True. So far, not really needed though. My streaming sticks have an acceptably fast connection via Wifi 5. I might pick up an OTG cable and try a gigabit USB ethernet adapter (I already have one that might work) just to see if there's any improvement at all going MoCA, but I feel like USB 2.0...

Yeah, that just occurred to me late last night hours after writing that post, lol! I was originally using MoCA for all my HTPCs (3 of them), 2 of the 3 endpoints are unreachable (they are in fully finished rooms), so I was thinking about this from the mindset that I still need MoCA. However...

Thinking about rewiring the coax that's accessible in the unfinished part of my basement. It's all RG-59 and I'm thinking to replace with RG-6. I'm currently using MoCA 2.5 with a 4-way passive MoCA splitter. I'm thinking to eliminate a daisy-chain setup consisting of 2-way splitter in a...

It worked! Thanks! I can't imagine how you figured that out, but it's much appreciated.

Nice. I guess Angry IP Scanner doesn't work worth a darn!

Looks like they answered your question, but without answering whether there's a way to get into the configuration UI. I guess it's not really a big deal if I can't, since they do work pretty well, though it would have been nice to see if any tweaks/changes make a difference. I did try to take...

The Quick Start Guide is the only thing that comes with it, unfortunately. There's a sticker, but it only has the same info as the one on the bottom of the unit. I tried Angry IP Scanner and scanned 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 and nothing found. Can just any diplexer work for MoCA? I...

That definitely sounds useful, but I can't seem to get into the device UI. I tried following these instructions: https://8bae2e9d-266c-4d58-9cda-02ca62888697.filesusr.com/ugd/a80ff5_3cb61d1553384cf7baffa6dd675ded4e.pdf I set my IP to 192.168.254.10, but nothing responds when I try to go to...

Got my MoCA adapters today. Other stuff hasn't arrived yet, but decided to give a couple of them a try anyway. Hooked up the one in the "Southeast bedroom" which connects to my network, and the other one on the "South Wall Funny Shaped Room" in my basement. I decided to omit adding a splitter...

None of the datasheets for any splitters list a spec for "port isolation". I looked for it, but didn't find it. One has "isolation" and the other one "isolation loss". I don't know if either or neither of those are the same or not. Is not broadcasting back through the antenna the only...

What is the important spec I should be looking at? Insertion Loss? The MSAT-2 from 950-1820MHz is "20 dB Min". Antronix is 975-1350MHz is "Max/Min <28, Typ 23" and 1350-1675 "Max/Min <25, Typ 16". Is that hugely different? I did see those models, but as is typical for me, I tried to save a...

D'oh! I didn't really think about the model #. Just saw MoCA on it in big print, thought it was good, lol. :( Didn't buy from Amazon so can't return them. Guess I will try them and resell if I don't get good bandwidth. Yeah, that's what I did.

Ended up buying 4. Guess I'll take a gamble on firmware updates. Took your advice and bought real MoCA splitters, 3pcs of Holland MSAT-2. Got an ANTRONIX 4-way for the main splitter. Didn't catch 70dB preferred on the filter till now, I had bought the cheapest Amazon had which is only 40dB...

Makes perfect sense, thanks!

Thanks, that does also get results that make sense (~250Mbps). What is the oddly-high nearly 1Gbit bandwidth in the summary when I do UDP? Is that just a calculated bandwidth if we ignore packet loss?
