Had someone really simplify things down for me when it comes to the actual setup (thankfully). Anyhow, any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! I've already ordered a pair of adapters, but aside from converting 1 coax line, I can't really test out my other theories. If they do, then I'm wondering if I could do a setup like this: I've also seen Coax/RJ45 connectors like this one, but I'm not sure they work like I think they do. Is this how it should be, or is this overkill? Because if the setup in the first diagram works, then I'd prefer do that rather than this second one. So I pictured my setup should be like this: Now my VERY basic understanding of MoCA is that you need a MoCA adapter at both ends of a coax line to essentially make it an ethernet line. I know the video I linked showed them using a single unit that was both PoE MoCA filter and splitter, but I separated them in this diagram for the sake of clarity. And here's a diagram of how I think they did their setup: Or is this setup actually correct? Here's a link to one of the better vids (better as in clearer video quality, not necessarily the setup). Now I understand that everything on this network is bi-directional, but I question how not having a direct connection to the wireless router works in this scenario. I'm not sure if this is a correct installation. A couple of videos I saw showed the person using a splitter with one cable going to the modem, and the other going to a MoCA adapter which then plugs into their wireless router. There are several videos in which the person used a splitter, and sometimes more. I'm a visual learner, but I'm still confused by what I've read and seen online. Is this good enough, or should I get a MoCA-specific one? And is there any particular brand I should get, or are they all relatively the same?

(I have since run all Ethernet lines through the house.but the MoCA ran great for 3+ thank you for your insight!Īs for the filter, I have one installed - it was installed by my cable TV and internet provider when I first switch to them.

Good luck - and feel free to ask questions here.I will do my best to remember what I did. If you connect a MoCA node on the input and one on the output of the splitter, your forward and return losses will be different.causing you to have less than maximum MoCA performance. Connecting on the output balances the forward and return losses of the RF signal. Basically, you connect MoCA devices on the OUTPUT of a splitter.and don't connect one on the input and one on the output. Pay close attention to pages 15-17.discusses what to do if you have a cable signal amplifier and the CORRECT way to connect MoCA nodes off a splitter.

THIS is a really great article from the MoCA Alliance on how to setup a MoCA network.
You can get these devices readily off Amazon. This will keep your MoCA network inside your house. Typical cable TV splitters go up to about 1 GHz in bandwidth.MoCA operates at frequencies over 1 GHz.Īlso, you will want to put a PoE (Point of Entry) MoCA filter where the cable exists your house. I ran a MoCA network through my house a number of years ago.check out the link in my signature.įor best bandwidth, you will have to replace your splitters with MoCA rated frequency splitters. Has anyone done this before? Or is my only option buying 8 adapters? But I haven't found any content online where someone has actually tried this. And theoretically, Solution 2 should work. Solution 2 seems to be the more plausible option - I don't think a MoCA switch even exists as I can't find any information on such an item anywhere. And like the previous solution, plug in my 4 coax cables to the splitter, and attach an adapter at the other end of each line (1 splitter and 5 MoCA adapters) Solution 2 - Basically creating a rudimentary switch by using a single MoCA adapter plugged into my router and attaching a 4-way coax splitter. Solution 1 - Find a MoCA switch I can plug in my coax lines into, and have an adapter at the opposite end of each cable (1 MoCA switch + 4 MoCA adapters) Instead of getting 8 MoCA adapters, this is what I'm hoping to do: I have 4 existing coax lines running from the basement to 4 separate rooms - the living room, office and 2 bedrooms. I'm hoping to improve my home network by using MoCA adapters.
