    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    So I just tried enabling encryption. When the adapters are directly connected, communication is good. When I place them in their intended locations, I get no coax light. I then tried playing with different frequencies, and I’m able to get the coax light to re enable, but speed is really bad...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    I tried setting different frequencies but every time it either reverted to 1150 or locked up moca adapters, requiring a factory reset. So enabling encryption will help to separate the frequencies?

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    I finally caved in and just ran a cat6 cable between my two routers.

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Nope it's my installation. Property owner does not reside here or have any knowledge of my coax situation.

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Interesting, I thought that was contrary to spec. Maybe I'm misunderstanding it. Here's what section 1.2 says: "The MoCA system network model creates a coax network which supports communications between a convergence layer in one MoCA node to the corresponding convergence layer in another...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Update. I just removed my X1 DVR from the second splitter, and speeds at both MoCA adapters are now full speed. As soon as I plug the X1 DVR back into this splitter, speeds are reduced to MoCA 1.1. I thought I read in the MoCA spec that different versions of MoCA devices can coexist and run...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    I do have some longer lengths of RG6 I think (I was testing with a 3ft cable), but realistically, climbing up on the roof again to test cables and potentially replace cables is where I'm going to draw the line with this project. I've now set everything back to the way it was (keeping my newer...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Ok so I have now isolated the MoCA network. The only devices attached right now are the two bonded adapters and an X1 DVR. All are attached by a single 3-way splitter. I'm still capping out at around 170Mbps up/down. The only thing attaching these When I run a speed test by my main router I'm...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Here's the amp I have. Spec sheet says nothing about MoCA, but their support video for this amp says to install all MoCA devices on the non-passive leg. Strange that my MoCA has been working for years on the passive leg o_O I wonder, what if I take the input cable, put that onto the input of...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    My installation was done I think in 2012. I'm not sure how to tell if the cables are RG59 or RG6.

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Ok, so that didn't work. I'm still running at MoCA 1.1 speeds. Even if I force the adapters to the appropriate frequencies, they either just revert back to 1150MHz or the adapter freezes and I have to reset them to get back to the config page. Both splitters are rated for the appropriate...

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Looks like I had some errors in my diagram. I started unplugging coax from my amp to determine what was what, and discovered that when I unplugged the passive cable, both MoCA units as well as my X1 DVR and X1 Companion box both got disabled. Aha. So I went up on the roof and there it was, a...

    Will do. I didn't get around to it yesterday but I probably will today.

    MoCA 2.0 Bonded reality check

    Hello SNB, I'm having a dilemma with my MoCA 2.0 network and I'm looking for a bit of guidance. The summary is that I am only getting MoCA 1.1 speed on my network. I have MoCA 2.0 Bonded adapters (Actiontec), so I believe there is a problem somewhere in my system. My hypothesis right now is...
