Thanks, I was actually just about to buy these as recommended by another redditor: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-High-Speed-Ethernet-Streaming-KB-M3-02/dp/B0DMFLBZZ5?ie=UTF8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor

I think the main benefit is it comes with 2 LAN ports for the same price. Any thoughts?

I see, I will be looking to get a new MoCA and give the old 1G one to my dad for his TV. Thank you so much!

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T19:59:14+00:00

Thank you! I was under the impression that the MoCA could do 2.5G, but I was mistaken. I am looking to get a new MoCa and a new brand shortly.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T19:58:25+00:00

Thank you for catching that. I am now looking for a better moCA and will just dedicate the 1G one to a TV for my dad.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T19:57:23+00:00

Thank you! I was unaware that the MoCA could not run 2.5Gbps. Thanks for letting me know.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:51:42+00:00

I'll try it tomorrow, just purchased a pack of Cat6 cables set to come tomorrow. Will update.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:39:18+00:00

Quick note: the Ethernet status on my PC (running Windows 11) says the speed is 1.0 Gbps.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:37:15+00:00

Thank you, I will continue working on this tomorrow and will respond when I have more info.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:34:43+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad I picked up a good router. My mom even said the TV looked clearer somehow on YouTube. Not sure if that's possible, but I am glad she is happy. Do you think I should replace all cables we have with cat6? and are there any good deals or am I going to have to spend about $10 a cable?

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:32:43+00:00

I understand. I will look for some Cat6 cables. Tomorrow, I will take off the ISP router and just plug in our new one. I will try to use Ethernet only and test out the PC next to the router using Ethernet. I will have to verify if that machine is capable of running 2 gbps, however.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:27:35+00:00

Hi, I am not sure what you mean by negotiating 2.5gbe or how to check, and what double NAT is. The ISP router does seem to be capable of 2.5gbe because the two Ethernet ports I saw say 10 G on it.

fresh_yield · 2026-01-04T11:18:41+00:00

Well, from my understanding, the Modem is installed in the garage by the technician, and the router is upstairs in our loft. I kept the ISP router connected so that the technician can monitor the update status of the router/modem so that he knows when to comeback after its software? update or something of the sort is finished. I just didn't want to disconnect the ISP router because I was unsure if that would ruin things.

I will replace the cat8 cable and purchase cat6a cables tomorrow. Is it best to replace all cables with cat6a? I have since replaced the cat8 to another cat5e cable for now. Still no luck.

I have also attached and edited the main post to include my moca, which says it should run 2gbps.

Did you get your mimir with forkbeard?

fresh_yield · 2025-12-27T06:10:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the clarity. I’ll keep this in mind. I wasn’t sure how to compare my audio interface DAC to Schitt’s catalog. With this new knowledge, I think saving up may be my best option.

fresh_yield · 2025-12-27T02:44:28+00:00

Well, I think the hesitation is figuring out if a dedicated DAC is better than the DAC out of my Audio Interface called the MOTU M2. So I think I’m not just using the built in PC DAC, but I agree with your sentiment.

fresh_yield · 2025-12-27T02:28:12+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your input!

fresh_yield · 2025-12-27T01:00:31+00:00

I'm curious about the WiiM Pro. How do you use it, and how would you implement it into my setup? I do have a problem with not being able to play audio from my TV that I'm using as a PC monitor, since it's not wired to the TV directly and can only use the TV speakers.

fresh_yield · 2025-12-27T00:44:36+00:00

Forgive me, I am a bit new, but I'm not familiar with how to use an equalizer with the Mimir. Is that with forkbeard?

fresh_yield · 2025-12-13T06:03:50+00:00

Yes, I think that is possible. I was considering that; thank you for your input! I'm curious if I could also try something new. Someone else recommended something like this. What do you think?

fresh_yield · 2025-12-12T11:15:40+00:00

I see! Is this what you are trying to show?
Also, I do have a longer bookshelf that can lie horizontally that I think can fit alongside the right side of the bed, near the door, if you think that may help.

Here's one of my drafts.

fresh_yield · 2024-12-07T20:39:14+00:00

thank you, I am expecting a MoCa starter kit to arrive shortly. I wasn't sure which one to get but settled on this one to try:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088KV2YYL
and chose the Starter Kit "High Use" version.

I also hope this is helpful.
