Hi!

I would like to know if it is possible to capture MoCA data traffic using FIOS?

I am doing my undergraduate project about MoCA networks and I need to be able to “sniff” data being sent over the coax. Anybody know if is there an option for debug mode with this router?

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards

Andre

My Xbox works perfect and I think you may have had an isolated issue… Call Verizon they usually come out the same day or the next morning. When I had cable it was minimum 3 to 4 days

It’s your computer or this switch your on…. Try downloading the Fios optimizer… Also find me a provider that can even come close to delivering that speed? IT guys swear by Fios and have told me it is really a network ahead like the commercial says

I’m pretty excited that the new Hopper will be using MoCA. It seems like the perfect solution to the difficulties of getting an HD signal to travel a good distance through a house without it degrading. And it being relatively easy for the installers to work with is a nice bonus too. I can’t even express how psyched I was when DISH unveiled the Hopper. Being a long time subscriber, and more recently an employee as well, of DISH, it’s the only thing I felt like this company was missing. And what a way to do it, with that massive hard-drive and the PrimeTime Anytime feature (that I expect to resolve virtually all of my scheduling conflicts), I simply cannot wait to get one in my home. Especially since this is going to give me a great excuse to get a fourth HD set to put out in the garage by my workbench!

I am lucky that I observed this web blog, precisely the right information that I was looking for!

Max network speed for both networks should be the same 170 Mbps MAC rate and also have the same max cable length. The MoCA topology is a mesh network so all devices talk to all other devices. You don’t necessarily need a router in the middle but for most IP addressable devices, some sort of DHCP server is required in one of the devices.

Depends on how far the cable runs are between the splitter and the different apartments, but if the setup just looks like a large house then it might work. Usually if each apt has it’s own cable TV billing then the “main splitter” won’t be able to pass MoCA signals. The cableco or occupant might also install POE filters to prevent MoCA signals from going between apts.

sorry to make a silly question… but the coax installed by a cable tv company in an apartment building goes all the way to the rooftop where the main splitter is installed, then individual coax runs are made to each apartment..

So what prevents my MOCA signal from also going to the neighrbors´ and the whole building?

To spin this in another way.. does this mean I can get a full-speed point-to-point link between two different apartments in the same building by using the existing wiring provided by the cable co?.

Besides the different frequencies, It´d be helpful if you could tell us the maximum network speed using DECA vs MOCA, and also the maximum cable run (apparently DECA has been thought for existing, indoor runs of coax cable, while I read somewhere that MOCA supports cable lenghts of up to 600 meters. Can DECA match that? INQuiring minds want to know.

Also, is it possible to use two DECA units for point-to-point networking, without a DECA router in the middle? in other words, are two deca units able to talk to each other, or is the topology a star, ie, deca units only talk to a deca router?.

Thanks.
