    MoCa - Help With Network Please - Newbie

    1. Is there more than one cable run between the two floors where one cable run isn't in use? If so, you could use that unused cable run as an internal MoCA supported internal ethernet system, where you wouldn't need a POE filter or splitter in the MoCA system. This leads in to #2, below. 2...

    Is RT-AC86U a dynamic router?

    ".... could I connect it to my main router as a second router and have a different IP Address? " Yes, if the question is, "can I assign a different LAN IP address". No, if the questions is, "can I assign a different WAN IP address". Edit: I'm assuming that the modem has a single operating...

    When should we consider wifi 6 devices?

    Here's a reference to the IEEE Final Approval step: https://standards.ieee.org/develop/gaining-final-approval/finalapp.html Here's the current approval schedule for the standards that are under development / update: http://www.ieee802.org/11/Reports/802.11_Timelines.htm Wifi 6, or 802.11ax...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    @Adamm would it make sense to add ASN (add to the whitelist and remove from the whitelist) as well? I was thinking about this over the weekend. Country bans work really well, so well that whitelisting something like Blizzard is a pain. Being able to whitelist an ASN would make this really...

    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    I think that anyone who attempts to use DFS channels will fall into one of two groups: 1. DFS channels work without interruption as there is no weather radar present to kick the router off to another channel. 2. DFS works but is subject to constant interruption due to presence of weather...

    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    If you need DFS capability, look at the RT-AX88U which has DFS capability and its supported by Merlin. The problem with running a DFS router/modem is that not all mobile devices support DFS channels. That's a hit and miss situation that you won't know of until you're actually running a DFS...

    Cable modems that you would recommend

    I'd definitely recommend a Broadcom modem. Out of this group: Arris SB8200 Motorola MB8600 Netgear CM1000, CM1100, CM1150V, CM 1200 My pick, the CM1200 appears to be the fastest in terms of future data rates. It has aggregate LAN ports for a potential of 2 Gb/s, but, that would also depend...

    Cable modems that you would recommend

    Not a question of salvaging the modem, more a question of correcting development errors that made it into the initial release. Any problems at release were not related to latency. I've been running a Hitron CODA-4582 Puma 7 modem now for almost three years, since its release by Rogers. No...

    Cable modems that you would recommend

    Post your question in this forum: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/motorola Or possibly in the ISP specific forum on this page: http://www.dslreports.com/forums/4 You'll probably receive a larger number of responses and opinions. Fwiw, the Intel Puma 7 is definitely not like the Puma 6...

    plz - where is the script to change my wan mac ?

    As @ColinTaylor indicated, this is a one of change, or as often as you want to do it. Prior to the 384.xxx firmware, if you entered an invalid MAC address, you would see a warning beside the MAC address field. So you would know immediately if there was a problem with the entered MAC address...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    @Adamm are Skynet's country block lists updated updated on a weekly basis or if you run a blocklist update? Or, are the lists downloaded when you enter the country codes, and then remain as a static IP block list from that point? I would think that the actual country IP assignments change over...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    @keef are you running the new Ignite TV service now? If so, you can switch the modem to Bridge mode, but, that's not supported by Rogers. It does work, however, if you have any problems, you need to return to Gateway mode in order for Tech Support to do any troubleshooting. If you have...

    Hitron CODA-4582 vs Ubiquiti ER-4

    Under normal circumstances, when the modem is Bridged, it does nothing but act as an invisible bridge between the neighbourhood node and the ER-4. No firewall, no wifi, no routing, etc, etc is left running on the modem. However, from what I've read in the past, Shaw uses a pass-through mode...

    Hitron CODA-4582 vs Ubiquiti ER-4

    At this point in time the CODA-4582 is a fairly mature modem, I've been using the same modem for almost three years now, in Bridge mode with an Asus router behind it (68U -> 86U). Personal opinion, no ISP modem will ever give you the same control over your wired and wifi networks that you will...

    GVSP (meant to be UDP) packets being block_dropped or resent.

    What modem are you running? Is it a Puma 6 modem which delays UDP and causes UDP loss as well? Intel has released updates for Puma 6 modems, but, no company, from Intel to the modem manufacturers to the ISPs have provided any proof that those updates have successfully resolved the latency and...

    ISP router in bridge mode and ISP FW

    @ColinTaylor pretty well explains what to expect. Yup, when you switch the modem to Bridge mode the router becomes the front end in terms of exposure to the internet, so, you will see the probing that the modem itself will block when its in Gateway mode. So, setup Skynet and start blocking...

    Actiontec Moca 2.0 issue Please help me

    Installing the MoCA filter on the modem will allow you to return both adapters to the Extended D-Band configuration. That will allow the adapters to run at their highest possible data rate. Of course, its possible that you might not be able to take advantage of that depending on whats...

    Actiontec Moca 2.0 issue Please help me

    Yup, looks good. Is the other splitter from Actiontec also a Moca 2.0 splitter (5 to 1675 Mhz)?

    Actiontec Moca 2.0 issue Please help me

    The adapters are capable of running more than just D Band. Here a reference to the MoCA 1.1 spec: http://www.mocalliance.org/MoCA1/specification/MoCA_Specification_for_Device_RF_Characteristics.pdf Section 2.1 MoCA Frequency Plan Page 7/18 lays out the channels and their center...
