Title: Network issue, possible to use moca adapters?
Post by: VoskCoin on August 01, 2017, 01:30:02 AM
Can I setup actiontec moca adapters to run my coax Ethernet throughout my house to supply internet to normal items ex computer, iPhone etc and have it split also powering my miners?

I have it setup but it's not picking a coax connection no matter what I do

moca networks are tricker to setup.  it's complicated by the fact that where the modem is at, you would have to split it for the moca adapter, which could be detrimental to the modem.   on the other end, unless you don't have a tv in the room where you are putting in the other adapter, you would have to split that too, possibly affecting that.  depending on what kind of tv/data service you have, they might already be using moca for their devices (whole home dvrs, extenders for wifi)  Also, performance is going to be best if you put a moca filter right before the split between all the moca devices.


powerline adapters are easier....just installed a pair today!

Do i need to add anything additional to increase their performance? Yeah as you said I thought moca would be a bit more simple to setup , hopefully powerline adapter is what i anticipated from moca lol

which pair did you use and whyd you choose to use them?

So I finally got around to switching things around and installing (plugging them in lol)

What a breeze to setup,

However my question is are these as rock solid as having an Ethernet connection? I don't want to have a 5 10 20% revenue degradation

In my initial testing it looks similar, too soon to reach a verdict on it
