I am in the process of setting up a Moca 2.0 network at my parent's house with the goal of improving their wifi coverage. They currently CenturyLink Fiber with an ONT serving an ethernet jack on one side of the house. The router, an ASUS RT-ac88u can't deliver decent speeds to the exact opposite corner of the house where the tv and streaming boxes are.
The house has 4 coax outlets. 2 were installed rougly 17 years ago and 2 are roughly 28 years old. All the lines feed back to a non-moca spec'ed amp in the box on the side of the house.
I have three Actiontec Moca 2.0 adapters (the white tivo ones) that i have connected to three of the coax jacks. The two newest cable lines communicate fine, but the adapter on either of the older line does not light up with a connection light.
One of the older lines used to have a power inserter on it that i removed before the install. I have tried moving the older line from the power in rf out connection on the amp to just an rf output thinking that was how the new lines were communicating, but still have no signal.
I know amps tend to block moca signals, so i plan to replace the amp with a Holland balanced moca splitter. However, since the street cable line serves no purpose in this system, should i terminate the splitters input with a load cap and make it a closed circuit? If I do, does the splitter still need to be grounded? I may be mistaken, but i don't think the amp currently is, but i do remember seeing a wire that appeared to come from the electric meter into the cable box.
