The only thing that needs a PC is the configuration utility CD which is only used rarely to change any of the default settings or update the device firmware. Most users will never need to do this.

I’ve hooked up Macs, PCs, Tivo, Slingbox, Roku, router, cable modem, etc… to MoCA and never had a problem. The only thing I can recommend is getting an additional cheap switch with a lot of ports, 5 or 8 is good, so you can plug a lot of things into your MoCA network. No matter how many ports I have, I always seem to run out. Check out the blog post on network switch if you want more info.

Enjoy your MoCA!

The problem is that we are a Mac based household and the folks I’ve been speaking to either have never heard of Moca, or have heard of it, but don’t know if it will play nicely with Macs.
I know in theory the technology will work with Macs, but are any of the retail boxes out now compatible? Can I just go out and buy a pair of NetGear MoCa boxes, hook up my Tivo, Slingbox and Mac Media Server and have it just work?
Does anyone out there have experience networking Macs using Moca?
Any help would be appreciated, – kika
