or even simpler

I'd recommend the former if your looking to learn as these things are pretty crazy good. Probably as reliable as ubiquiti (as in not compared to Cisco of the world) but very feature rich, with a bit of a learning curve
Here's a half-decent 8 port:

And a better 16 port:

Pretty much anything will work, just remember you'll need one port for each computer, then one to link the switch to the next higher device (another switch or the router).
Just do some searching for extension cables on amazon or someplace similar, or hit your local hardware store. Look for 14AWG or better, at whatever length you need.
