Attempting to resolve issues with Moca but encountering problems.
I purchased some moca 2.0 adapters from actiontech hoping to finally establish a wired network upstairs. However, my cabling setup isn’t uniform—I have separate lines going into the basement and another upstairs for TV. These lines split again to reach the bedrooms. While the internet works fine over the adapters, setting up the TV connection has been challenging. I’m concerned it might not function until I try installing the adapters elsewhere in the house or using a switch. Any suggestions?
Typically the main signal line includes a slitter device. One end connects to the internet, while the other goes to a television or splits into multiple channels. It’s important to understand how your coax cable is set up. Also, verify that the coax isn’t being used for satellite TV service. Satellite TV uses the same frequency ranges that MOCA adapters rely on. I’ve noticed this before—someone purchased MOCA adapters and faced problems, but only realized it was incompatible with satellite TV later.
I’m using Xfinity after just moving from direct TV. There’s a single cable line split twice outside my home—one side for one room and the other for the opposite. Downstairs there’s a splitter for TV1 and a modem, while upstairs a jack feeds the other TVs. A single splitter handles all three devices. I tried using both the Comcast splitter and the box’s internal splitter, but still couldn’t get any TV working. It seems like everything should be set up correctly, so I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Your internet seems to be functioning properly now. Plugging the modem into any other splitter besides the main one can cause problems and lead to drops. Did you install a MOCA filter? It blocks the MOCA signal from entering Comcast’s network and sends it back, which can improve signal strength.
Just to clarify, you mentioned trying to connect with TV. I understand Xfinity uses Moca for full-home DVR, so if you already have that setup, a Moca filter might be installed. However, it depends on the placement. You should check your coaxial cable connections thoroughly. Also, if they’re using Moca for the whole home DVR, it’s unclear whether another Moca network can coexist on the same wire.
