MoCa or Ethernet?

I have a question that I've had trouble finding the answer to.

My setup is as follows:

1) Roamio (basic) in my living room, right next to my router so I have it connected via Ethernet.
2) Mini in the bedroom, currently connected via a Wireless bridge (TP-Link).

Both devices are on the network, have an IP address and I can get to the web interface of both.

However, the Mini cannot see the Roamio unless I connect it directly to the router via Ethernet. I had to do this to get it to set up in the first place. Once I go back to the wireless bridge it cannot see the DVR again. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the MAC address of the Mini is "hidden" because it's on the bridge, even though I can ping both devices on the network.

If anyone has a solution to that, great, but I'm ready to give up on the wireless bridge.

I know Ethernet will work fine because I've tested it with a long cable, however I'm not sure I want to run a new cable so I'm willing to try MoCa.

My question is, do I really need two MoCa adapters as the Tivo site indicates or do I just need one to get network onto the cable line and leave the Roamio connected via ethernet?

If I need two, I'm confused about what the network diagram would look like, any help?
