I am looking to overhaul my home network. Patiently waiting for the MA2500D.
In the mean time, I am looking to purchase a modem. My current comcast router/modem combo supports MoCA, but I am looking to buy all new gear. Currently looking at Arris Surfboard SB8200, will I have any issues with it?
I will probably have future questions about setup, but I currently have a MoCA filter going into a two-way splitter. Off of the two way splitter is 2 3-way splitters with each run going to a room in the house. I will eventually draw up a picture for better insight.
SB8200 has upper frequency 1218MHz. It will have interference with MoCA.
We prefer you to use a Cable Modem with 1002MHz.
You can check the right modems in this link

Check the 'DS Freq Range' column.
Can I just set the gocoax device to use channels above 1218MHz?
@larkym That should work. You can set your MoCA to D-High around 1400MHz or even higher.
Also, the OP, do not use Point of Entry (MoCA) filters. Many of the filters have reject frequency under 1200MHz, which would filter out the broadband signal. If you need to protect your MoCA network, use MoCA privacy instead.
@J. C. I am unsure of how to tell the type of filter. It was put on by Comcast.
I have an Arris sb6183. It has been solid for a couple years. The sb8200 is a good modem. It has Docsis 3.1, but many ISP’s don’t support it. The Arris s33 is interesting, but I have read about some issues with overheating. I always have a fan on my modem to keep it cool. I would do the same with the sb8200. Just stay away from the sb6190. It has a chipset with latency issues.
Hey! Thanks for pointing me to the s33. I had not discovered that yet.
