im trying to expand my home internet network with moca. is POE filter the only one i need? do i need a filter for my cable modem so theres no interfe

I had the cable company (Time Warner) come out and he installed a POE on the main line into my home AND one on that line going into the cable modem. The difference is like day and night. Prior to the POEs Tivo Mini boxes were losing the signal with frustrating regularity. With the filters, the problem has been 98% resolved. They make a huge difference in signal strength.

Check out the white paper on MoCa. This will answer your questions about the technology. http://www.moca4installers.com/pdf/FINAL_MoCA_CI-SI_White_Paper.pdf

It's advisable to use 2 of these filters. One before the modem and one on the main cable input. This is how time warner does it in nyc. If you are using moca adapters to get Ethernet over the coax and use one moca adapter on each end of the coax then the filters are not necessary, but cannot hurt. The moca adapters themselves have filters when used in pairs on a single coax cable. It would all depend on how the moca is being used.

I'm experienced somewhat using MOCA for TIVO box networking. In this case, the POE filter goes between the cable service entering the home and the splitter which divides the cable to the various TIVO boxes. (The splitter by the way needs to be a 3ghz capable splitter, not just 1ghz, because MOCA operates above 1ghz) The function of the POE filter is to keep the MOCA networking activity from the TIVO boxes from exiting the house and polluting the cable signal outside your home. (Your cable modem/router will simply be supplied off the splitter, just like the TIVO boxes)

I believe that all you need is one Point-Of-Eentry filter for your cable line as it enters the home. That is the way my system is set up to provide security to the home network. However, others have responded differently. Best of Luck.

Should only need the 1. Just be sure to add it to the line coming in to the house at the cable box.

I put a MOCA filter where my main cable line comes into the first splitter to advance cable, that has been all I needed, you will need to make sure the line to your modem/router is on the first splitter for best results.

No, it's a POE injector, you plug in a cable on the LAN side from a switch and then plug in your device on the POE side, it basically just adds voltage to a switch that isn't POE. It's been running fine for me I use it with a home router and run 3 cameras right now. Once I get more cameras I will probably get an actual POE switch.

the 200 ma rating is correct however I wouldn't go that route since that is just an extra cable you need to pull in addition to the ethernet cable. I would look into buying a POE injector for $20.00 and save yourself sometime.

Yes, if you don't want to buy filters to put around your house, just make sure your router has the DOCSIS 3.0 Firmware like the Motorola Surfboard Extreme SBG6782-AC DOCSIS 3.0, it has all in 1 device, it's pricey I'm not gonna lie to you, but it's a one time and there you are done, you can put as many MoCA adapters you want around your house, I have this device in my Living room and 3 one port in my rooms to stream my Roku boxes and it works great, grant it I have TWC 100mbps internet so your internet speed has to be good so you can stream with no lag.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. Many devices plugged into the switch, switch plugged into the MoCA adapter. On the other end is another MoCA adapter plugged into the router.

I have non POE cameras so I had to purchase POE converter boxes so that I could hook network and power to my existing cameras. However, if the camera is built for POE.....plug and play. I have all 4 POE ports powering 3 security cameras with POE splitters and one POE access point. I have not had to touch the switch for months. Exactly what I wanted and once again, TrendNet delivered at a fraction of the cost!

It is not the purpose of these devices to provide POE. Their sole purpose is to provide a power-line Ethernet extension that is more reliable than wireless and reaches locations wireless adapters can't.

It shouldn't cause any problems. The main thing is to isolate your MoCA network from the outside world. If you have internet phone service, you may want to use a two output splitter, one output going to your modem, the other going to the POE filter and then to your MoCA network.

I use mine with the wall outlet adapter. I do not believe that this device even supports POE.

i will tell you just one of the things... there are many. Pro uses standard POE so you can plug it into your POE Switch. the non-Pro you need the brick it is shipped with.

This will do your routing and your LAN (your home part of your network), but you'll still need a cable modem. I just picked up a DOCSIS3 Motorola unit from Amazon, so I didn't have to rent anything from my cable/internet provider. They pay for themselves after a few months, so it's a worthwhile investment. This is the one I got: ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Retail Packaging - Bllack Good luck with whichever route you decide to go!

Am not sure about ATT Uverse. I used mine to split off to a wireless router for whole house TIVO system. I haf no need for the MOCA splitter I purchased after using the Actiontec.

I used this to do a MoCa network for my Tivo. I tried to upgrade my splitters to 2GHZ Monster splitters and I started to have my internet modem drop out every so often. I use Comcast, A Comcast tech came out and said 2GHZ was not needed so he replaced both of them with there own 1000 MHZ splitters. It has only been about a week and a half and no drops so far. The connection does include the same POE Filter both times. As far as the MoCa networking signal I have had no problems when the modem has been up and have had a great signal with no pixellating or judders in watching tv shows from one Tivo to another Tivo in a different room.

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

You need one of these on each end, unless you have a modem/router than has a built in output. The one we have from Uverse does, so we only need it on the far end. You should use RG-6 coax. Ours is in the house, so I can tell you anything about burial depth. The units simply act as a long ethernet cable, extending the range of your wired network.

Hi Douglas, according to Cisco's website the which supports POE - http://products.mcisco.com/cisco/pub/web/!ut/p/c5/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gzT3czQ39nA0sLb3MLA093D6cAXxcjYwtnM6B8JE55Ay8jArrDQfbhVOHuZI5X3sDLlIC8EUTeAAdwNND388jPTdUvyI0wyPTUdQQABtDRNw!!/dl3/d3/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/. I hope that link helps.

This filter is used when you're using your coax cable plant that is generally installed when the premises is built - it's the same wires one would connect to for their cable TV or cable modem. What MoCA does is allows a 'traditional' ethernet to ride on the same wires as the cable modem and cable TV service - it uses a higher frequency, so it does not interfere with cable services from your provider. The reason you want a filter with MoCA is that you do not want those frequencies to travel outside your home - say for example a neighbor installed a MoCA adapter, without this filter blocking those frequencies from leaving your premises, your neighbors would be able to send and receive traffic on your network. If you have the ability to use Cat5 ethernet, I'd suggest doing that. The problem MoCA solves is that most homes have a coax cable plant already running through the walls and typically to each room. Watching video wirelessly (wifi) is typically unreliable, with pauses and lost connections. But running a Cat5 cable to every room can be a pain, and having a Cat5 cable running across the floor is even worse. MoCA gives you the ability to run with an existing cable plant, and offers better throughput and a better experience than if you used WiFI adapters with your Tivos.
