    Help with MoCA Adapter Losing Internet Connection on Frontier FIOS

    To be clear (as Frontier made this confusing between their “FCA” adapters), if looking to use the FCA251 adapters for the MoCA LAN in the updated FCA252[25GW] setup, they should be set to “FULL.” (related) The FCA251 adapters set to “FULL” should be able to interconnect with the ECB6250 using...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    This is the model I typically recommend where stopping MoCA signals is critical; it would certainly work for your setup, but, as mentioned, you’d be fine with the 40+ dB model, as well, if already in-hand. (Honestly, most similar fiber installs don’t even bother with the filter, as diagrammed; I...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    Yeah, should be fine for your use case, just trying to reflect the MoCA LAN (1125-1675 MHz) signals. The MoCA WAN signals, @ 400-900MHz, will pass through the filter with minimal attenuation — assuming installation per the example diagram. edit: p.s. That said, commenting more for reference or...

    Unless something's changed in the last several years, this thread indicates that WAN IP Release isn't available in the eero UI. (maybe something's changed...)

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    If you can find a way to instruct the working eero router/gateway to release its WAN IP address before disconnection or powering it down for swap-out, that would probably be what’s needed to shorten the suggested 1-hour window. (Thinking the Frontier back-end has a 3600s [1 hour] DHCP lease...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    Good deal. Might still be worthwhile getting the coax lines & junction optimized, but this does seem to nail down what’s been the big hurdle. There’s surely some way to avoid that 1-hr delay (calling Frontier to coordinate the change?); might even be worth querying as it’s own thread in the...

    Entirely correct. (3rd eero getting wired, as well?)

    Exactly.

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    Only two adapters should be configured with “25GW,” the adapter at the ONT and whichever adapter is at your primary router, connected to its Ethernet WAN port. Anything else can result in system confusion of the likes you’re witnessing. The Pro 6e is connecting as a wireless node because it has...

    This will help with MoCA efficiency, requiring lower power levels to maintain the connection.

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    Yeah, swapping the adapters wasn’t really the point. It’s the router (working eero) that is important. In my cable Internet (Comcast) setup, there’s a similar issue. If changing routers, you need to power cycle the modem, sometimes even leaving it off for a few minutes to trigger the system to...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    Could you try moving the working FCA252 “25GW” adapter and eero to the preferred location for your primary router, and see if they still connect? ‘gist: trying to identify whether it’s a coax plant or authorization issue. The following bit makes me wonder: Steps to take when exchanging your...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    It’s unclear exactly what the configuration is that’s being tested. You first need to ensure that only the two “WAN” FCA252 adapters are configured for “25GW” … with the others powered-off, for now, at least until you get the primary router actually working. It would probably be best to...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    Did you power cycle each FCA252 whose configuration switch was changed? And ONLY the ONT and primary router FCA252 adapters are now set to “25GW”? Do the two MoCA WAN adapters indicate a successful MoCA link? There may be some magic that needs to happen to reset the ONT, for it to recognize...

    What moca adapters can be manually configured for frontier LAN settings (1025-1350/mhz) ?

    That’s a problem. You’ll need a pair of the FCA252 adapters flipped to “25GW”, one at the ONT and one at your primary router, to link the ONT & router Ethernet WAN ports. You may need to power cycle the ONT to get it to recognize any change in primary router. Then you’ll need 3 more MoCA...

    Help with MoCA Adapter Losing Internet Connection on Frontier FIOS

    A bit like it sounds … tells the adapter to scan the MoCA frequencies, or not (if disabled), for other MoCA nodes, to try to locate another node to which to connect. No clue how this function behaves when the adapter has been set to D-Low, but the referenced comment (the Amazon review) indicates...

    Kept the same model, though. (MOST unlikely as the cause, just one extra option should the issue persist once the frequency overlap is eliminated.)

    Roger. I'll hold with further replies pending details on the MoCA device at the ONT.

    The main issue with the example diagram posted relative to that scenario is more the "eero" than the quantity of mesh nodes, given eero boxes (most mesh devices) only have 2 Ethernet ports. (i.e. You'd likely need to use Gigabit switches to boost Ethernet port capacity.) You also didn't specify...

    Help with MoCA Adapter Losing Internet Connection on Frontier FIOS

    Thanks for the followup. Dang. Had you also disabled the "Network Search" option on the ECB6250? (Wish you had another ECB6250 on-hand that would allow testing this approach without the NVG468MQ in the mix.) I'm not 100% sure the FCA252 approach will resolve your issues, since the "worked for...
