    MoCA 2.5 Packet Loss (GameStream/Moonlight Stuttering)

    This is the splitter I use to manage power loss and packet loss. It may be overkill for you https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CQTHL33/?tag=snbforums-20

    Discussion about MoCA 2.5 adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet port

    Since discovering MoCA (using both the ActionTek and the GoCOAX adapters), this has been a huge saving for me. I don't have to spend the money to tear my townhome apart running wires. I have four adapters in my house - each to a separate room, with a switch in each room to extend the network...

    GS724T v4

    So, I am about to acquire a NetGear GS724Tv4 switch for free. Right now, I run a pure Unifi stack (UDM-Base, with 2 switches (8 port POE) and 1 AP). I see this switch is slightly older compared to today's standards - although looks plenty good still. The previous owner (small business) moved to...

    Cisco RV340 & RV345 – are the licensed “advanced security features” worth it?

    I have been thinking about this very question now for awhile as well. My apologies in advance for adding to this rabbit trail/off topic. If I have a router, and my internet speed is 200/10. My router has an internal switching bandwidth of 1 gig. If I then have multiple gig switches plugged...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Quick Question, regarding the goCoax 2.5 adapter. I see there is a LAN led light as one of the three lights. What does that led indicate? I ask because I am seeing some strange differences on that light. Example: I use a UDM (base) as my router. When I plug the Coax into port 2, the led is...

    DSM 7 RC

    I have a DS1515+, and honestly, the only thing I use it for is file storage, and Plex. I do not have it exposed to the outside world. I am really tempted to stay on DSM 6 for as long as possible. I also have a DS212J that I use for backing up the 1515+, That one is still on DSM 4 - as anything...

    AMD 5000 APU launching and could make a good case for a NAS plex server or Pfsense or Opnsense custom router

    I don't know if I would like this cpu as a router cpu. I think it uses too much power. Personally, if I was to build a PFSense/OPNSense based machine, I would look at the I5-8250U as my first choice. I agree that this chip is more suited for a Plex machine and/or a budget gaming PC. Just my...

    Do you login to your router daily?

    No, I want to not log in to my router everyday. If things are working fine, then I do not want to. I log in weekly, however, on my UDM-Base because they cannot seem to get the firmware correct for that, and typically I reboot it. The only time I want to look at the stats is when there is...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQTHL33/?tag=snbforums-20 I am no engineer, but it is rated for MoCA. Because my setup at home only uses MoCA without CATV or TIVO, it works just fine. I needed less power loss going into the room that had a splitter and the Cable Modem; this...

    Is it TP-Link or GoCoax?

    I Agree with @krkaufman. You have a SBG6700-AC CableModem Combo 3 in 1 device along side the Archer A7 Router. Both of these are capable of acting as a router/gateway. Only one of them should be. That, if not already, should be resolved. Make the Linksys wifi extender into a Wireless...

    Lets talk about Raw speed vs Security, Safety and QOS

    I have a 200/10 plan. My router is the Dream Machine (Base). I have QOS enabled. For Threat Management I have IDS turned on at level 3 (a balance between performance and security). IDS mode just alerts rather than blocks. The Dream Machine should have no problem even at max security keeping up...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    Thanks to both of you for helping. The better half of me (the woman of the house) is slowly becoming less angry with me. It appears the network is still holding strong. I have not had any crashes of the Cable Modem (or the Router as a result of the Cable Modem crashes) since completing this...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    ok, got some time today to rip it all apart, relabel all the cable lines and add in the Amphenol splitter. I also have a splitter to split the line from the wall, to the MoCA adapter and the Cable Modem. This is the new picture, which, I think seems ok. I will run it this way for a bit and...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    To update what has happend.. I ordered and received the Amphenol splitter board and the terminators. I have not had time to hook it up and see what the cable modem looks like. I am planning on getting to it this weekend. I have no idea which of those tap's I would get if I needed one of those...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    I like this splitter you linked. For the MoCA Adapters (the top 3), wouldn't I use the M1-M4 ports instead of the H3 port? Based on what I was reading, it looks like the Hx Ports could be used CATV and/or MoCA. Either way, Thank you. I will purchase this and some terminators and plan some...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    Would something like this be correct? My assumption is yes https://antronix.myshopify.com/products/amp-mvra502b-ac-moca-residential-amplifer

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    I will have to wait to find time, I dont have a line tester to determine which line goes directly to cable modem, will have to be trial and error. regarding a powered solution, do you have a link on something I would need to purchase if the above solution does not work?

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    Ok, sorry for the delay. I think I understand what you guys are saying. I had a hunch, and I think you guys are right. I have attach a very crude diagram of my MoCA network, its a very simple network. The picture is the way I want it to be (using a 2 way splitter near the cable modem). This...

    MoCA Losing some Upstream Channels when adding splitter

    Hey Guys, I have been running a MoCA network for awhile now. Recently I swapped out two of my adapters for two of the goCoax 2.5 adapters. I have a 200/10 internet plan. Right now, I have the coax going into one of the goCoax adapters, and a line coming out of the TV port into the cable...

    Replacing my Asus RT66AC, Unifi Dream Machine, Amplifi Alien?

    I own the Dream Machine (base model), and I stay on the official releases of the firmware, rather than using the beta firmwares. I am ok with Dream Machine so far, as its been (pretty) stable, with only a few reboots - however, it has not had an official update for many (many) months...
