MoCA Technical Notes

Cang_Household

Dear fellow community members,

The following is some MoCA technical notes.

MoCA is supposed to be backward compatible, but that is not always the case in reality.

The following is a compatibility and performance matrix (work in progress).

Legend

Symbol	Definition
*	deteriorating performance
-	extra configuration required at reduced performance
X	not compatible
u2.0	unbonded MoCA 2.0, capped at 500Mbps
b2.0	bonded MoCA 2.0, capped at 1000Mbps
?	lacking empirical evidence
(blank)	not filled out yet

I just saw the post about creating a chart/document.

You're lightning fast! 😲

What's the difference between WCB6200 (FNE) and WCB6200 (NCS)?

Cang_Household

I have updated the original post. Please see additional notes.

Am I reading this correctly? I have the old ONT and the G1100 router (MoCA only). Can I replace my current with a ECB6250 MoCA adapter and use a new router of my choice?

When Fios is not being subscribed to, use of a Verizon router is not required.

If the ONT is an old model, consider upgrading to the Nokia 211 to access higher speed Internet.

I'm sorry I'm not following. What you mean but "Fios is not being subscribed to"? I currently have the triple play package tv/phone/internet from Verizon Fios.

pacmusicman

If a Fios subscriber has television service and the latest STB's, a Verizon router is needed to update the channel guides and perform other administrative tasks.

Can you post a picture of a set top box and your Fios ONT for us to see which models they are? My hunch is that the STBs are older units.

Sorry for reviving an old thread. But what is the issue between ECB6200 and ECB5240M that deteriorates performance?

Cang_Household

The MoCA 2.0 broadcom chip used in ECB6200 and ECB5240M has forward compatibility issues with MoCA 2.5. VZ somewhat overcame this issue through firmware in ECB5240M, but Actiontec has not made comparable remedies in their ECB6200.
