    MoCA or Powerline? (newb)

    I'm surprised it isn't better known also. The percentage of homes with built-in coax must far outstrip those with ethernet (although that will probably be changing over time). I was at Best Buy earlier this week to look at the SB6782 and there was a Geek Squad "Home Theater Installation"...

    MoCA or Powerline? (newb)

    I have an SB6120, which is DOCIS 3.0 also, but I'm assuming an earlier model. I got it in June 2010. See my post above about what I *think* "built-in MoCA" means. Ditto. Although I think Stevech has a good point about avoiding finger-pointing by using Comcast's device. Fortunately, it...

    MoCA or Powerline? (newb)

    My question (or confusion) about MoCA and this particular all-in-one has to do with one of its features being listed as "MoCA networking for smart devices." To me this means that if this modem were plugged into a router then you could just hook up a MoCA-ready device--like a Tivo...

    MoCA or Powerline? (newb)

    Abailey--thanks for the input. That diagram you have is very helpful too. I do have a question: I don't see a MoCA adapter at your cable modem, which looks very much like a Motorola SB6782AC. I've just recently run across this and it is a combo modem, 4-port Gb switch, and wireless AC...

    MoCA or Powerline? (newb)

    Hi Tim, Thanks for the welcome and the response. I'm going to dig into those two docs ASAP. They are a couple/three years old and are ZyXEL PLA401v4 HomePlug AV 200 Mbps units. I've never really tested what kind of throughput they are doing. I just have one at my router and the...

    MoCA 2.0 products

    I saw the same video, and a few others too. Arris had a similar device that I actually called them about but it sounded like they plan on selling it only to cable providers. Wish they were available now! STP Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    MoCA or Powerline? (newb)

    Very happy to have come across this site. I've been trying to get my wits wrapped around this topic at sites like AVS Forums, with limited success. I want to expand my home theater/AV centers (living and bedroom) to include an HTPC. Replacing two Comcast DVR's and their monthly fees in the...

    Powerline - When new Gigabit Adapers ?

    Here's a quote from a press release re TP-Link gigabit powerline adapters. I haven't seen one in the wild yet though and we're into Q2 now.... LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TP-LINK, a global provider of networking products, today announced the TL-PA8010 AV1000 Gigabit Powerline...
