Looking back at both pictures, there is some confusion on my part as to where the inbound Rogers cable enters the home. With the installation of any of those modems, where you are arriving from the previous digital service which was/is all cable connected, you would or should only have one continuous cable run from the inbound cable, up to the modem. Now, fwiw, the XB6/XB7/XB8 modems do not need splitters. The second splitter photo that you posted today would be the MoCA splitter. Thats not a problem as long as that splitter is not in the MoCA path. The first picture in the basement appears to be a a typical run of the mill splitter which is not MoCA qualified. Looking at your photo, that POE filter would be installed on the Rogers cable that enters the house, wherever that happens to be.Ĭan you clarify the number of splitters that are used in the house and the cable path? Looking at your original photo and the one that you posted today, it appears that there are two splitters in use. There are numerous posts regarding MoCA installations in the forum, just a matter of searching for you do need to install a MoCA Point of Entry filter. Its possible that there might be some posts regarding this on the Comcast forums. I don't know what the modem is set to run in terms of its MoCA range, and whether or not it automatically adjusts the MoCA channels to avoid the upper end of the extended DOCSIS range. Its possible that this might require two adapters in order to run the same configuration at both ends. That would be worth knowing in order correctly configure the modem (if possible) and the adapter. a Level II tech would be able to tell you what the upper end of the upper OFDM channel happens to be. The question at hand is just how far the 920 Mhz OFDM channel runs. If you log into the modem and navigate to the signal levels, you will see QAM downstream channels listed from 1 to 32 plus potentially two OFDM channels, one starting around 350 Mhz and one at 920 Mhz. It would help to see the signal levels for your modem to see if there is any possibility of that occurring. That frequency extension would also require the Modem and Adapter to run a limited set of MoCA channels, cutting off the lower MoCA channel in order to avoid frequency conflicts with the upper end of the DOCSIS frequency range. That frequency extension would affect the choice of a MoCA POE filter, but, I haven't seen one yet that accommodates the frequency extension with an adequate MoCA blocking capability. In some areas it's possible that Rogers already uses frequencies up to 1218 Mhz, but, there hasn’t been any proof posted that the upper extension is in use. That day is coming, just don’t know when. There are issues with frequency ranges due to the possibility of Rogers extending its DOCSIS frequency range from 5 to 1002 Mhz up to 5 to 1218 Mhz, where that upper frequency range overlaps the lower frequency range of the MoCA channels. > Cable to adapter -.> ethernet to device Inbound cable -> MoCA POE Fillter -> MoCA 2.0 splitter ->Cable to modem Prior to that splitter, you will need to install a MoCA Point of Entry filter (POE Filter). The splitters are available despite the lack of a current web site. Holland Electronics web site hasn’t been running for a while now, don’t know why. These Antronix splitters are used by Rogers and perhaps if you come across a Rogers tech, you could ask him or her for a two port MoCA splitter such as the one’s shown in the pdf file.Īlternatively, there are MoCA 2.0 splitters manufactured by Holland Electronics: You need to replace that splitter with one that is MoCA 2.0 qualified such as this: Sorry for all the questions, any advice would be appreciated it Here is the splitter that was used at the fuse boxĭo I need to buy different splitters that have Moca compliance? The coax cable works fine with the router but not the adapter so what could go wrong? Nevertheless, I have tried using the incoming cable for the adapter and no coax light either. There is also a fuse box in the basement, I opened it and saw there is a junction like a picture above. There is cable box outside the house, I tried to open it and see only one coax cable there which was the one that Modem is currently using. I have tried to unplug the incoming cable that I believe is the POE cable and plugged it into my adapter but go no coax light signal either. I went to the basement and saw the cable junction like this. I tried to use the old coax cable from the living room but got no coax cable light signal. However, I moved my router to the other room and it has coax cable from outside the house plugged in. P reviously, my Router had a coax cable in the living room and it was working fine. ![]() My Router was XB7 Generation 2 and I have the Moca function enabled. ![]() So I have recently bought a Screenbeam Moca 2.5 adapter
