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 problems disappeared. However, I also gave up the MOCA and wired backhaul by giving up the splits.
After testing the tolerance of my house for splits, it looks like I can only handle one 2-way split outside the house without negatively impacting the signal at the cable modem. With one split, modem goes from 42 to around 45 for upstream power and +5 to around 0 for downstream power, and no errors. However, as soon as I introduce the split just before the cable modem and MOCA, modem starts to test its tolerance limits by being around 50 for upstream power, and corrected and uncorrected errors start to appear in the modem diagnostics.
I've attached a diagram of the moca setup with two 2-way splits. I'm wondering if there's any way I can remove the 2-way split just before the cable modem/moca adapter so that I just have one split in my network and I can keep the network issues from cropping up.
