Open for help, please!
So I seem to be having an issue with my WF-803M.
Current setup: ONT>WF-803M>Meshforce M3s
I plug my coax into the adapter, and the MoCA light wont turn on. My splitters are all MoCA supported as I've been running MoCA devices on them for a long time. Also confirmed that they're all supporting MoCA. My MoCA light wont come on at all. I'm not sure as to why. I've even gone into the settings (after I got fed up with it not working) and changed the static settings to "dynamic settings" for the IP and such. I am a Verizon FiOS customer. I contacted FiOS and they said that the best they could do is charge me a lot of money to run ethernet from the ONT to the router location, but I told them that was why I DIDN'T contact them, and went for a more cost efficient remedy.
For an even better idea: Once I did make that change to "dynamic settings" in the local IP and the MoCA light is blinking. Still not getting internet from it.
Thanks for the response. I’ve ended up returning to GoCOAX system. As I have an older system of Coax, being 1.something, according to FiOS, I can still push desired speeds of 200 mbps in my parents house, with the current system, when I purchase their “version” of GoCOAX, for about $5 cheaper. They tried to charge me $150 for someone to come out to install a new ONT, but if I could opt to do it myself (as they do), I believe I may be interested in GoCOAX at a later date. Thanks again!
The issue is that the old ONT doesn't support the MoCA spec of retail MoCA adapters. If you've been told that a MI424-WR or G1100 router would work, then you might look into grabbing an Arris MEB1100 adapter off eBay, as the MEB1100 supports the MoCA 1.1 Band C (channel C4) connection of the ONT. The caveat is that the MEB1100 is MoCA 1.1 and so only supports up to 150 Mbps throughput.
If the throughput of the ONT's built-in MoCA WAN is insufficient, and If the ONT supports Ethernet WAN, then you could use a pair of retail MoCA adapters for your WAN link between the ONT and router, but doing so can pose additional hurdles if also looking to use MoCA for LAN connectivity.
Still need any assistance with this?
Looks like your ONT has built-in MoCA, am I right？
Could you share the model number of your ONT?
