    Mesh Wi-Fi Mashup

    To be honest, I have no idea. I don't need a display on my router, so I don't use it. I just have it set to show the clock. Other than that, I haven't touched it. I've experimented with turning the LCD and LED light completely off, but for now I just have them turned down very dim. I...

    Mesh Wi-Fi Mashup

    Yep, connected to each other via WiFi - just like Google WiFi. The first unit is connected to my modem via ethernet. Amplifi doesn't yet support ethernet backhaul, but they have stated in response to many Amazon reviews that it is something they are actively working on and will support soon...

    Mesh Wi-Fi Mashup

    Yes, you can! I have 2 Amplifi HD routers (base units) in a mesh set up. Been using it for 3 days. Works perfectly so far with seamless handoff, etc. They work better than Google WiFi in my set up. Much stronger signal than Google WiFi (stronger connectivity between mesh points, stronger...

    MoCA 2.0 with Cable Amplifier

    You don't need to use the "modem" port of the 5-way amp. You are correct that MOCA only works on the other 4 ports, so most people just hook their modem up to one of the 4 "amped" ports (that's what I do). MOCA will traverse those 4 taps. The "modem" port is unpowered (un-amped) and is only...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I think you're confusing megabits, megabytes, etc. CooperLily was saying that they saw 230Mbps on a speed test via wifi and 10Mbps when connected via ethernet to the MOCA adapter. That shouldn't be happening. Even with a MOCA 1.1 adapter (all of them are limited to 100Mbps speeds due to the...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    If you are using a separate router, then the modem should be out of play. It should be set up in bridge mode and it simply provides internet connectivity to the router. The modem doesn't need to be MOCA certified (if there is even such a thing for a modem). The router then provides the...

    MoCA 2.0 with Cable Amplifier

    These Commscope and PPC/EVO amps aren't exactly "amps" in the traditional sense though (they aren't unity gain amps like the old days - that's what a Comcast tech on the Comcast forums explained once). They are more like 5-way splitters with a 0db forward & return gain. Comcast uses them on...

    MoCA 2.0 with Cable Amplifier

    I have the EVO1-5-U/U amp which does the same thing as your Commscope (Comcast uses both the PPC/EVO and Commscope amps from what I read on Comcast forums when looking for an amp myself). It is MOCA-certified (the instructions contain the MOCA logo) and works fine with MOCA 1.1. I do not own...
