Hello,
I would most appreciate some assistance with a new MoCA implementation that I'd like to do in my house. I am running a very basic network right now with just a Linksys E2000 running DD-WRT. My networking skills are limited so pardon any dumb questions!
Networking Requirements
1. Upper Floor: I have a network server, cable modem and the E2000 router running in NG Mixed mode to accommodate non-N clients. I don't really need wifi on this floor but I would like gigabit wired connectivity for the server.
2. Main Floor: I have an HTPC with wireless-N connectivity (so-so connection), Cablevision STB, and a network-able TV that isnt connected to the network yet. I want to get a faster/stable connection on this floor for the HTPC and TV. I also want to get a better quality wifi signal on this floor.
3. Lower Floor: I have another TV with STB on this floor. I just need better Wifi on this floor. No other needs here really.
What would be the optimal MoCA + Network configuration for my needs? I have been looking at the Actiontec MI424WR Rev I MoCA routers since they offer wireless N and people seem to report faster MoCA performance as well. If I use these for MoCA networking would they be usable for wireless access as well? Or do I need a router sitting in front of each MoCA device?
Any assitance would be most appreciated!
thanks!
