Greeting all.
I would like your advice on this. I've just moved to a house with coax cabling but no ethernet anywhere.
So I have already ordered 2 pcs WF-803M devices waiting for the arrival here in Denmark in a few days.
The coax connection from the street (the cable provider) terminates in the garage from where 3 coax "strings" runs around the house. This is an old style cabling where several TV wall plugs are kinda daisy chained on the same string - not placed in a star topology.
Since I do not use the TV signal at all from the cable provider, I wanted to connect the 3 strings in the garage to form a single coax "backbone" so I can connect MoCA adapters on any TV wall plugs (effectively turning them into ethernet LAN) and have them all see each other.
My question is: How do I best connect these three coax strings in the Garage? Is it as simple as connecting them to the "out"-ports of a 3-way splitter, leaving the "in"-port empty?
Any comments or advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Henrik
Henrik,
Any Coax splitter rated over 1050MHz should work. MoCA does not care about IN or OUT ports. As long as all MoCA nodes are connected in a parallel fashion, they should be able to "elect "a network coordinator and communicate with each other. MoCA supports 16 nodes in total per channel. You can have multiple channels on the same coax wire. For example, a D1-band at 1150MHz, a D2-band at 1200MHz.
ploog,
Amphenol Broadband Solutions is one of Verizon's current MoCA splitter manufacturer. If you are a Verizon customer, an installation tech can bring you Amphenol MoCA splitters up to 8-ways free of charge. Customers can get free 2-way splitters from Verizon store too.
