    Configure Adguard TLS DNS with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Just want to say thanks. I was having trouble getting this working, and dropping 'tls://' did the trick. Appreciate you following up!

    Zyxel PLA5456KIT - any feedback

    Interesting. I'm likely returning the Zyxel adapters. I'm coming from the Netgear XAVB5101 and had lots of problems streaming from a Windows 7 media center to an Xbox 360. I thought the MIMO adapters would resolve this, and it is better, but the root issues still exist. Buffering pauses...

    Zyxel PLA5456KIT - any feedback

    Any info on the new Zyxel PLA5456 kit? I went ahead and ordered a set since I was in the market and will be able to make use of the 2 ports per device. But I can't seem to find any info on them anywhere, besides a generic press release announcing them. I get that the AV2000 is generally a...

    Will this MoCA setup work?

    I've posted before on other threads about using MoCA for my home. I've drawn up a diagram of what I had in mind, and I'd love to get some feedback on if it will work the way it's diagrammed and how I can make it better. This is what I have so far: My main concern is all the diagrams...

    MoCA Installation

    That spot sounds promising. If that's how it is upstairs, I imagine the builder doing the same in your place. I would find a way to pop that faceplate off, take a picture and post it here. A lot of times the faceplates come off with exerting a little bit of pressure straight up. Other times...

    MoCA Installation

    I'm new to this also, but always looking to learn more. I agree with Stevech, you're going to have to trace the path somehow. Whoever you hire will have to do it, and likely charge you a bit to do it. If you have upstair neighbors, perhaps you could ask them if they have cable and if they know...

    How do 3+ MoCA adapters communicate?

    So if I'm just using the 3 OUT ports for each MoCA device to communicate with each other (no Satellite or Cable TV in the house), would it matter if I got a splitter vs. a power divider? This is the one I was looking at on amazon. I'm assuming it will work.

    How do 3+ MoCA adapters communicate?

    I think I found the answer here. Looks like the OUT portions of the splitter are made to communicate with each other, so I would have to buy a 3 or 4 way splitter. Anyone know if I would be able to send an OTA antenna signal from one of the MoCA adapters to the other without interfering with...

    How do 3+ MoCA adapters communicate?

    So thanks to some users here I discovered MoCA and think it will work well in my case. The only part I don't understand is how more than 2 adapters communicate. I'm assuming the basic setup would be: - Comcast from outside to cable modem (coax) - Cable modem to wireless router (cat5e)...

    MOCA 2.0 was ratified in June of 2010, where are the products?

    So what is the most viable MoCA/HPNA solution right now? The only product I can really find that's in-stock is the Actiontec adapter. It gets fairly good reviews, so I might give these a shot. Pricey, though... wow.

    FYI: Throughput using aging D-Link DXN-220

    Good info. You recommended a MoCA solution on a different post I had and I think it might be a good fit for what I need. But it doesn't look like many retailers have these units in stock. I was looking at either the D-Link or Netgear products, and both are unavailable from Amazon and Newegg. Is...

    Isolating 5Ghz for media streaming

    Thanks for the replies. For the powerline, I might try that upstairs, but the downstairs is on a separate sub-panel. I'm going to try it out, but don't have high hopes based off reviews I've read. The sub-panel feeds into the main panel, so maybe it will just take some trial/error. Stevech...

    Isolating 5Ghz for media streaming

    Well, next room over and down a floor. :) The house isn't pre-wired at all and I'd prefer to not run new cables if I can avoid it. To do it properly, I'd have to run the cable down an exterior wall, which I've heard is problematic. I also thought about doing powerline adapters, which I might do...

    Isolating 5Ghz for media streaming

    That's true. We're not in the house yet, so can't confirm anything, but the location would the next room over, but in the basement. I've been assuming it will reach. If not, is there a better scenario to ensure the streaming devices get the bandwidth they need?

    Isolating 5Ghz for media streaming

    I'm not sure if I'm looking at this correctly and would love some insight. I'm going to buy a Cisco EA3500 to replace my WRT54g (which I'll use for a guest network). The main reason is we're moving to a new house and will be using my Xbox 360 as a media center extender in the basement. It will...
