I've currently been attempting to install some goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapters for about 2 hours now and so far I have not been able to make any progress on getting the MoCA LED to flash. I do not own a MoCA compatible modem so I am using a GE Digital 2.5Ghz 2-Way Coax Splitter in order to get a connection from my wall out to my modem and adapter as well plugging in a ethernet cable from the adapter in to my router. I have been trying to troubleshoot online with this setup but so far I have not been able to come to a conclusive answer other than my splitter not being MoCA compatible but I am unsure how to tell if it is compatible or not . I have also tested my two adapters too see if they were defective and they both establish a connection quickly so I don't think it could be defective. I am not very knowledgeable with networks and how they work as usually I'd have my ISP come out and look at this stuff but I thought it shouldn't be too hard plugging in some things in and I have turned this forum as a last resort.

Ensure that all your MoCA devices—such as adapters, cable modems, splitters, and extenders—are correctly hooked up for optimal performance. slope game
Make sure that all MoCA devices (MoCA adapters, cable modems, MoCA splitters, and any extenders) are connected properly. Check the cables and make sure they are plugged in tightly. slither io

A simple test of the coax ports in each room involves, when you can afford an Internet outage, connecting the cable modem to each outlet to see if the modem is able to establish a connection with the provider. If not, it's an indication that the coax outlet is not connected to the incoming cable feed -- and so is not connected via coax to the main modem location, precluding a MoCA connection between the rooms.
You'll then need to locate the central coax junction for the home and (hopefully) find the disconnected coax lines. Identifying the lines can also be accomplished using the modem: connect the modem in a given room and try each of the coax lines connected to the incoming cable feed until the modem establishes a connection. Label that line, move the modem, and repeat ... until you've identified all the lines or at least the ones needed.
Step 1 would be a direct-connect test between the adapters, "MoCA" port to "MoCA" port. The "MoCA" status LED should light up once they're both powered-on.
Step 2 would be doing the same thing, but connecting the adapters via that GE splitter. (And, no, that splitter is not "designed for MoCA." I'd recommend any of the following: Antronix MMC1000 series, Holland GHS-PRO-M line, Amphenol's ABS310 series, or Starburst or Verizon MoCA 2.0 splitters.)
