Hello, I found these forums and great info regarding MoCA in the past. I just ordered a couple of MoCA 2.5 adapters from GoCoax that should arrive today or Monday.
I wanted to get feedback on my current wiring setup and if my plan for the location of the 2.5 adapters is correct.
See the two attached images. The one titled MoCA 1.1 is my current setup which feeds from a TiVo Roamio. I do have a couple of TiVo Mini 95 boxes that support MoCA 2.0, but of course limited to 1.1 at the moment. My main goal is to feed my Mac Mini with a MoCA wired connection.
The image titled MoCA 2.5 is where I figure I'd place the two GoCoax adapters (between wall jack and Roamio and then replacing the WCB3000N adapter).
My main questions are:
1.) Is the GoCoax adapter by the Roamio the best location? I've also seen some that place it on the cable modem branch. Or does it really not matter? My first inclination is to keep the connections to the cable modem as "clean" and with less splits and interruptions as possible.
2.) I have two splitters in my wall coming from the outside and then into the family room and so on. Is this preferred for optimal internet signal and feeding the MoCA devices? Or would I be better off consolidating then and replacing that 2-way and 3-way splitter with the 4-way splitter that is in my crawlspace (see diagrams)?
Thanks!
