    WF-803M low link rates

    in Everything for MoCA

    I am new to the life of MoCa. I'm trying to trouble shoot why my MoCa link rates are so low compared to everyone else that I've seen:



    Through a painstaking process, I found the only way I could even get them to talk to one another was to disable the "D-Ext" box and then in the security tab, I enabled and changed the password:





    The house was build in 2000 and all the wires from what I can see are in good shape. What can I do to increase those link rate number? 😭

    RESOLVED:


    I'm not really sure how this fixed it but it is fixed. After working with Support, here are the steps that they sent to me that I took:


    "Step 1,

    Select two MoCA adapters, connect them directly with a short coaxial cable. Power up them, check the link rate.

    Hope we can get about 3500Mbps.

    Step 2,

    If Step 1 is OK. Please connect the two MoCA adapters to the 2-way splitter with short coaxial cables. Please don’t use the in wall coaxial cables. Just use short coaxial cables. Power up them, check the link rate. If the link rate is OK, that means the 2-way splitter is good.

    Step 3,

    If Step 1 is OK. Please connect the two MoCA adapters to the 6-way splitter with short coaxial cables. Please don’t use the in wall coaxial cables. Just use short coaxial cables. Power up them, check the link rate. If the link rate is OK, change to other output ports and check again. If all ports has the correct link rate, that means the 6-way splitter is good."


    When I took these steps, I was getting 3500+Mbps. I then hooked everything up the EXACT same way I got it (same cables and everything) and now I have the 3500ish Mbps





    Not sure how this fixed it but at this point, I will just call it magic and move along. 😁

    Could you check the model number of the splitter? Normally it should be MoCA compatible. Can cover 1125-1675MHz. If not, please exchange it.

    I have this one connected where the PoE is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113JAN8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    The modem is connected to that and then splits off to this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M34OZ2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    I only use 5 of those ports and have capped the unused ones with 75 Ohm terminators. I thought Bamf was a good brand?
