![]() which is the same regardless of whether the ISP service is cable, DSL or fiber. You're confusing the cable modem and MoCA adapter sharing a coax line as the main MoCA adapter needing to connect via the modem.Īs /u/JohnDeloreansGhost pointed-out, the main bridging MoCA adapter just needs to be connected to a LAN port on the router and the shared coax plant, since the MoCA adapter is simply bridging the router LAN to the coax plant. Yes, the moca plugs into the router via ethernet AFTER that, but it has to be directly connected to the source internet. It's kind of like asking a question about configuring a router and people respond with treatises on how the internet works. But I guess you couldnt have known that, of course. For instance, all the hurdles you mentioned I already knew about because I set up my own MoCA network long ago. Its not arrogance, but rather frustration when you receive multiple responses with long explanations of MoCA without a clear answer to my actual question. Easy to make the mistake when it literally receives the connection first and foremost from outside, which the other redditor was dumbfounded and mystified about.Īnyways, I appreciate the help. I didnt understand that MoCA passes through the outside signal to the modem. It just means they dont understand one portion of a complex system. If someone doesn't understand how a carbeurator works, are they fundamentally ignorant about cars? No. If the coax plant connects to an external source, a "PoE" MoCA filter is required to prevent the MoCA signals from escaping the home. such as eliminating any splitters and just connecting the coax lines to the two rooms using a F-81 barrel connector, to make a direct connection between the adapters. If all is good, right-size the coax plant to optimize the efficiency of the MoCA network.Can your friend inspect his coax to report the components used to centrally connect the coax lines for these two outlets? (Need to verify MoCA compatibility of the coax components.).Are these coax outlets connected to each other via the home coax? (Having the MoCA adapters properly connected in each room is moot if the respective outlets aren't interconnected.).Is there a coax outlet at his gaming console location? (The remote MoCA adapter would need to connect to the coax wall outlet, and then via Ethernet to the gaming console or a GigE network switch to which the gaming console wpuld also be connected.).Is there a coax outlet near his router? (The main bridging MoCA adapter would need to connect to the router LAN via Ethernet, and to the coax wall outlet.).Is the coax plant used for anything else? (OTA antenna and cable TV/Internet are compatible with retail MoCA adapters satellite TV is not.).That's 1/Nth of the solution, the router LAN. His gaming setup is very isolated from the router. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theoryįiber has nothing to do with MoCA. u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network ![]() There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
