Such amps are simply designed to ensure that, like in a “designed for MoCA” passive splitter, MoCA signals can pass with less loss between all output ports, including the non-amp’d/passive output port.īut … one aspect of a “designed for MoCA” amp would actually be problematic for the OP: these amps typically include a built-in “PoE” MoCA filter, blocking MoCA communication between the input port and all outputs. They are pricey, but they work really well, and your signal loss on the coax is significantly reduced.Ī “designed for MoCA” powered splitter (amp) wouldn’t offer any benefit for the OP over “designed for MoCA 2.x” passive splitters, since the only signal boosted by such an amp is the sub-MoCA cable range, typically up through 1002 MHz. If you can stomach the price, use a powered MoCA capable splitter.

They are pricey, but they work really well, and your signal loss on the coax is significantly reduced. Make sure you check what frequencies are being used by your MoCA adapters, and what frequencies are supported by your splitters.

As for all of those MoCA adapters, you might want to use the Flex Mini 5 port switches there if you have more devices to be connected via ethernet. You might want to go with the PoE+ version just in case you want to use the one PoE port on the switch as well. That is a minor issue since the MoCA network provided great throughput.Īs for the U6-IW-US's they will need to have PoE injectors between the MoCA adapter and the AP. I finaly bit the bullet and provided a dedicated MoCA line to one of those and now my Topology is good. I had multiple managed switches and they pointed to each other rather than back to the router's port as the uplink. As expected r/plooger piped in and explained it much better than I could.ītw, don''t expect the "Topology" to be very accurate with the MoCA network. I think the only time that you get 2.5mbps with those adapters is when you have a dedicated line between 2 of them. Looks good to me! I have lots of coax in my house and have 4 MoCA adapters.
