Requirement: Unusual networking setup Component: MoCA adapter Challenge: Overwhelming connectivity issues
I need guidance on configuring a MoCA adapter for wired internet in another room. I’m unsure how to interpret the networking panel and understand the equipment layout. The attached photo shows the router behind the panel in the living room, while the opposite wall has an Ethernet port. Currently, only coax cable is available, so a MoCA solution is necessary. I’ve tried powerline but it didn’t work well. The previous building manager provided free internet, but he’s no longer here. I have two MoCA adapters coming soon. Lights 8, 6, and 5 are green. If I disconnect the router from the Ethernet port, light 6 turns off. I’m in an apartment and used to share this connection with others—maybe it’s still active? I think I should address line 6 since that’s the one affected. Could anyone assist with this setup? It’s not something I’m comfortable with. Thanks!
I appreciate the effort in organizing this setup, but a network map would have been helpful. There’s no universal standard for network panels. If you’re unsure how things function, you’ll need to investigate on your own. Are you in an apartment? Do the Ethernet connections and coaxial cables connect within your home or to other buildings? It seems most of the Ethernet cables end at a patch panel or an unmanaged switch. The damaged, frayed cable at port 8 probably connects to an existing router, which explains the distributed internet access throughout the building.
