    Another Cheap Moca 2.0 non-bonded adapter

    The reason that the MEB1100 can't link with the NVG468MQ is because the two devices operate at different MoCA frequencies, by design: MEB1100: MoCA 1.1 channel C4 (975-1025 MHz)... the operating frequency required to link with the ONT built-in MoCA WAN bridge NVG468MQ: standard MoCA 2.0...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    Nice! Thanks for the followup/closure. Curious... What speed test are you using to assess the throughput? (I'm getting unsatisfactory results after upgrading to a Comcast 1000/20 plan, as a test.)

    Troubleshooting and Diagnosing MoCA Network (ScreenBeam Devices)

    Tough to imagine fitting two splitters in if the hybrid doesn't work. (Maybe Dremel-off the mounting ears and ground screw fixture? ;)) Body is 3.5” x 1.5” …

    Troubleshooting and Diagnosing MoCA Network (ScreenBeam Devices)

    Take a look at Amphenol’s hybrid MoCA splitter, Amazon product link What’s changing relative to your diagram. Which shows only 5 coax lines?

    Troubleshooting and Diagnosing MoCA Network (ScreenBeam Devices)

    Just as good, at least for the modem line. It’ll add some unnecessary loss for the runs off the secondary splitter if you only need the 5 coax lines. Whatever port goes unused should be capped with a 75-ohm terminator.

    Troubleshooting and Diagnosing MoCA Network (ScreenBeam Devices)

    Most definitely should be a “designed for MoCA 2.x” splitter, with the 1 GHz splitter potentially contributing to lower PHY rates. But you might consider an alternative, using 2 splitters in place of the pictured 5(?)-way splitter: an initial 2-way splitter (w/ “PoE” MoCA filter on its input...

    Add Verizon MoCA ASK-MAE340 to a network of ScreenBeam ECB7250s

    This isn’t part of the MoCA standard, so varies by vendor, it seems, based on how they’ve integrated their network ports. goCoax and Motorola MM1K adapters have been confirmed to pass VLAN tags unharmed, while Translite adapters with multiple network ports have reportedly stripped VLAN tags...

    Add Verizon MoCA ASK-MAE340 to a network of ScreenBeam ECB7250s

    It shouldn’t make a difference, assuming the plan is to use the full “MoCA Extended Band D” frequency range to maintain a default 5-channel MoCA 2.5 network. (It would likely complicate any attempt to customize the adapters to use a more limited range, either D-Low or D-High, but that’s...

    Add Verizon MoCA ASK-MAE340 to a network of ScreenBeam ECB7250s

    Is the new Verizon unit linking with the ECB7250’s? Are you seeing the same throughput through it as over other MoCA links? What does the MoCA diagnostics page show for PHY rates? And do you have a (70 dB) “PoE” MoCA filter installed, or coax physically disconnected, to preclude MoCA...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    Solid chance it will do more, once you have 2.5 GbE gear.

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    Nice. Pleasant when things work as designed. Good result, given the concern over how the addition of the splitters for the MoCA setup might affect the modem’s signal levels and connectivity. Plus the future-proofing for DOCSIS 3.1+ signals above 1002 MHz. Repeating the recommendation that all...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    Sounds like a plan. (This is where another difference might spring-up in our approaches. Once the critical lines are overhauled and functioning, I’d probably rework them all while the process is fresh in my head [again, all terminated to a patch panel at the central junction], perhaps using an...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    Do your 2 other current MoCA adapter locations also have the white Cat5e cabling, like the Office? All good, then, if so, right? And, no, I couldn't see any MHz info from the jacket printing, either, and didn't have confidence that I could make out the characters or that any search would...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    I don't know if you're "right" or not, but it's certainly a reasonable hypothesis. The exception would be any cable running to the telephone module from the service provider box, and any cable interconnecting the two telephone modules.

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    Also beneficial is if you can identify any “MHz” rating within that cable jacket text. Agreed! That’s the most critical line of the bunch. A keystone blank patch panel would be useful in the closet, to hold the keystones in place (protecting the terminations and wiring). Or... given the...

    Recently recieved a modem replacement after old one died. Now my moca wont let it connect!

    Is the modem resetting (unstable) or is the drop-out a wireless issue?

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    FYI... An alternate approach to Option 3 for when you have that first CATx line between the Closet and Office working ... with probably the least change relative to current, and straying less from the longer-term path leading to all CATx LAN connectivity. … and once a second CATx line to...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    The above link offers some alternatives: At the central panel, pull them from the current phone block and re-terminate to a RJ45 patch panel or data module like one of the following (or alternatives): 12-port Patch Panel 12-port ICC keystone blank patch panel 12-port Leviton keystone blank patch...

    Questions on my GoCoax 2.5 Adapter Install

    To identify and test each terminated line, acquire a tone tracer tool (example; see: How to Use a Tone Tester) The linked model also includes a wire continuity testing function, as well, to confirm that all 8-wires are connected and mapped straight-through. (cheaper continuity-only tester)...
