![]() ![]() Start off simple and get the MOCA setup working in a test setup. there are numerous cables running along the basement ceiling and i be sure to sort them out before adding the MoCa boxes i have yet to do exact assessment of the existing cable run and will replace any splitter with the compliant hardware and will add POE to both upper lower access point. hmmmm, i not sure i understand? I was doing the upper split for the internet single from the modem to the goCoax and then out to the existing house coax then picking th internet single on the first floor with the second MoCa box (diagram attached without cable boxes - does this make sense?)Ĥ. again, older home built circa 1932 (Montgomery Ward kit house and the original cable was retro fit)ģ. this an older home and all the cable originally ran from the basement and then through the house (however I will double check) the cable company added the upper cable access point.Ģ. unfortunately, there is only the single cable run. Thank you Datalink for your prompt and informative replyġ. That would also mean that you should have a POE filter already installed on the incoming cable downstairs. The frequency bands for MoCA D Band are seen in the spec for MoCA 2.0/2.5 pages 9 and 13: That would restrict the operation of the GoCoax adapters to the D-High band. If so, that would mean that you're already using a MoCA system which is most likely using the MoCA D-Low Band. Are you using the cable boxes in a whole home pvr setup where you can watch a tv show that is recorded on the other cable box. Installing the adapters on the cable box cable system would mean that you would need the POE filter on the downstairs cable where that cable enters the home, and and you would need to replace the existing splitter that is used to support the cable boxes with a MoCA 2.0 compliant splitter from Holland Electronics for example:ĥ. Is that why you were thinking of installing the splitter upstairs?Ĥ. I don't see any need to connect the adapters to the upstairs cable splitter. ![]() I would simply connect the upstairs GoCoax adapter to the cable for the cable box and do the same downstairs. With structured wiring installed, you wouldn't have to use the adapters.ģ. This will depend to some degree on how old the house. ![]() Have you checked behind the existing wallplates and the structured wiring cabinet to determine if you have structured wiring installed but not put to use? Structured wiring is a cable bundle usually consisting of two RG-6 cables for satellite/cable use, one Cat-5e for ethernet and one Cat-3 (possibly Cat-5/5e) for telephones. Is there more than one cable run between the two floors where one cable run isn't in use? If so, you could use that unused cable run as an internal MoCA supported internal ethernet system, where you wouldn't need a POE filter or splitter in the MoCA system. ![]()
