    Need help after switching from regular cable to fiber

    FWIW, the ECB6200 is bonded MoCA 2.0. For reference (especially in case I’d suggested 2500 Mbps MoCA throughput): throughput by MoCA spec MoCA adapters, grouped by throughput .

    Need help after switching from regular cable to fiber

    No need for that, at least not sacrificing both. ‘gist: Sacrificing two rooms means you already have two MoCA adapters available, which would allow an isolated direct MoCA link for one of the stranded nodes, leaving only one node with wireless backhaul. A third MoCA adapter (and 2-way splitter)...

    Need help after switching from regular cable to fiber

    But the “zero loss” doesn’t apply to the MoCA signals, which are outside the frequency range for which the unity gain amplification is spec’d. The MoCA benefits of such amps are just echoing what’s found in MoCA-optimized passive splitters with a “PoE” MoCA filter on the input port..

    Advice sought regards best solution for providing ethernet to detached garage. Homeplug vs Mesh vs P2P Bridge?

    None in the house? (Reading OP, was thinking MoCA to extend wired connection to more advantageous location in the home, then extending network to garage via fiber or other means.)

    Need help after switching from regular cable to fiber

    This *is* surprising, since it should now be the same topology that was previously working, except with the main MoCA adapter connected to the distribution splitter via a short coax cable rather than a longer in-wall cable run. Both 6-ways in-hand could be tried, but you’d want a MoCA-optimized...

    Need help after switching from regular cable to fiber

    Well, there *is* an easy solution that actually offers better aggregate performance … just add another MoCA adapter at the router location and run a second, separate MoCA network on coax isolated from the first MoCA network. So … rather than one shared MoCA network with all active connections...

    I don’t believe a “designed for MoCA” powered amp offers any benefit over a passive splitter optimized for MoCA (with “PoE” MoCA filter on its input port) where MoCA signals are concerned.

    wink. Fingres crssoed.

    Need help after switching from regular cable to fiber

    You may want to use the topology recommended in the linked comment, as well as a MoCA-optimized splitter. (i.e. all MoCA nodes off outputs, “PoE” MoCA filter and 75-ohm terminator on input port; would allow for 5 connected remote locations with current 6-way, 6 if a 2-way is hung off one output...

    If/when you need to update this splitter (like if you shift to using MoCA 2.5, need 7+ output ports, or just want a model with known specs in the MoCA frequency range), be sure to use a model optimized for MoCA 2.x. MoCA-compatible splitter recommendations (… and warnings)

    This should be your issue, that you didn't reconnect the router's MoCA bridge "like before" -- which would have the router's MoCA bridge still connected via one of the output ports of the splitter. With the router moved to the garage and with its MoCA bridge now connected to the splitter's INPUT...

    CAX30 dropping with Moca Setup all of a sudden

    Great to hear. Thanks for circling back to the thread with feedback. (Good to have closure for the archives — and future researchers.)

    CAX30 dropping with Moca Setup all of a sudden

    It will almost certainly work fine without the terminators, but no guarantees. (If forced to put money on the line, my money would be on it working.) But you'll want to get the open ports capped to avoid any possible interference. Updated "see here" link.

    CAX30 dropping with Moca Setup all of a sudden

    Sorry, that wasn’t supposed to get posted. It was still a work-in-progress, set aside to get the relevant question answered. I’ll circle back with the “why things broke” post a bit later. Re: your question confirming what needs to be done, see here...

    CAX30 dropping with Moca Setup all of a sudden

    Entirely correct. — — — That said, since you do have a MoCA filter and 3-way splitter on-hand, you also have the alternative topology available … connecting all 3 MoCA adapters off the outputs of the 3-way, and attaching the “PoE” MoCA filter and 75-ohm terminator to the input port of the...
