MoCA Network Setup | Ethernet over TV cable

anyone here got 2.0.16 firmware or the latest? official gocoax site only got 2.0.14 for ma2500d device as latest

Hi I want to use my coaxial cables (HDB is about 28 years old). I did some research and know I might have to change the splitter that connects the main coaxial cable to other rooms. However I think the box is located in the riser and I checked with netlink but they wont allow it to be opened. How else do I check if the splitter is appropriate for use (researched online, it needs 5-1675Hz at least). Or is the splitter even required to change?

I looked into using FAC252 MoCA Adapters, which seems to support 5-1000HZ splitters. Only concern is not having a PoE to prevent data from leaking.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

IMHO.
I just plug and use.

I can answer the second part. You should be configuring encryption between your MoCA adapters. Then your data won’t leak if your neighbor eavesdrops on the coax cable.

KiweeBroadband makes MoCA 2.5 adapters (model KB-M3-02E — the final E is important) that use the Extended E band (400 to 900 MHz). These aren’t really MoCA 2.5 standard since it’s the “wrong” frequency range, and they won’t work with standard adapters. But if you’re concerned about filtering between rooms, you could try them. Amazon.com (U.S.) sells them for about US$120 per pair. With ezShip and GST they’re still rather reasonable. In practice the coax cable runs are typically short in HDB flats, so even if you’re crossing a 1000 MHz splitter you’re probably fine.

Thanks both! Thanks for the link as well.
