my TIVO Romio Pro is on 1st floor & my router is on the 2nd floor.Do I connect this to cable by my TIVO on 1st floor...or by the router on 2nd floor?

This device goes with the router to put the multimedia signal on the coax. That said, my router is in the basement and the TiVo is main floor. Also, I don't believe you need tis device unless you are using TiVo Mini, which I have in addition to my Roamio.

There should be a pair of units. The unit with only one Ethernet input should be with the router. The unit with multiple Ethernet inputs should be with the Roamio.

The problem with the ecb2500c is that the Ethernet link is only 10/100 mbs making it impossible to get the full 170 mrs data rate. This device is the only gigabit moca adapter I've seen. While it is overkill to attach such a unit to the router in creating the moca loop, I haven't been able to see an alternative. Using the 2500c for the moca loop at the router will limit your entire moca network. The Roamio pro has its own built in moca adapter so there is no need for one there.

You would connect this to any live coaxial cable. So if you have a tv on your first floor and a cable box, use the provided splitter to connect it, then plug the tivo Into it.

you don't actually need it for your cablework with either Roamio. I strongly suggrst that you call Tiiiivo and ma ke sure the Roamio works with your cable system and then talk to them about using the actiontec MOCA. some cable and satellite systems wont work with Roamio.

I put it on my fios router, it didn't really help though, I thought it would be over kill, my router is in my basement, I can't tell any difference up stairs

My TIVO Series 2 unit uses a straight dial out for updates. It is faster if you have a wireless router, you have to use the wireless adapter from TIVO because the manufacturer of look-a-like units use a different chip set and will not work. I know this because I tried to use an off-the-shelf unit with bad results. I have not tried to connect via ethernet cable for DSL.

depends if it is a reverse SMA connector. I have no idea what kind of FIOS router you are using. FIOS is not a brand name for the hardware. FIOS is the name of the service.

You don't with Verizon. You have a dedicated fiber supplying your service, so your moca network can't interfere with anyone else's service over their network. I assume you have a moca network between your TiVo and a Mini, is that correct? I'm jealous. I used to work for Verizon FiOS in tech support, and all we have is Time-Warner in Hawaii. FiOS is amazing.

I kept my Tivo's when I upgraded. I have 3 running at the same time, each in a different room in the house. I can access one from the other, and transfer shows between them but each unit needs to have its own cable card. I hope this helps

So long as the cable run is short. I have a pretty long cable run... and adding a splitter wasn't great for the signal. (Basement to third floor.)

I'll be honest --- I have tried the Wireless G and Wireless N Adapters and have concluded that neither works perfect. The Wireless G works better than the N --- but, if your TiVo is "too far" away from your router, neither works that good. I no longer use the Wireless N Adapter at all -- it was terrible -- I am using a Dual Band Network Repeater, but even with that device I still have connection problems when trying to watch a program on another DVR. If I had the option, I would run CAT-5 wire to every location and hard wire my TiVos. The Wireless N Adapter that is in use and works well is closer to the Router but is not in direct line of sight --- so my conclusion is the problem is distance and possibly "interference" with other devices.

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

It's been a while since I set it up, but it should connect to another router in Bridge Mode. Download the manual from the TP-LINK website to check for yourself.

I don't think Mini is spec'd to work over wireless - not enough bandwidth. You will need either a wired Ethernet connection or MOCA adapters - if your other TIVO is Roamio, you have built-in MOCA adapter in both boxes (Roamio and Mini), so if are able to put cable connection to Mini, then just enable MOCA in the TIVO menus, and they should find each other. I would recommend a MOCA filter on the main Cable feed to your home, so that you can avoid interference / signal leakage into the cable system from your network traffic.... I put a Mini in a 2nd room and it works with Roamio tested with both MOCA and with hardwired Ethernet (I have Gb internet throughout home), and it works fine with either interface.

You would need to hook the composite box 1st then the tivo box if it has the connections, however you may lose some picture quality when finally connecting the tivo to the hd tv. The signal from a cable line is only strongest with the 1st device it is connected too from my experience.

I never try to connect my router to the power line adaptor but the principal is the same. This device is like an extension from your cable modem physical ports. You can connect anything on one of this devices if the other is connected to a modem my only concer is the lost of speed. This is not perfect. I got 50Mb services and i only get half os the speed on my TV, the distance and interferences has to do with this. Good luck.

Not sure. I used this item to be able to hook my PS3 and MacMini computer to the internet after I cancelled my ATT uverse cable tv and returned the cable tv boxes ( keeping the ATT internet). You plug the device into your cable tv cable (in place of the cable tv box) and then you plug your ethernet equipped devices (your Tivo has an ethernet port?) into this device and you are good to go.

I route my TiVo through it to my TV. No signal when I turn off recorder. However, I also split the signal from my TiVo so I can still watch cable with recorder turned off. Should apply to DirecTV., too.
