    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    On any properly installed MoCA installation, there should be a MoCA POE / Whole Home DVR filter on the input of the first splitter to enter your home. This is important and not optional. Which I suspect is part of the reason the manufacturers seem to be designing these new generation of...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Actiontec has maintained that there are no firmware updates for this product and the one "unofficial" one released was quite a while ago. If you are experiencing problems with whatever version of firmware is on your units, you might try bugging their support people to see if you can get this...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I think you have it. Running an internet speed test does not test your LAN speeds at all, unless you are on 1GB fiber or something like that. The Lan speed test software I suggested will test what speeds you get when transferring files/data between devices/pc's on your local network. Since...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Not sure how you are measuring your transfer speed, but I suggest trying to use something like this, http://totusoft.com/lanspeed1/ Create a share on both machines you are transferring between and use that for the testing, use a 1 or 2 GB file, and then see what that gives you as a speed...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, First, I hope you realize that you need 2 MoCA devices to be able to do anything on MoCA. Second, the rule of thumb is to try it with the splitters you have now, if it works well enough for you, great, if the performance is intermittent, or subpar, then I would consider upgrading the...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Sorry this is such a late response, but the splitters you linked to are not MoCA rated. The failure rate with them on the Tivo forums is about 50%. I would suggest you consider something like this, http://www.techtoolsupply.com/CATV-MoCA-Rated-8-Way-Splitter-p/hol-ghs-8pro-m.htm . The way...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I have not been hearing any recent complaints about problems with the 6200's. If you are curious, I would just try to login to the interface and see what firmware they are now using, there is a fair chance the new ones have already been updated to the linked firmware or something that...

    Hi, any chance you could upload that file somewhere we can all get at it? Please and thank you.

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, You don't say what your connection is to the router, but I can almost bet that one or both of your switches are the "green" energy saving type that turn off ports that when they have not been used for a time. In theory, these switches "should" power back up when they sense activity, but I...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, An FTP server is not the best way to do a speed test and trusting Windows transfer rates to give accurate speeds is not either. I would suggest you setup a share (Folder with sharing enabled) on your desktop and whatever other computer you are going to use for the test. Download the free...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, If you want to use a MoCA filter, recommended, you would place it on the input to the first 2 way splitter. If I understand you correctly anyway. I have no clue why they would put an 8 way splitter in there, but what are those 2 cables connected to it going? The quality of the coax...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Thanks for the heads up, I am glad to hear this. I have one of those and the older 2200's and the 4 Ethernet port one.....but they are all tucked away in a "safe place", I have no clue where exactly though. When I get ambitious, I start digging through boxes. I really hope that this WECB3000...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, I think that the cable standards are pretty universal. The earliest gen MoCA devices often had issues, interference with standard cable boxes and cable modems, and a common solution was either using a separate splitter or or better yet, a diplexer to feed the 2 devices but I have not seen...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, My speeds with the ECB6000 units topped out in the 400/400 Mbps range consistently. I have not been able to get good write speeds with the Bonded ECB6200Q units. The best I get are about 475/725 Mbps that is write/read. This is between i7 desktops both with SSD's and tested via Lan Speed...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, Back again, and I sort of have to back away from my earlier statement regarding a mixed network maintaining the MoCA 2.0 speeds. After thinking about your differing results, I connected one of the Verizon Branded/ Actiontec WCB3000N's (MoCA 1.1) and low and behold just like you the entire...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, It sounds like you might be using either an older Actiontec or the Motorola Gateway with MoCA on your setup. I am not sure about how your MoCA traffic gets routed with that kind of setup, from what I thought I understood traffic between MoCA legs goes direct and is not supposed to be routed...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Hi, I have done quite a bit of testing because I was told by both Actiontec Support and a MoCA Alliance source that on a MoCA 2.0 setup that simply adding a MoCA 1.1 device would drop the entire MoCA setup to the 1.1 speeds. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE! If the traffic is between 2 MoCA 2.0 legs...
