    Don't need fancy, don't need dual band, need solid 2.4ghz wifi performance

    Some relatives need to buy a new router. The Wi-fi on the trusty old WRTG54 (with DD-WRT) which I gave them years ago has pretty much died. Just a description of their layout. It's three stories, and the middle level is where the router would be. Two laptops and a desktop with usb wi-fi...

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    Thanks Tim for your help. It certainly is good enough for streaming and it's been nice not having an ethernet cable run across my living room. If I need something requiring greater bandwidth/throughput, I'll look into running ethernet via cable molding.

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    So I swapped the boxes and it started working. I don't know why I didn't try that after doing so many combinations for the connectors you'd think I would've tried that too. I wonder why switching the boxes worked? I am still not sure about the throughput/speed. Using Netmeter, I transferred a...

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    It does, and in addition the cable modem and router work even when I swap the coax in and coax out connections between the MoCA box and the cable modem. In fact at this very moment the cable modem signal is being passed through the MoCA box to the router. I just can't seem to get this MoCA box...

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    So good news bad news. After resetting both devices and setting up the MoCA kits side by side, I was able to test the connection But after putting them back into my setup, it was a no go. I tried all possible combination's with the connectors on the cable modem side and on the switch side...

    Updated the diagram although it's not much different. Thanks for the tips, read that thread as well. I'm going to try some tests hopefully tonight. MoCa Setup

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    Well I got my WNDR3700 and my MCAB1001 MoCA Kit. Everything is setup but the two Netgear MoCA devices don't seem to communicate. Should the MoCA adapter connected to the router show up as an attached device? Nothing shows in the router. I put each device on Config and ran the MCA1001...

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    Thanks Tim, going to look into the Moca kit. I may pick up a WNHDE5111 bridge first since they're much cheaper than the Moca kit to see how good or bad the setup would be. I have a D-Link DGS-2205 switch hanging around so I'll replace the Buffalo with that if/when I get Moca per your...

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    Thanks for the help Tim. I updated the diagram to add the Lan connection from the Moca to the WNDR3700. Moca Diagram Well the Buffalo is there because that's what I'm using currently as my router and I figure I'd just use it on the other side. I got a good deal on the WNDR3700 so that's on its...

    Will MoCA Do What I Want?

    Hello to all. I've also been recently looking into a solution that would let me get rid of my wired ethernet from my main pc/HD media server, to my HTPC which is on the other side of the room. Currently I have a wired ethernet dragging across the middle of my living room which is both an eyesore...
