![]() ![]() It’s easy enough to plug the adapter straight into the wall, versus a power strip, but I have a whole-house surge suppressor installed in my circuit-breaker panel. One of the other drawbacks of powerline adapters is that they shouldn’t be plugged into a surge suppressor (the surge suppressor will identify data traveling over the powerline as noise and try to filter it out). It’s based on the latest HomePlug AV2 MIMO technology. Keep the POE filters to a minimum, as they have a fair amount of loss, which can impact both TV and Broadband quality.ZyXel’s PLA5405 is one of the fastest HomePlug adapters on the market. The STB and DVR, if they and in/out jacks are passive taps, so little if any signal loss on the RF side. And the IP pipe, protected by the Airport, piped back into the cable run, will be picked up by the ActionTec Extender.Īlso consider that each 2 way split is a 3dB loss in signal, so if location allows, maybe consolidate them into a 3 way perhaps. You're protected from WAN trying to enter in by both the OSI stack, and that the LAN is non-routable to the public internet, and you still get benefits from the SPI firewall in the Airport Extreme. Then from the Arris CM - connect the Airport to it, and run ethernet back to the Injector. Wall - Injector - splitter - to SamsungDVR - CiscoSTB - ActionTec Extender - LAN-Wifi this assumes that the DVR and STB has In/Out (most do) You can leave the AP behind the Arris modem, and push ethernet back into injector. Runs on different frequencies than DOCSIS, so it should not impact the STB's in the slightest. ![]() Have you considered putting the MOCA injector after the POE filter and before the first splitter? Unless one of the parts is defective or something. I was sure this setup would also work, and if it works sometimes, it is confusing why it would keep dropping the connection to the Extender. Ideally I would put the adapter in front of the wall right after the PoE filter there, but then it's very far from the router so it doesn't work. Thanks for the 2nd PoE filter, it was actually the cable company that put that there in-front of the cable modem (maybe to prevent interference? They installed that when they installed the 2nd STB but that was before I added the adapter and extender.) I have tried with and without it, and it does not really seem to make a difference. The cable modem and router don't get affected and don't drop their connections. Basically when that happens, the extender starts assigning internal ip's instead and I guess it loses the connection with the adapter. No just the extender and anything connected to it's wireless network - and also the MoCa adapter green light for "CoAx" goes off. Also if you are wondering why the adapter has the coax in cable going to the STB and the TO TV going to the splitter, well it's because when I try the opposite the MoCa signal never turns solid green or get a connection, it's only when I inverted them did it work. The Set top boxes always work, its the internet that goes in and out. Its just that the signal gets weak in the bedroom so figured I would try to extend it using MoCa Before connecting the Actiontec extender, the Internet never ever cut out and was very reliable with consistent speed of 65mb/s down and 10mb/s up. When it works its not bad, but it stops ever 20 minutes or so for around 5 minutes. The MoCa Coax light on the adapter goes green for a while but then starts to go on and off dropping the network and internet connection also. I have setup a wireless extender using the actiontec adapter.
