MOCA set-up

My setup is as follows: The coax cabling goes from the ONT to a fourway splitter. One output goes to the MI424WR (Rev. I) and the rest to other outlets throughout the…

Actiontec router does not support wireless range extender - so how to extend range?
I called Verizon to see if they sold or could recommend range extender for my Verizon Actiontec MI424WR Rev. F router. Was transferred (by mistake) to Actiontec tech rep.

New install with MoCA 2.0 devices - Actiontec ECB2500C (1.1 protocol) causing issues
Just had the service installed earlier today. Apparently my hardware is the new stuff that's running MoCA 2.0 as opposed to the older 1.0/1.1 verison. Prior to the FiOS install I was happily using the popular ECB2500C bridge to connect various devices on my LAN. During the install the tech seemed confident the bridge would…

My FIOS installation has the ONT connected to one coax run into the house, to which an Actiontec router is plugged. I assume this is acting as the network controller for the moca…
