    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    If you already have a primary router with a built-in wireless access point, yes, it would seem to make more sense to install a standalone MoCA 2.5 adapter at your primary router as, effectively, the MoCA access point to which the CR1000B-as-AP could link via MoCA. Exactly what adapter to buy...

    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    What?!?! Can you be more specific? Pretty much all retail MoCA 2.5 adapters interoperate, including the MoCA 2.5 adapters offered direct from Frontier (and available via eBay at $30 per); and so all are compatible with the built-in MoCA 2.5 LAN bridges available in the Verizon CR1000A/B units...

    Do I need a PoE Filter?

    Good info; thanks for looping back with an example. Depending on specs, you would seem to have shaved around 5+ dB from the antenna signal/tuners path.

    Do I need a PoE Filter?

    In this situation (OTA+MoCA), you can also use antenna/satellite diplexers (example; specs) or MoCA adapters with RF pass-thru ports, to strategically direct signals, accruing slightly less signal loss than would be incurred using simple coax splitters. (related) example diagram:

    Do I need a PoE Filter?

    You’d need a “PoE” MoCA filter anywhere that MoCA signals have a path to escape the home. Typically, this would be at a cable TV/Internet signal point-of-entry, but an OTA antenna does offer an alternate means of egress. So where are the MoCA signals actually flowing and where might they escape...

    Single unused cable as MOCA point-point entry from fiber

    Yes, that would work, and it’s what Frontier deploys when they can’t get a Cat6 line between the ONT and router. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be an isolated coax line if all your coax is otherwise unused, and there might be a need for MoCA to support LAN connectivity. (example)

    Single unused cable as MOCA point-point entry from fiber

    “Better” than 1 Gbps? That could just as easily be related to the spec of the Ethernet ports on all the devices in the path of the test. MoCA 2.5 offers up to 2500 Mbps shared throughput, but MoCA 2.5 adapters come with 1.0 or 2.5 GbE networks ports; so max unidirectional throughput would...

    Intermittent packet loss on MoCA 2.5 network

    Only thing obviously shifted from recommended topology is the orientation of the initial 3-way splitter. Recommendation would be: * input port connected to ONT coax, with… * “PoE” MoCA filter directly on input port; * TiVo DVR line connected to low-loss splitter output (via MoCA adapter...

    New Fiber Install MoCA Routing Question

    The main issue with the proposal is that you’re currently using MoCA for LAN connectivity, and the proposed scheme looks to link the ONT (WAN!) connection using only a single additional MoCA adapter — so seemingly through your MoCA LAN network, which bridges to a LAN port on your router. Right...

    Frontier internet and Moca

    Had to look that one up. So a USB form factor adapter, basically? And the 340-360 Mbps is about all the Firestick can do, right? Sounds great. Thanks for the feedback; hope you have some time to enjoy it…

    Commscope amp entry splitter MoCA network- will this be my controller node or do i need a node off my router ?

    I learned the hard way. I bought an Arris SB8200 without putting much any thought into it, and later realized that it only has Gigabit ports, so no possibility of a single connection exceeding 1000 Mbps, even if paired with a router supporting WAN link aggregation. (more a...

    Commscope amp entry splitter MoCA network- will this be my controller node or do i need a node off my router ?

    MoCA 2.0 and 2.5 have the same spec’d frequency range, and the same requirements, so manufacturers just didn’t bother updating the labeling/documentation. No specific router recommendation, but you’d want to decide if you’d want Internet service above 1 Gbps during the expected lifespan of the...

    Commscope amp entry splitter MoCA network- will this be my controller node or do i need a node off my router ?

    If that’s a second line between the junction and modem+router location, your plan to use an initial 2-way split for the modem is the way to go … but, as mentioned, check the new amp’s specs and add a MoCA filter on the new amp’s input port to get MoCA attenuation above 70 dB. edit: p.s. You’ll...

    Commscope amp entry splitter MoCA network- will this be my controller node or do i need a node off my router ?

    A “designed for MoCA” amplifier can be a one-to-one replacement for a non-MoCA amp. Most such amps are designed to facilitate MoCA communication between all output ports, including between the amplified outputs and passive “VoIP” output port, and have a built-in MoCA filter to block MoCA...

    Spectrum EU2251 Modem and voice effected by MoCA?

    It would have been Gbps (a rate), not GHz (a frequency); but what krkaufman actually said was: edit: 2.5 GbE == 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet If you’re using Gigabit gear, the throughput will be nearer 1 Gbps (900+ Mbps) — but with MoCA 2.5’s 2500 Mbps throughput over the coax, the effective...

    Spectrum EU2251 Modem and voice effected by MoCA?

    The “but for now” question has been answered. Do you have any other questions Re: effecting a MoCA link to the AV room?

    Spectrum EU2251 Modem and voice effected by MoCA?

    Again… if this is the case, isolation of the ISP/modem feed from the MoCA-infused coax is the only option, unless you know of a “PoE” MoCA filter with pass- and stop-bands matching these alternative frequency ranges.

    Spectrum EU2251 Modem and voice effected by MoCA?

    MoCA should only ever be a fallback where Cat5+ isn’t available (but coax is). If you can drop a new Cat6 line, that’s preferable; drop two, even. As for MoCA… It doesn’t; not as detailed in that reply. For now the third fourth time … you’d just need to install an extra MoCA filter directly on...

    Spectrum EU2251 Modem and voice effected by MoCA?

    Say 2x channels, as an example… the MoCA 2.5 max throughput for the 2-channel link would be 1000 Mbps, shared: so up to 1000 Mbps absent any competing traffic. Same way a 5-channel MoCA 2.5 link (with requisite 2.5 GbE gear) can approach 2500 Mbps throughput. (500 Mbps per channel)
