    MoCA Adapter Not Working Help Please - Newbie

    I suggest you made a drawing of your installation, as I cannot tell from your description what you are attempting to do. And as I mentioned, in any troubleshooting of MoCA, you'll invariably end up needing to map out the cable plant, e.g. what else is connected, where, etc.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Just remember that those typically amplify the input to the output, and it expect MoCA only on the outputs... there's a PoE built in so you cannot pass MoCA from Input to Output and back. E.g. they are video only amplifiers, doesn't touch the MoCA signal.

    DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 Cable Modems and MOCA

    DOCSIS 3.1 *could* interfere, depends on the implementation: "The DOCSIS 3.1 specification requires cable modems to cover the frequency range of 258 MHz to 1218 MHz for the downstream as well as to receive two 192 MHz channels in parallel. Support to 1794 MHz is optional."...

    MoCA Rookie - Will planned setup work?

    I don't understand your diagram. What is the difference between the "Phone Modem" and the "Cable Modem" ? Do you have (2) Cable Modems? Other than that COAX leg, the rest looks good. However, why do you have an Amp? is that really required?

    MoCA Adapter Not Working Help Please - Newbie

    It's a worthwhile test to upgrade the splitters, but I've never had an issue with those Antronix and MoCA 2.0.... they are really good quality splitters. I would map out the cable plan and ensure there aren't other splitters or other cables in the plant that may be causing issues.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    I'm sorry @rmann2020 but I still don't see if you have followed our advise for testing. E.g. going back several requests to methodically, test the cable plant. Which *exact* action started the problems again, from when you tested with just the 2 MoCA 2.5 adaters on the cable plant? The...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    An in-wall splitter may not be an issue, it's just that you need to know what it's doing, and where the legs go, are they terminated, etc. Have you found *all* F-connector wallplates in your house? Your previous drawing led me to believe you have just 4 drops (and hence just 4 wallplates). If...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    You are then moving higher in the frequency bands, which may make your non-MoCA 2.0 splitter show their weaknesses... Just a guess at this point though.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    See above, the reports are for Cisco DPC3941T DOCSIS modem (MoCA 2.0 bonded), Motorola MM1100 EOC bridge (MoCA 2.0 Bonded), Hitron CODA DOCSIS modem (MoCA 2.0), Rogers Nextbox STB (MoCA 1.1). Hopefully your chipset is not incompatible with all these devices.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Do you have a PoE filter that you could install on the Coax connector of the DPC3941T? I've been wondering if the cable modem is also killing @rmann2020's install. But the fact that your MM1000 are also causing issues seems worrysome, since those are MoCA 2.0 and should also behave nicely with...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Maybe I misread that but you weere also changing D-bands, etc. The suggestion was to leave the cable plant as is, leave the adapters factory stock (no need to set security since you have an PoE filter), and test that; I'm assuming it will work fine since a single run coax works. If it doesn't...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    I'm struggling still to understand why change the D-band(s). MoCA 2.5 should work just fine with MoCA 1.1 (the settop boxes). I'm still of the opinion that either (a) there's still bad cabling plant or (b) external interference by *something*. Which points to the best diagnostics being the...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    According to the datasheet, it's a DOCSIS 3.1 modem but both transmit and receive frequencies are below MoCA, and the modem is designed to support MoCA 2.0 Bonded... So that's unlikely to be the issue... One other suggestion, you will loose internet but just as a test. Disconnect the 4-port...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Out of curiosity, have you tried the current configuration but disconnect the Cable Modem (but leave everything else on) to see if the problem with the MoCA 2.5 adapters goes away? Do you happen to know if your modem is DOCSIS 3.1 by any chance? DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems can interfere with MoCA...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Both MoCA 1.1 and 2.5 work above 1Ghz, but the MoCA uses more bands (5). Yes, ideally he should be using MoCA 2.0 Antronix splitters but they are not required per standards, just need a good quality splitter to work.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    I would not use that satellite combiner... we know that the 2-way splitters are working so far. The Satellite combiner is designed for different application of frequencies (for the LNBs) and therefore you are better off with what you have now. I have to think more about what could be the...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Is your coax cable plant RG-59 or RG-6? RG-6 is preferred (look at the printing on the cablex). Also make sure you are tightening the F-connectors everywhere; finger tight is fine, but well seated. I do wonder based on your teting if you have either (a) a marginal splitter or (b) a bad...

    Great! What changed to make it stable? I prefer to diagram, so I doodled what I meant. Hope it helps further.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    This is what gocoax states in their webpage: Does your MoCA adapter includes a filter inside the device already, such that connecting Modem/TV/etc to the second (marked TV) coaxial connector of the device will filter out MoCA frequencies? Yes, our adapter has two internal band pass filters. One...

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    Hmnm.... But the Nextbox are MoCA devices, aren't they. They should not be connected to the MoCA adapter TV port.... they should be off a splitter. In other words, I count the following total MoCA devices: (2) adapters and (3) Nextboxes, plus the Modem. So in total you need a 6-way splitter...
