![]() It's a much bigger project than it sounds at first. Like I said, it's not that it can't be done, but it requires a lot of time and effort that just isn't worth it. Also, if I wanted to do it through the existing hole in the office, I would need to remove a big closet/cabinet that's bolted to the wall as there's only a small space between the wall and the cabinet where the coax connector is (i.e., there's no room to work there right now). Same approach would be queried as regards the TV Room if moving the modem & router to that location were an option.Ĭlick to expand.I would still need to pull the new line back into the family room behind the built-ins, which is where the biggest pain in the butt is. It seemed a manageable task if just a single hole through the siding was needed, but my impression was mistaken. (*so maybe a couple 3 GHz F-81 barrel connectors) But the suggestion/question related to just adding a single line to effect a direct, isolated coax line from the ISP to the modem, to eliminate the signal strength issues as well as MoCA conflict concerns … resulting in a setup with no filters or splitters*, just 2 direct lines: ISP to modem, and MoCA adapter to MoCA adapter. Right, which is what your diagram indicated (“goes directly into Office through siding”) and why I was especially curious, since it seemed the only difficult part would be getting the 2nd line through the siding (temporarily pulling the existing cable and increasing the hole to fit a second line, or a 2nd hole) - assuming the existing Office run wasn’t hidden and so a second line could be easily strung with minimal effort and additional unsightliness.Ĭertainly a much larger effort. There’s just a single coax line between the central junction and Office, at present, right? One 2-way splitter at the central junction and you’re looking to supplant the 2-way splitter currently needed in the Office with a MoCA adapter pass-through port, to get both the modem and MoCA adapter connected? And even if it doesn't work, the wireless backhaul connection is working good enough for the things that I typically do when near the satellite. If it works, then it's certainly good enough at this point for me and my uses. The MB1025's are arriving today so I can test them with the single splitter outside the house. So while running new cable is ideal, it's not worth the extra time and effort at this point. ![]() Thus, while not close to my 1.2 gbps wired speed, it's good enough for what I usually do in the family room (streaming, and only occasional work from my laptop.most work is on my desktop which is hardwired in the office). Just with the 6 ghz wireless backhaul between the ET12s, despite the backhaul connection RSSI being around 70 dbm, I'm still getting around 500 mbps from my phone and over 200 mbps when I test Netflix's streaming connection from the TV that's in that room. Certainly not impossible but quite a bit of time and effort for something that isn't that important relative to other housing projects, and isn't going to dramatically enhance my internet. Then where I would want to hardwire the satellite, there's built-in cabinets and solid wood paneling behind those so multiple layers of solid wood to cut holes through.on top of having to get inside the built-in cabinets to drill out a new hole like if I wanted to run ethernet cable there). So there would be running the cable and also drilling holes through the siding, or completely redoing the cable runs and running them through the attic (current cable runs are outside the house along the siding). Office is on the opposite side of the house from where the cable line emerges from the ground which is also where the splitter would be if I put it back in. ![]() 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. I've attached a diagram of the moca setup with two 2-way splits. 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. 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, I also gave up the MOCA and wired backhaul by giving up the splits.Īfter 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. After removing all the splits and having only one direct cable into the house, my network problems disappeared. It appears that the problems were rooted in poor cable signals and too many splits. I posted this recent thread where I described problems I had setting up my Asus ET12 with ethernet backhaul over MOCA.
