    Hitron 4582 Signal Issue

    You can copy and post the signal level table, from the DOCSIS WAN ..... Downstream Overview line all the way to the bottom of the OFDM/OFDMA section. Ignore the data that resides above the Downstream line as its specific to the modem and should not be posted in an open forum. If you happen to...

    Diversion kaltura.com blocked, but not in blocklist?

    Add the noted addresses one at a time, process the list and then go back in to monitor the blocked address by monitoring the LAN IP address for the particular desktop or laptop. When you have tracked down and whitelisted all of the blocked versions of xxxx.kaltura.com, you shouldn't see any...

    2 cable modems sent, one must go. RT-AX88U and Merlin 384.19

    Fwiw, that approvedmodems page is a load of crap. It says a lot without saying anything at all, ie: its written to look like the author knows what he or she is talking about, but the text is meaningless. Not defending Intel here, or now MaxLinear, but, the Puma 7 is not a problematic Puma 6...

    Low bandwidth on RT-AC86U wired LAN

    Out of curiosity, why are the NAS units running at an MTU of 9000 instead of 1500? I'm assuming that the router is running at 1500 for internet use?

    Mac address cloning issues

    The real question here is what does WuTang Lan mean by the term " ISP provided router ", a modem, gateway modem or router. There are three scenarios that we might be discussing: 1. We're discussing the modem, which in this case is a modem only, with a router behind it: 2. We're discussing a...

    Mac address cloning issues

    Just to note, that won't work in all cases. The fact that is does is rather odd. The CMTS will see two devices with the same MAC address, and in most cases will probably not assign a WAN IP address to the router due to the identical MAC address. That will vary, depending on the ISP. It...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Ah, ok, speeds are back to normal. Much happier with that result. I'd probably have a look at the cable ends at some point, just to satisfy my curiosity and to know whether or not they happen to be a little shorter than desired. Keep an eye on the corrected and uncorrected codewords after a...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Hmmm, thats a bit odd, but, there is the option to return to the passive VOIP path thru the amp and return to the previous connector in the wallplate. Ok, there are a couple of choices here: 1. The 3 Ghz connectors require the mated conductor to be slightly longer. There is the possibility...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Just replace the connector in the wallplate, don't worry about the cable from the wallplate to the modem unless its RG-59 (an old cable). These days pretty well every cable that is installed is RG-6 which supports cable and satellite ops. On the cable jacket, you should see the manufacturers...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Your signal levels are pretty good running thru the VOIP port. If you cross connect the two cables with an F-81 connector, the downstream levels will rise by about 4.5 dB, and the upstream levels will drop by about 4.5 dB. Your downstream levels should be fine, despite the rise in signal...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Yup, I would agree with that. If you don't need or aren't using all of the connected coax cables, I'd suggest disconnecting them. If it ends up that you only need a single connection to the modem, then I'd connect the incoming cable to the required upstairs cable run with an F-81 connector...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Do you happen to have co-located coax cable and ethernet ports on the same wallplates throughout the house, and, do the coax cable and ethernet cables converge at the same point in the basement, in the structured wiring cabinet maybe? If so, this should be easy to solve. The assumption here...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    I think that the main problem here is that there is an existing MoCA 1.0/1.1 network running on D-Low between PVRs. I've asked rmann2020 to ensure that the Device Status frequencies for the Beacon Channel, Primary Channel and Secondary Channel actually change when the operating band, D-ext...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Looking at Spectrum's modem lineup, all except one is a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, so, I'd expect Spectrum's network to be running in the 5 to 1002 Mhz range for now. I could be absolutely wrong, but, that's what I would expect...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Just to point out, the fact that an ISP might be running a DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM channel doesn't mean that the ISP is currently running channels higher than 1 Ghz. I'd be very surprised to see any ISP running anything over 1 Ghz. Antronix recently brought out a new series of splitters to accommodate...

    MoCa - Help With Network Please - Newbie

    Yes, that would work. The question of the day is what are you current signal levels at? If you post your modem stats, that would give you an idea of where they are at the moment. Your modem is the only device on the one side of the splitter, correct? To access the external cable box you're...

    "It will need to be replaced if signals from your MOCA adapters need to pass through it." "If" is the operative word here. If you look at the picture of that amp, you will see one power cable that runs out of the picture to the left, one cable that comes into the home from the outside from the...

    While you're mapping out the cables, consider permanently disconnecting any cables that you don't need or intend to use and combine the "in use" cables onto fewer splitters. Ideally, the fewer number of splitters that are in use, the better, due to the signal drop that you see when you go thru...

    MoCa - Help With Network Please - Newbie

    I agree with @CaptainSTX regarding the test. Running a speedtest with that configuration, where the two adapters are connected with a very short test run of RG-6 will show the max data rate you can expect to see with those adapters. Before you run the test, configure both adapters to use the...
