![]() I connected the upper and main level coax. I replaced the Extreme splitter with the BAMF, with the filter on the incoming connection. I am aware that a number of posters have recommended Holland splitters but due to delivery time and wanting to sort this sooner than later I ordered and received a BAMF 6-way bi-directional splitter upon some reading my understanding is that I needed a broader range to support MoCA. I also noted that the splitter in the box was rated 5-1000Mhz. at the point of entry from the ISP to prevent data flowing off residence so to speak. This set-up did not work and upon research, realised the filter needed to be on the outside of the home network, i.e. The second MoCA adapter was connected to coax on the upper level. ![]() Initially I connected the coax to the first MoCA adapter on the main level by coax, with the filter attached, then ethernet to the NetGear M/R. The two MoCA adapters I am using are Actiontec ECB6250K02 MoCa 2.5 network adapters. I did note there was a coax filter/POE filer attached to the coax coming from the wall. This was originally plugged into the coax on the Main level and internet connectivity both wireless and wired was fine. I have a Netgear Nighthawk C7000 modem/router (DOCSIS 3.0 if that matters). The cable for the Upper level runs external to the house before entering. The three 'outbound' coax cables then go to the respective levels of the house, giving an access point on every level. There is the 'inbound' coax from the ISP when feeds into an Extreme branded 3-way splitter. The cable box is outside the lower level and as you can see in the attached picture, is a bit of a mess. ![]() The reason for this is to enjoy a faster connection without any WIFI interference. and then run a basic MoCA setup allowing a wired/ethernet connection on the upper level to my desktop. ![]() My intent is to have my modem/router connected on the Main level and run Wi-Fi (which I currently do) for handheld devices, streaming etc. In my very rough diagram I have labeled the levels Lower, Main and Upper. I recently moved into a rental property, a three storey townhouse. I have not contacted any manufacturer and will do so if no solution can be found here in the forums. I have tried Googling/searching for an answer and followed some advice I have come across but it doesn't seem to be working. I am seeking advice/help on getting my home MoCA network operating. ![]()
