    New at Moca and need help. Will this work?

    If the MoCA signals have a physical path via coax to exit the home, a “PoE” MoCA filter is required to block MoCA from passing at the point-of-entry/exit. If the MoCA-infused coax segment is physically isolated and so has no path to exit the home, no “PoE” MoCA filter is required to secure the...

    New at Moca and need help. Will this work?

    Not sure what this means as no suggestion was made to drastically alter the setup; and however well it may be working, a “PoE” MoCA filter is required, as described in the prior reply and linked “outline” comment. If MoCA is already functioning absent a separate MoCA filter to protect the...

    New at Moca and need help. Will this work?

    MoCA is designed to use port hopping (passing between output ports), as described in one or more of the above links; regardless, a simple splitter doesn’t have filtering that would block MoCA signals … which is why the prior reply said that you may require a second “prophylactic” MoCA filter to...

    New at Moca and need help. Will this work?

    Yes, it should work ... provided a 70 dB "PoE" MoCA filter is added to the input port of the top-level 2-way splitter in the junction box, to secure the MoCA signals inside the residence (and also provide a reflective performance benefit to the MoCA signals). A second MoCA filter may be needed...

    Improving FTTP connection around the house?

    Separately, behind a TV may not be optimal placement of a critical wireless access point.

    Improving FTTP connection around the house?

    Any coax outlets around? If the coax is unused or if the needed frequencies are clear, and the lines are or can be interconnected using MoCA-compatible components, MoCA is a much more preferable alternative to extending the router LAN via wire than Powerline.

    Adapter for Co-ax cable tester

    Hopefully it works for you.

    Adapter for Co-ax cable tester

    Super cheap tone tracer… https://www.amazon.co.uk/RUANI-Finder-Generator-Network-Tracer/dp/B0BBT2QJ46/?tag=smallncom-21 … but should work, perhaps facilitated with a DIY adapter to more easily get the probes attached to the coax cable or outlet.

    Adapter for Co-ax cable tester

    Tester appears to be BNC female, I think; so you’d need a BNC male to “whatever” adapter, where “whatever” is the connector type needed for your cabling and or wall sockets. Or you could check for alternative testers designed for the task.

    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    You don’t connect any of its WAN ports. And a Reddit comment saying that they can’t get it to work isn’t evidence that it doesn’t work.

    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    Extended Band D, even, being MoCA 2.5, the default frequency range of pretty much all retail MoCA 2.5 adapters. But, yeah, the adapters need to be configured for the same operating frequency range to link. Yes, but just DOCSIS 3.1 “initial rollout” frequencies (through 1218 MHz) if in use; or...

    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    If you already have a primary router with a built-in wireless access point, yes, it would seem to make more sense to install a standalone MoCA 2.5 adapter at your primary router as, effectively, the MoCA access point to which the CR1000B-as-AP could link via MoCA. Exactly what adapter to buy...

    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    What?!?! Can you be more specific? Pretty much all retail MoCA 2.5 adapters interoperate, including the MoCA 2.5 adapters offered direct from Frontier (and available via eBay at $30 per); and so all are compatible with the built-in MoCA 2.5 LAN bridges available in the Verizon CR1000A/B units...

    Do I need a PoE Filter?

    Good info; thanks for looping back with an example. Depending on specs, you would seem to have shaved around 5+ dB from the antenna signal/tuners path.

    Do I need a PoE Filter?

    In this situation (OTA+MoCA), you can also use antenna/satellite diplexers (example; specs) or MoCA adapters with RF pass-thru ports, to strategically direct signals, accruing slightly less signal loss than would be incurred using simple coax splitters. (related) example diagram:
