    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    The effect on conferencing is just one example. It affects ALL internet traffic.

    SOLD 2x Motorola MM1025 2.5Gbps MoCa Adapters

    Yes, both boxes contain the MoCa filter you are referring to. One of the boxes is missing the short coax cable.

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Update: I purchased two Motorola MM1025 2.5Gbps MoCa adapters and successfully established and maintained a 2.5Gbps link over a new coax cable. Unfortunately, this means that the coax cables running through the walls must be causing the connectivity drops. Given that I have no access to these...

    SOLD 2x Motorola MM1025 2.5Gbps MoCa Adapters

    I am selling two Open Box Motorola MM1025 2.5 Gbps MoCa Adapters as a set for $125 + $10 for ground shipping. The adapters have been verified to work correctly (tested with a 25ft coax cable). They establish and maintain a solid green connection. My reason for selling is because the (rg59) coax...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Certainly good advice, thank you. I did actually try Motorola MoCa adapters also, besides a different switch. Same result. I can’t pin down where the problem is really originating from. Ten years ago I used a whole-house MoCa network, and it worked great. This time… I can’t figure out what’s...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    To test if the coax cable in the wall may be causing issues, I tried a brand new 10ft coax cable to directly connect the 2 MoCA adapters point-to-point. That delivers good speeds at about 960Mbps, but I am STILL experiencing the occasional hiccups. During a conference call, the audio will...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    I currently have a switch between the MoCa adapter and my laptop & PC, but not between the internet router and the other MoCa adapter. However, the router has a built-in switch, so that should be sufficient as a buffer. I am going to try one other coax cable directly between the MoCa adapters...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    I should add... my coax cables are disconnected from other apartments, so I am not using (or in need of) a PoE filter. I am using a single, direct coax cable between two outlets, which are completely disconnected from other outlets.

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Reviving old thread. I decided to give this another try to see if I can narrow down the cause of the hiccups. I am wondering what is actually happening during these hiccups. I highly doubt there is an issue with the ethernet cables, and my ethernet adapters have never given me problems on...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Hold on... CAT8 might not be my best option here? I was under the impression that even though I don't NEED the bandwidth supported by CAT8, it won't hurt. I have SO many old cables (CAT and USB) of which I don't recall the rated speed that I decided to opt for overkill. Are you saying CAT8...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Agree. Tomorrow I will receive a 2.5Gbps USB-C ethernet adapter to try instead of my docking station. If that does not solve the issue, next test is to remove my QNAP switch (4x2.5Gbps + 2x10Gbps ) from the equation too and directly plug my MacBook into the MoCA adapter via a CAT8 cable and the...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Interesting... I actually started with the ScreenBeam adapters you mentioned, because they are significantly cheaper compared to the Motos. But because I experienced these hiccups, I figured let's give the Motorolas a try. Alas, no difference... I will also spend some time working off my...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    I appreciate both your lightning fast replies and suggestions! When it comes to wired connections, I am starting to wonder if the Thunderbolt docking station I am using with my M1 Macbook may be the culprit. I ordered an Anker 2.5 Gbps USB-C to Ethernet adapter from Amazon that I can try...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    I am experiencing occasional hiccups / freezes during conference calls with my home network over MoCA. I live in an apartment building that provides Gigabit Internet. It has a wireless access point in each unit (IBT U6-IW-US) with 4x GbE RJ45 ports. I am getting 925Mbps up and down over wired...

    ASUS iOS app not finding router in bridge mode

    I appreciate your reply, thank you. I have no login access to the IBT access point, but when I power off the AX86U and connect my iPhone to the IBT access point directly, I am getting IP address 192.168.1.123/255.255.254.0. My iPhone also shows a "Router" IP address of 192.168.0.1, which is...

    ASUS iOS app not finding router in bridge mode

    My apartment complex recently contracted with IBT to provide fiber internet to each apartment unit via a managed wireless access point in each apartment. So, I reconfigured my RT-AX86U (running Merlin firmware 388.2_2) as a media bridge for my home office desk, because the AX86U establishes a...

    Create and install a Root CA and self-signed SSL certificate

    If you use official Asus firmware on your router and you want a secure connection to your router from ANY random computer, you have no other option than to install a certificate that was issued by an official/public certificate authority like Let's Encrypt. The downside of free certificates...

    RT-N66U and WOL

    It is probably a known issue that WOL over internet does not always work reliably with the RT-N66U (standard FW 3.0.0.4.374_5517). Haven't updated to the latest FW yet because I did not see any fixes in the release notes that concerned me. My UDP port 9 forward has been set up to a specific...

    WOL on RT-N66U

    I can confirm that when you add a static entry to the arp table, WOL keeps working nicely, also after a reboot. I plugged in a FAT formatted 2GB USB flash drive and installed Download Master, then added my arp entry (arp -s 192.168.xxx.xxx AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) to the end of the /opt/.asusrouter...
