    MoCA 2.0 and MoCA 1.1 interoperability

    Andrei, I have the Netgear MCAB1001 MoCA 1.1 adapters. I am not able to stream any video files that head north of 20Mbps. My saga is documented here: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=1246&page=11 There's no way I can stream one full HD MKV let alone three at this time...

    Trouble Shooting Dlink Moca Speeds

    Did you ever find a solution to your bandwidth problems?

    My MOCA experience setting up Netgear MOCA adapters with Comcast

    I can only base it off of what I see in Wireshark, which lists "TCP" in the Protocol column for the tens of thousands of packets transmitted to and acknowledged by the bluray player. If there's a masked underlying UDP layer in there somewhere, I don't have the smarts to see it right now...

    My MOCA experience setting up Netgear MOCA adapters with Comcast

    Sorry, 8K was the default TCP Window size used in Jperf, not the TCP Window size used during actual Win7 transmissions. The high bitrate video files play flawlessly in any configuration where the MCA1001 is not in the transmission path. That indicates the LG BD670 (and LG BD570) bluray...

    Ethernet from your TV Outlet: NETGEAR MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit Reviewed

    I appreciate your response. I'm hungry for any dialog on my problem because it's so mysterious. As I've recently learned, Vista and Win7 have automatic TCP Window scaling to make up for some previous IPV4 TCP stack weaknesses. When I look at my Wireshark capture files, the TCP Window scales...

    My MOCA experience setting up Netgear MOCA adapters with Comcast

    Using LAN Speed Test (www.totusoft.com), I get great speeds over MoCA (74Mbps write, 84Mbps read) when doing standard Win7 file transfers. However, when I played around with Jperf, I noticed that a default TCP Window size of 8K would only give me 20Mbps throughput, As I increased the TCP...

    My MOCA experience setting up Netgear MOCA adapters with Comcast

    I tested my adapters and had no problem syncing through 5-1000MHz splitters while using the 1000MHz+ sync frequencies. It doesn't make much sense that I can but I've read that several others have experienced the same behavior with 5-1000MHz splitters. Weird. If you think you are getting...

    Ethernet from your TV Outlet: NETGEAR MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit Reviewed

    I'm still pursuing a solution because it's been a great learning opportunity for me. I was able to replicate your troubles by using Jperf. If I leave the TCP Window at the default 8K, I only get about 20Mbps throughput. However, if I change the TCP Windows to 128K, I get over 90Mbps. I'm...

    Ethernet from your TV Outlet: NETGEAR MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit Reviewed

    Ken--Did you ever find a solution. I have 4 MCA1001s in my LAN. I consistently get 84Mbps read speeds when testing with LAN Speed Test (www.totusoft.com). However, as soon as I try to stream higher bitrate videos--overall bitrate of 16.9Mbps with occasional surge to 30Mbps--I get consistent...

    Home theatre - Wlan question

    I use the D-Link DAP-1522 in bridge mode for this very purpose. It connects wirelessly with my Netgear WNDR3700 (on the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band) in order to provide RJ45 connectivity to my Yamaha receiver. The reason I went with the DAP-1522 is that is has a built-in 4-port gigabit switch...

    Connecting 2 WNDR3700 via Ethernet

    Try one of these. I think this is what you want to do: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30740&Itemid=229 or http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30338-how-to-convert-a-wireless-router-into-an-access-point or...
