    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    i replaced the problematic node with a goCoax bonded 2.5 and the link is now stable for 15+ hours. i guess the newer silicon has a bit more noise margin? anyway, we'll see how it goes. might replace all the nodes with the 2.5 adapters if it goes well.

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    this particular segment was factory-made, no crimps. i can't speak to the wall plate connection as i haven't taken it apart. what i really need here is a TDR/cable analyzer and then maybe i could get a handle on where the weak links are. the bit loading diagrams and RX/TX power seem to be...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    well, this is kind of crazy. the security cam moca endpoint got really flaky, dropping the link for 10s every 2-3 minutes. on a whim i changed out the pigtail connecting it to the wall and things improved a lot. i think the whole plant must be teetering on a knife's edge. maybe this endpoint is...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    yes, i did have to do the sync changes piecemeal so there was a period where they might have been out of sync with each other, but at some point they were all set to the low band and powered off, then powered on. i did notice that they needed to be power cycled when switching to D-band high the...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    i still owe the network diagram - haven't had time to work on this too much. for fun i just tried to switch all the moca endpoints to band D low, and the behavior was very strange. not only could the endpoints not synchronize with one another but they started rebooting themselves continuously...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    it turns out the cameras are all connected to a single moca endpoint (via a switch with POE ethernet connections) and there happens to be a wifi access point there too, but that one is lightly used. i don't think the security camera traffic is what's borking the network as i've stopped it to...

    DOCSIS 3.0 8 channel modem. RG6 plant (house built in the late 90s). no analog cable, no digital TV service, just internet. the POE filter is right at the cable demarc. the modem is connected to the TV/STB port of one of the 6200 boxes. i will draw the network properly and upload it. when i'm...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    thanks for the repiy. i reseated everything yesterday; all open connections are (and were) terminated with 75 ohm caps. 8 channel modem - no moca. currently using channels 40-47 so 645Mhz-687Mhz. upstream channels 5-8. i don't actually think there's any conflict here. i did disconnect the...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    from reading more threads here, i'm wondering if either my cablemodem is stepping on something, or i have some very fundamental problem in the plant. one thing i can't remember is when i upgraded my modem, but i believe it was before installing the ECB6200s. the 6200s are set to extended D band...

    usefulness of upgrade from actiontec 2.0 -> 2.5?

    Hi All, i've currently got a 4-node actiontec moca 2.0 network going in the house. with all the WFH going on, i started noticing intermittent problems with wifi. long story short, these problems seem to really be moca backhaul issues. first off, i'm seeing asymmetric bandwidth between certain...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    sorry i missed your question... the yitongs are somewhat unstable. i have one of them that locked up every few days. it was bad enough that i bought a controllable power switch and hooked it up to a raspberry pi which monitors connectivity to my servers and power-cycles the yitong. i contacted...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    thanks for your perspective. i have a filter installed, however, it and part of the network are outside the house. since the physical security of the network is already compromised, i'm not comfortable running without encryption. i am using the v1 version and my plan was to retire them all in...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    hi everyone - i have been thinking about getting these adapters, but the apparent lack of encryption support has given me pause. i've visited this thread a few times over the past couple of years. currently i am using netgear mca1001s in my network, which are working fine, but in this age of...
