![]() And even if you’re a cord-cutter, you likely still have these coaxial cable ports somewhere in your home. Since most homes only have one or two Ethernet ports, utilizing the coaxial cables (traditionally used to connect your television to set-top boxes and cable TV in each room) not only gives you more options to connect to wired internet throughout the house, it can also help you speed up your internet connection. If you’re using WiFi, your router converts the Ethernet connection into a radio frequency that’s then broadcast to your wireless devices.Ī MoCA network uses coaxial cables-like the cords that screw into the back of your TV-to connect your modem to the internet. Though Ethernet can travel over coaxial cables, it’s common practice (and cheaper) to use twisted pair cables-the thinner cords that clip into your modem and computer-to connect to the local area network (LAN). Most households use Ethernet cables to connect to the internet. Gamers and streamers, this one's for you. I do have a Docsis 3.1, the Motorola MB8600.MoCa is shorthand for Multimedia over Coax Alliance, a wired internet option that uses existing coaxial cables to connect to your network instead of traditional mesh WiFi. I have just updated it to be: ISP Coax->PoE filter->2 way splitter - hopefully that does something? I think if I've cobbled together a loose understanding it might help. I kept it around thinking I might need it some day - perhaps today is that day! I also have a PoE filter that was removed when the first technician came to our new home ~3 years ago. Admittedly much is over my head but I'll work on digesting those threads.įor starters I picked up a Legrand two way MoCA splitter that has 5-1525MHz range: Thank you, Plooger, for all the advice and links here. From what I can tell probably just off a LAN port on my main router. *edit*: FWIW, I'll also be adding a Firewalla Purple somewhere in here in the coming weeks. I appreciate any advice or thoughts you can share. I'm wondering if I have it set up wrong somehow and it's causing signal fluctuations. The problem/question I've run in to, is: "do I have it set up correctly?" and I wonder this, because on my Xbox, when I do a network test it shows ~600mbps, but when I download a game it fluctuates between 5 - 325mbps. Once they installed a 2-way splitter, I nearly instantly got ~600mbps in the living room as desired. Comcast came and tested my coax to identify the wall connection in the 1st floor living room where I needed to improve my signal. I learned about MoCA being better than Powerline adapters, so I set up to try and connect those parts of the house. The node helped, but my speeds were limited to ~100mbps in that part of the home. Later I set upan additional ASUS router as a node via Wi-Fi. There it was set up as: Motorola modem->ASUS router. While the house is wired throughout with coax, when we moved my speed was terrible and Comcast came and checked out the splitter, and adjusted it to a 1-to-1 connection from the main ISP Coax in basement to connect to the 2nd floor wall connection. My goal is to troubleshoot/get advice on my setup to bring hardwire speeds from one side of the house to the other via MoCA 2.5 adapters. ![]() I've attached a wiring map for reference - forgive my poor handwriting. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory 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!
