problem solved. it was a total case of PIBCAK. I noticed my cat playing with the end of a power cable and had no idea where it came from and was also concerned it might be plugged in. Sure enough it was..... then it occurred to me, trying to detangle all the spaghetti when plugging everything...

I've read the other posts in this forum from circa 2014 but this sounds kind of different. I purchased this router about 4 years ago and it has been completely silent up until today. We had a quick brownout, everything powered back up and all was fine. I had purchased a UPS a while back and...

any new info on release date for the asus? my draytek died, fell back to the good old wrt54g, was planning on ordering a new router tonight but could hold on a bit longer for the RT-AC3200 if we'll be seeing it soon.

I realize that, but TV is carried on the same coax, I wasn't certain if you needed to strip out the MoCA stuff before connecting it to a TV or if the TV would just ignore the higher bandwidth data.

Thanks. But I DONT need adapters at any location I want to connect a TV (and don't want a data port)?

Will do. Hopefully I get it right first time out because this guy's house is about 2 hours from me.

OK, I think I'm overthinking things and confusing myself. Been working on how to wire this solution for the past 2 hours, reading forums etc. This diagram has been pointed to in another forum several times, but I'm unsure as to where I'd put a 1x8 switch that connects all the coax runs...

we'll have to do moca or powerline, the owner does not want to see any cables exposed. he pointed out where the previous owner had run coax from a cable jack down along the baseboard in one room and said get rid of that ****, i don't want to see any of that. the electric in the house may be...

Oops, it's a logitech product. And now that I look at it, it's the one I have for my Logitech security cameras. I'd never use these in a customer's home :). Zyxel without PoE it is. I've used their ZyWall routers and wireless SIP phones in the past and have been happy with those products.

NewEgg has the zyxel 4201 as PoE and the 4205 as not, but the zyxel datasheets dont mention PoE for either, so I imagine that's an error on newegg's part. Linksys apparently has a PoE model but it's only 200mbit. Which may be fine, but why go with an older generation of products. PoE just...

stupid question perhaps, but do any of these powerline adapters also work as PoE injectors?

I've never used MoCA (short of the MoCA boxes that Comcast or Verizon might use). So I imagine I'd have a switch, and off the switch would be some sort of MoCA converter that goes ethernet to coax, and then at the other end, I'd have coax to ethernet? Is it still possible to put a cable box on...

I need to set up the network for a 7000 sq ft home. It was built in the 60s and the only structured wiring is for phones. Typically I use a Cisco 5505 router and Cisco 121s with PoE for WAPs (and an L2 or L3 switch if they want a guest wireless). Won't work here obviously. I hate using...
