Reddit reviews Filter, MoCA POE for Cable TV & OTA coaxial Networks ONLY

With satellite not being used, check out MoCA. IMO, it is way more reliable than WiFi. They will require a bit of an investment.

​

I bought these a few years ago, they work really well: https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-Bonded-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6200K02/dp/B013J7O3X0/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=MoCA+adapter&qid=1558476543&s=gateway&sr=8-3

​

Prior to the Actiontec devices, I was using some MoCA 1.1 devices from Netgear. If it wasn't for the sale a few years ago, I'd still be using them.

If you go with MoCA, you may want this filter at the entry point: https://www.amazon.com/Filter-MoCA-Cable-coaxial-networks/dp/B00KO5KHSQ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=MoCA+filter&qid=1558476808&s=gateway&sr=8-3

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KO5KHSQ is exactly what I put on..

This is exactly what techs in the Washington region install for their X1 service. You can buy one and install it at the ground block on the outside of your house, or better yet, if you have a common splitter that all the outlets you want to use are attached to, install it there on the input. A comcast tech may or may not install one for you. Technically it's for customer equipment so not their responsibility, but in reality it takes 5 minutes and sets you up for if you ever want to get X1. So worth a shot, but they may charge you for a trouble call which is far more than the cost of buying your own. But if your outlets are Daisy chained from one splitter to another splitter it may not work as the signal could be getting lost. You really need to have all your outlets in a single splitter for it to work properly.

So partial success just nowhere near reliable enough.


One possibility is that one or both units are defective.

Let's test the units either:

1. get a single, simple piece of coaxial cable and run it between the two adapters
   
2. try the adapters at different locations
   
   if it works under either of those circumstances your issue is likely the wiring (maybe there are splitters in your coaxial cabling, find that and try a more direct connection with fewer splits), maybe the cord is nicked (find the nick wrap with electrical tape and cross your fingers)

   If it isn't that, it COULD be some sort of conflict with the multi-room DVR, that is something trickier and not something I'm familiar in dealing with. Your path forward there COULD potentially be trying to disconnect that one segment of your coaxial network from the others. If that resolves the issue, you COULD try adding a MoCA filter.

   Full disclosure, I'm making speculative guesses.
