Bro alvinym, can take pic of the Starhub POE at the riser (which U asked them to come down and open up) ? cos I'm in the same predicament, can't find the inside-house POE
I have some questions that I need help with.
- Am I right to say that I should be attaching the POE filter onto the "In" port on the splitter?
- If I am not going to watch cable, would it be the same if I just un-screwed the coaxial from the "In" port? That way I would not have to worry about attaching the POE filter.
Sorry for being a noob at this. Still trying my best to learn from all the info here!
I didnt manage to take a pic when the technician installed as I was inside the unit verifying the tv to ensure the correct cable. Though it is similar to candrox's pic (just newer and bigger splitter).
Though my scv box looks like below:
Hey, no worries on being a noob, we all learn together
- Yes, that's correct. Do refer to the blog link (found on TS first post as well) and pic in my earlier post.
- Hmmm, good question. Now i am curious to find out too.
I might be wrong, but the cheapest option I could think of, for the IN port, replace the main input cable with the cable where MoCA input will be attached to (I mean the moca adapter which will be connected to the router).
Alternatively, downsizing the splitter or terminating the unused port with a specific terminator cap may help to recover some signal lost.
Update: A quick read mentioned that terminator cap would minimise ghosting but not the signal lost, as the signal had gone through the splitter.
Come to think of it, I could replace my unit's second splitter with a connector but since i am not experiencing any major dropouts, i shall leave it untouched. lol
Wow thanks for the quick reply! Yup, seems like the terminator cap is pretty important. I will do my testing on my side. I'm pretty certain I don't want cable TV, so removing the coaxial from the "In" point makes sense to me. Keep the signal contained within my house.
Possible to buy the POE filter in SG (locally) ?
If your coax cable is physically connected to the Starhub network then -> YES!I have discontinued my starhub cable tv for a long time do I still need to install a POE filter? Thanks
Would MoCA setup work for transmitting Starhub's Fibre IPTV signals across coax?
Starhub is phasing out Coax Cable TV and moving towards Fibre IPTV, that leaves my coax structure redundant and ethernet ports in shortage. Apparently the TV and Internet signals are transmuted from separate ports of the fibre modem, so I was hoping that I can use MoCA to route IPTV signals across.
Any insights much appreciated!
Bite the bullet and bought 1 set of Actiontec MoCA ECB6200 from Amazon PrimeSG
Setup and tested, max speed only abt 375~420Mbps.
Thought is my home cabling that is causing the issue. Disconnect everything and troubleshoot:
PC => CAT6 ethernet cable => ECB6200 => provided coaxial cable => ECB6200 => CAT6 ethernet cable => laptop (speed obtained is usually 375~420 Mbps)
PC ==> CAT6 ethernet cable ==> ethernet cable joint ==> CAT6 ethernet cable ==> laptop (speed obtained is around 900 Mbps)
PC ==> CAT6 ethernet cable ==> laptop (speed obtained is around 900 Mbps)
I've also tried replacing the "provided coaxial cable" but it doesn't help.
With the above tests conducted, I believed that I have eliminate PC, laptops and ethernet cables as factors that influence the test results. Therefore what is left unchanged are only the ECB6200 units and power adapters.
I've also went into the unit's configuration page as per 1st post (192.168.144.30) and saw that the firmware is quite up-to-date (version 11.1.50.6200.7) therefore I'm really running out of ideas on how to solve this issue besides returning them/RMA-ing.
Anyone has any bright ideas ? OR I super-duper unlucky, just received a lemon set ?
What is the attenuation or signal strength?
What is the frequency set?
RF Channel : 1150
Band : Band D Extended
Are these the info. U are looking for ? If not, please kindly point me to where to get those info., Thanks alot.
