MoCA Network Setup | Ethernet over TV cable

[Apparatus]

my screenbeam came earlier than as expected. tested direct connection and it works. thanks all.

Where you bought it locally? If buy from US amazon does it support local 220 -240V and 50Hz?

Thanks

Hi
I just bought the ASUS MA-25 MoCA 2.5 but failed to connect.......so cannot access the net
Only 2 SCV points in my HDB unit. One in the hall and the other in the master room
After setting them up I get the power and Ethernet lights on but the MoCA lights failed to turn on. I even opened the SCV boxes and connect the coaxial cables directly (bypassing the splitter) to the ASUS MA-25 but result still no MoCA connection light. This is to ensure that there's no compatibility issue between the SCV cables and the provided coaxial cables.
The adapters were tested ok when I connected them together earlier using one of the provided coaxial cable and the download speed was 703Mbps for a 1Gbps broadband
Any help?
Speed test with 2 adapters side by side with provided coaxial cable

Side by side testing and all 3 light were on strongly. It means the provided cables and the adapters are working fine

there should be an incoming (e.g. previously starhub) signal feeding to your 2 points located within your home.

you need to find out where is that point (maybe outside your unit) and disconnect the incoming cable to your splitter.

Hi

Just did what you said. The incoming is outside my unit. But still no MoCA connection

I think the incoming splitter outside my unit is not working? Need to replace with new and same one?

Please take out all splitter before you do any testing. Not recommend to do with splitter.

Then how to connect the 2 coaxial cables into one outside my house?

As for inside my house I did previously tested with the splitters removed. See post #740

Since there's only 2, you can use a Female To Female Coax Cable Extender. I think...

Where to buy and any special requirement for the extender?

Thanks

I noticed the 2 splitters are different

if you have a laptop with ethernet connection (or via USB dongle) and an extension cord, you can position one unit of MoCA outside your home connected to one of the cable removed from the splitter while the other MoCA unit connected to your room.

if you tried both coaxial cables outside your unit disconnected from the splitter and still cannot establish a connection to the MoCA unit inside your home, means the cable laid maybe an issue.

Yup, that's a good test.

However, I think I'll go with connecting the 2 cables outside my unit with a coupler first. If this don't work means either one or both the coaxial cables is faulty

It seems from reddit below the ASUS MA-2.5 MoCA adapter has the same IP address as the ASUS router. I'm using ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12.





Changing the router IP address might solve my problem

Alternatively, getting a non-ASUS MoCA 2.5 adapter with a different IP address should solve the issue, huh?




EDIT - With the same setup just tested by changing my router's IP address......still no go. Looks like cables issue liao

huh? your connection is wrong leh. lol. of course it wont work. you dont need to touch anything outside your house.

1. find the scv starting point in your house.
2. disconnect main incoming coax cable(the 1 that route from outside your house).
3. connect the coax from your moca adapter to the coax hole that you disconnected in step 2.
4. connect 2nd moca adapter to which scv you wants the ethernet.
5. tada you now have a moca connection.

The attached top photo already shown that I have disconnected the incoming coax cable. The splitter is located outside my HDB unit

no man... which photo? the top or bottom? if bottom is the 1 in your house, then yes your connection seems wrong.

Can i have you try something difrerent?

connect one of the bottom cable to the top single incoming connector...

then you connect both moca adaptors to see if it works?

If this works...

Then you would need to a double sided female coaxial connector to link both bottom coaxial cables together.

Should be connecting the 2 coax cables to my house as one using the purchased female-to-female coax connector below. Just came back from SL Tower

If connect to the top incoming then how to test? Top incoming still got signal meh? Don't know where the top incoming cable goes outside my unit.

Wil do the connection and test once rain stops. Heavy rain now and can hear those lightning siren goes off in the nearby blocks.

Scared tio tian leh

pls wait till Cat 1 is over haha...

In your indoor splitter, connect the bottom 2 coaxial together with this adaptor.

Should be able to work.
