I am moving to an apartment and plan to subscribe to Uverse, because the cable company will not provide competitive pricing. I would like to use MoCA to deliver the Uverse signal to one or more set top boxes through the existing COAX. I understand the frequency the Uverse routers, coaxial connection uses, will interfere with the cable signal provided by the HOA, on the other hand I was told the MoCA adapters will not.
I was reading the specification on the Actiontech ECB2500C. The specification indicates the MoCA adapter supports VLAN Tagging. The question I have is if VLAN tagging is a standard MoCA feature or specific to the Actiontec MoCA adapter. Does VLAN Tagging supports the same functionality as IGMP snooping to prevent IPTV flooding? I am also considering the Motorola SBM1100 and SBM1400 MoCA Adapters and wonder if the adapters also support VLAN Tagging. I was planning to connect the single port SBM1100 to a port on the Uverse router and the Set Top Box to one port of the SBM1400. The SBM1400 has four Ethernet ports. I plan on using one Ethernet port on the SBM1400 to connect a printer and another port to connect a computer. Will VLAN Tagging cause the switch in the SBM1400 to route IPTV traffic to the port the set top box is connected to only, or or will IPTV traffic be transmitted to all ports on the SBM1400 switch.
