    ASUS ZenWiFi XT12 or ET12

    I've got the ET12's with the backhaul set to auto but it's been using the 6 ghz for backhaul. The 6 ghz has worked surprisingly well for me for wireless backhaul. I thought the distance would be too far for it to work effectively. I've got a 2100 sq foot house. Main ET12 is in loft office...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    So I tried out the Motorola MM1025's and unfortunately I think I just have bad cables so MOCA will not work for me without running new cable. Did things one step at a time. 1. Reintroduced single split outside, tested cable modem signals. Everything within spec, no errors. Top speeds. 2...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    I would still need to pull the new line back into the family room behind the built-ins, which is where the biggest pain in the butt is. Also, if I wanted to do it through the existing hole in the office, I would need to remove a big closet/cabinet that's bolted to the wall as there's only a small...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    Office is on the opposite side of the house from where the cable line emerges from the ground which is also where the splitter would be if I put it back in. Office is also on 2nd story. So there would be running the cable and also drilling holes through the siding, or completely redoing the...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    I'll cross that bridge when it comes. Right now Xfinity's top speed in my area is 1.2 gbps and my MB8611 DOCSIS 3.1 works great with that at the sub 1 ghz frequencies. Running cable through or around my house would be a major pain in the butt given some structural things about my house, so I'll...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    This comment on Amazon tells me that I could do this and the Motorola would not cause the same signal issue as a splitter. It’s critical to understand that any MoCA adapter with a pass-through coax port is using a diplexer (parallel filters) internally, and not a simple splitter, to splice the...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    Wondering if the Motorola MM1025 would be a better choice with its 2 coax ports....coax cable from wall into Motorola "network" coax port, "device" coax port output to cable modem, ethernet cable from cable modem to router, ethernet cable from router to network switch, ethernet cable from...

    How to set up MOCA network with only one splitter?

    I posted this recent thread where I described problems I had setting up my Asus ET12 with ethernet backhaul over MOCA. It appears that the problems were rooted in poor cable signals and too many splits. After removing all the splits and having only one direct cable into the house, my network...

    Asus MA-25 for wired backhaul only shows 1 gig connection on Asus ET12 satellite

    So I removed the MOCA and the splits. Cable signals improved to -42ish for upload and +5ish for download, and no more errors. SNR improved to around 40 from 36-37. Re-hooked up the ASUS ET12 and everything is acting very stable and normal. Was getting my full 1.1-1.2 gbps when laptop connected...

    Asus MA-25 for wired backhaul only shows 1 gig connection on Asus ET12 satellite

    Basically to outline the timeline of my issues: 1. Had a Nest mesh wifi system (2 routers, 1 point) with three Screenbeam 6250 Moca's, and Netgear CM1100 modem. Main Nest router in office, connected to modem and also Netgear 1 gig switch which was connected to the Moca. 2nd Nest router was in...

    Asus MA-25 for wired backhaul only shows 1 gig connection on Asus ET12 satellite

    Yeah it's hard to say. I know there's some cable issues in the bedroom as the modem won't consistently connect. I haven't tried connecting the modem down by the TV. Maybe it's an ET12 issue but I was also having issues with my Nest last week before I upgraded to ET12. Specifically, when trying...

    Asus MA-25 for wired backhaul only shows 1 gig connection on Asus ET12 satellite

    Thanks for your replies. I think the issue is with the quality of my cable connections. This morning I woke up to the ET12 satellite being offline, then came back online. After coming back online, it said it had a 2.5 gig connection. However, the ET12 kept going back offline and coming back...

    Asus MA-25 for wired backhaul only shows 1 gig connection on Asus ET12 satellite

    I recently purchased two Asus MA-25's to set up a MOCA network with 2.5 gig ethernet connections (previously I had Actiontec 6250's with the 1 gig connection). I also got the Asus Zen Wifi ET12 which has a 2.5 gig wan port and also a 2.5 gig LAN port, using one of the Mocas for wired backhaul on...
