Hi,
I have successfully managed to install 2 moCA adapter in my house, one in the kitchen near the router and another in the master bedroom.
These two work well and I can get internet connection in the bedroom.
I got another adapter for another room and the moCA light comes on but I can see only the adapter from the master bedroom and not the one in the kitchen( tested by assigning each adapter a static address and pinging each one from a laptop connected via ethernet to the adapter).
What could be the problem? If I disconnect the master bedroom adapter and leave only the kitchen and other room on I get no moCA light
It sounds like the issue could be related to how your coax network is split. If the adapters in the kitchen and the other room can’t see each other when the master bedroom adapter is removed, that suggests your coax lines might not all be on the same path. Sometimes certain splitters in the house block MoCA signals unless they’re MoCA-compatible. I’d recommend checking your splitters and making sure they’re rated for MoCA, and also ensuring there’s no point-of-entry filter interfering with the connection.
It kind of reminds me of how important setup and location are in other areas too—for example, when students look for student accommodation in Sydney, the choice of place can either make life smooth or cause a lot of issues later on. Getting the basics right at the start saves a ton of frustration down the road.
