    Actiontec MI424-WR as a MOcA bridge without Verizon

    Actiontec MI424WR - a cheap MoCA bridge for all! So... You have tried 802.11g and power line adapters. You are thinking about investing in 802.11n, but have heard even that may not do HD streaming reliably all the time. Yes... You want to run cat5, but it is just not possible due to xyz. The...

    Actiontec MI424-WR as a MOcA bridge without Verizon

    Actually for me it would NOT work if I connected LAN to WAN. I had to connect LAN to LAN for it to work. xnappo P.S. - Tim - if you want to move this thread to a more appropriate section feel free. I wasn't paying attention when I started it.

    Worked like a charm! Just disable everything except the bridge, connect your router LAN to the Actiontec LAN and you are good to go. Ahhh the smug satisfaction of getting something for $40 that is selling for $175. xnappo

    Thanks a lot - do I need to run both in bridge mode? If I just run the one connected to my router in bridge mode, can I have the one connected to the XBOX360 and HTPC in router mode? Otherwise I would only have one port on the receiving side right? xnappo

    Actiontec MI424-WR as a MOcA bridge without Verizon

    Thanks Tim. From what I have read, it is definitely possible to force it to just be a bridge. My main concern was using a splitter on the cable modem side since this guy doesn't have separate in/out coax jacks. I wasn't sure if that called for a high/low pass filter instead of just a...

    Actiontec MI424-WR as a MOcA bridge without Verizon

    Hello all, Reading about the new D-Link MOcA router introduced me to this concept - and it is exactly what I need (power line doesn't work for the rooms I need to connect, and wireless is.. well wireless). However they are a bit pricey. It seems like I missed the window on good NiM100...
