Hi,Hmm, according the review that was just posted, even flashed with the latest firmaware from page 7 of this thread, the devices still drop their speeds after a while.
Can any of you confirm these findings cause I'm really itchy to purchase these adapters..
Thanks
Hi,
Where is this review that just posted?
My adapters have been stable for 5 days....
Has Actiontech acknowledged that they can reproduce the problem (and thusly, would correct it)?
meanwhile... a simple wall outlet timer on the power for one end - turn off/on once a day, briefly.
can anyone comment on the Interoperability of the Actiontec 1.1 devices and the Actiontec 2.0 devices? Anyone have them both running on their network>?
Is MoCa 2.0 backwards compatible to MoCa 1.1 or 1.0?
Yes, it is backwards compatible to MoCA 1.1.

Hi,
I have done quite a bit of testing because I was told by both Actiontec Support and a MoCA Alliance source that on a MoCA 2.0 setup that simply adding a MoCA 1.1 device would drop the entire MoCA setup to the 1.1 speeds. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE! If the traffic is between 2 MoCA 2.0 legs or devices connected to the MoCA 2.0 adapters, they will continue to function at the MoCA 2.0 speeds even with MoCA 1.1 devices on the same network. If the traffic is between a device on a MoCA 2.0 leg and another device on a MoCA 1.1 leg the speed does use the lower MoCA 1.1 which is totally understandable and predictable. This is similar to using a fast Ethernet device on a Gigabit network, traffic between 2 gigabit devices is not effected by simply connecting a fast Ethernet device to your gigabit network, the speed is determined by who the traffic is between.
Although I had information that MoCA 2.0 and MoCA 1.0 devices were not compatible, I also tried connecting an old Netgear MCA1001v1 MoCA 1.0 adapter to the mixed network and it brought the entire MoCA network down. I had to disconnect it and reboot all of the adapters to get things working again. That was enough testing of the MoCA 2.0 and MoCA 1.0 issue for me.
I used a pair of both the Bonded adapters and the standard MoCA 2.0 Actiontec adapters in my testing.

Hi,So what your describing is how I understood it to work as well. However, from my own testing it doesn't appear to be the case. I have a cable modem with moca 1.1 and two other nodes with the 6200 adapters. They all communicate at moca 1.1 speeds. As soon as I disconnect my cable modem with moca 1.1, communication increases between the moca 2.0 nodes to moca 2.0 speeds. Now that being said, at 1.1 speed my moca 2.0 adapters are still faster than my old moca 1.1 nodes. I attribute this to the Ethernet port going from 100 to 1000 allowing the adapter to fully utilize the moca 1.1 bandwidth. Still I am dissapointed that my moca 2.0 devices aren't communicating at moca 2.0 speed with the moca 1.1 modem present. Did you do something specific to get this working? The moca alliance page specifically has a statement that backs up your test, but I can't seem to get it to work. Wondering if its a limitation with these adapters or firmware.
