    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Our summers get really hot over here (into the 40sC or 110F). Unfortunately no air conditioning in the roof so the point to point option may not be viable for me. Given my main aim is to get wired Ethernet backhaul, having the two MoCA modems / adapters may achieve this for me. Hopefully cables...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Thanks again degrub! Having lightbulb moments :). I guessed that was what you meant but wasn’t sure. If the central point for me is the roof, I assume I will require power outlets in the roof for each MoCA modem. Will the Amp be after the PoE filter but before the splitter? Given the age of...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Thank you very much for this! I don't suppose you have any diagrams handy you could share? :). I would be interested to see how the set up for the point to point arrangement looks like. I am guessing I will need a power outlet in the roof for the MoCA adapter / modem. However if I were to opt...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Thank you for confirming, I was considering gocoax because of this feature :). That is correct, only one 7-way splitter with no further splits in the wall. The cable from the "pit" has no connection to the 7-way splitter. Will have challenge doing this due to the roof access....was hoping to...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    I did this quick layout diagram before your message so apologies if you have already responded above. Hope the diagram attached helps explain what I am trying to do. My main aim is to create a wired ethernet backhaul using the MoCA network. This should hopefully improve the speeds of my AiMesh...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Thanks degrub, really appreciate the detailed explanation. I will try and upload a sketch tomorrow when I get a chance (it is almost 1130pm here). I did have another question.....if I am only connecting routers to the MoCA adapter / modem to create a wired ethernet backhaul but connecting my...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Thanks for sharing your experience with this. I have read conflicting posts that a filter is needed on the lead in cable from the OTA antenna before the splitter to prevent MoCA from broadcasting? I have no idea if it does or not. I believe I will however need a PoE filter before my NBN NTD...

    By the way, if you get the chance, could you resend the link above as I would love to read it. I tried to open it but received a "Sorry couldn't find the page error". Cheers

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Actually can I get away with only having the MoCA filters on the outlets where I have a MoCA adapter or does it really need to go to each TV wall outlet? (assuming I can't place the filter at the source on the lead in cable from the antenna)?

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    The issue I have is that the source splitter which feeds from the lead in cable from the OTA is in the roof where I can't access, only reason I was wondering if possible to place a filter at each outlet (not as cost effective) but wasn't sure if it would achieve the same outcome. From your...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Unfortunately it doesn't. The NBN comes from an underground coax lead in, separate to the OTA. This is the reason why I believe a PoE filter is also needed at the antenna cable lead in as I am wanting to use my existing TV points in the wall for the MoCA network. However since I can't access the...

    MoCA PoE filter question with external OTA antenna (no cable TV)

    Hi there.....I hope someone can help as I have spent hours (days) trying to find an answer to this but to no avail. I currently have a HFC NBN connection which is where the existing ‘pay TV’ or cable network can be used to make the final part of the NBN network connection. In this circumstance...

    Asus AiMesh wireless speed query

    It sounds like this is probably the router I would need to consider given we do connect multiple devices concurrently. The price differential between this and the RT-AX86S is anywhere from A$50-A$150. If you had the money would you still pick AX86U over the AX11000? I think if I was patient...

    Asus AiMesh wireless speed query

    Thanks! It looks like AX86U is the one I should aim for given I do utilize VPN - I set this up directly through the router using the customizable settings in Merlin firmware as not every device will need this. The latest version of firmware makes everything so much easier! I am not sure how...

    And yes it was AX92U

    Asus AiMesh wireless speed query

    Yes it’s being sold as 2-pack over here. I believe it is a clearance item. I haven’t really considered it seriously as these are not supported by Merlin firmware. I’ll definitely look at the AX86S and AX86U. I believe the latter is more powerful but I’m not sure if there is any other added...

    Asus AiMesh wireless speed query

    Thanks for clarifying! Both you and Tech9 have been extremely helpful and I really appreciate it . I would be extremely happy if I was able to achieve 600 Mbps from the node noting other environmental factors.

    Asus AiMesh wireless speed query

    From what I read so far, I thought I had to have a dedicated wireless backhaul to achieve the speeds I saw from my primary router. Thanks for clarifying this for me as these routers are definitely a significant saving compared to the AX-11000! The AX-92X are on sale right now but aren’t...

    Asus AiMesh wireless speed query

    I don’t have many options with the type of service I have access to. HFC is the only service at my premises and aside from 100/40 option, if I need a faster upload the next one is 1000/50. I can achieve 950+ Mbps directly through the router, with Wi-Fi speeds achieving the optimum speeds being...
