I found that in my home the best way to get a working MoCA network without degrading my internet/wifi was to split the cable going to the modem and adapter, instead of looping the two. I had a 2-way splitter (5-1000Mhz) with one line going to my cable modem and the other going to my MoCA adapter, then both the adapter and modem connected to the router via ethernet cable. This gave me a perfectly-working MoCA network that ran my Roamio Plus and 2 minis located throughout the house (I also placed a PoE filter on the line coming into the house, if that matters).
Of course I went and screwed it up. . . the 2 way splitter wasn't enough, as there is a TV (no Tivo) in the same room as the modem/adapter, so I went and bought a 4-way (5-3000Mhz) - they didn't have a 3-way. I used one port to go to the TV, hooked up the modem and adapter the same way as before and put a 75ohm terminator on the unused port.
To my surprise, the Roamio and one mini work fine, but the other mini no longer has a network connection. I've tried all kinds of mini network settings, but it does not detect the MoCA network. I guess the most likely culprit is the 3Ghz splitter, but why would it be an issue for one mini and not the Roamio or other mini? Tonight I will put the 2-way back on to test it. The only other thing I can think of is that there is something wrong with the coax going to the problem mini. I feel like the cable box that was there before the mini would sometimes lose signal when the rest of the house was fine, but I always chalked that up to a crappy cable box. However, even if the line has a problem, it was working fine before I used the new splitter.
Thoughts?
