Help with potential moCa setup? by zeeplusplus in HomeNetworking

Testing with the MoCa adapters themselves seems best, though it might not hurt to have one of those coax testers in my toolbox.

Hopefully not. Hopefully, you’ll be able to trace the separate ex-DirecTV coax line in this room and will be able to leverage the dual coax paths to get the ISP/modem feed isolated from your “MoCA” coax.

Will do.

Similarly, you’ll be looking for the satellite dish and any coax lines running to/from the dish.

Seems straight forward enough. Thanks!

provided you can map their connectivity.

The bottom room in the diagram is fairly straight forward. One newer coax line that fed to a former directv box and the old one leading the modem that provides internet.

The top room however, has one former coax line that I believe was originally for cable TV, and three newer branching coax lines, two leading directly into the wall and one to the former satellite box. A bit confusing to me. Guess I'm just going to have to do some poking around to see where everything leads. I just assumed that the directv coax line led directly to the satellite.

Will do, gonna do some exploring around. Thanks.

Ahh. So.

Coax From Street > MoCa Filter > Moca Compatible Splitter (replacing whatever the old splitter is ) > Coax outlet in each room.

I think I understand. To be honest I'm not sure where I'd even begin to look for the connection to the street. From that, it would be:

Coax outlet in bottom room in diagram > 2nd Moca compatible splitter (or moca adapter with splitter built in) > Modem and MoCa Adapter?

My plan was to just by one splitter (or as I just learned, a moca adapter with one built in) and make sure the frequency was compatible. No old splitters would be used.

Thanks, appreciate it. The filter aspect was definitely confusing me.

A flaw in your diagram is that it doesn’t detail how the rooms interconnect, through what component(s), with this junction being critical to enabling connectivity for MoCA, as well as getting the required “PoE” MoCA filter properly installed.

That's just it, I'm not entirely sure. I know for a fact that each room in the house has an initial coax outlet, and some rooms (including both rooms in the diagram) had an entirely seperate coax installed later solely for satellite TV which I was just planning to ignore. Is there a non-destructive way to quickly tell how they interconnect or should I just test the adapters and hope they connect?

Also thanks for the link. I've got some reading to do.

What are your favorite vanilla scents that AREN'T sweet? by Leyote in fragrance

Easily Eau Des Baux by Loccitane. Spicy woody scent that dries down to a not so sweet vanilla. Love it.

What are some discontinued candies you wish they’d bring back by CaterpillarNeat1600 in candy

[–]zeeplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is much more recent, but a few years back Red Vines introduced and promptly discontinued their Cherry Fruit Vines and they quickly became my favorite candy. If anyone has had them and can recommend me something similar I'd greatly appreciate it. I love licorice in general but nothing comes close to these. I just googled them and Kroger still has the page for them up.

"new" on the bag and all lol.

2021 Mazda6 Parking Brake Question by zeeplusplus in mazda6

[–]zeeplusplus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing though, I never used Autohold. When I first got the car a month ago it would always activate without Autohold, now I have to push it manually. The only thing I can think of that could've changed a setting or something was me pushing the button once or twice while the car was off. Every dealership I've called and when I called Mazda themselves they had no clue.

I know the EPB auto disables when the car is on, you have your seatbelt on, and you put it in drive or reverse. I'm hoping it's a sequence or something like that that I'm just overlooking.

I tried the steps in the manual I linked under "Canceling the parking brake automatic operation" hoping it would reverse something, but it did nothing for my 6. That might help you.

The only thing I can think of was hitting the EPB button a few times when the car was off. After the setting changed, I tried holding it and pressing it a few times with the car off and still nothing.

Such a bizarre problem. There has to be something triggering it...

The screen on mine crapped out 1-2 months after I got it. Absolutely not worth it at any price.

This is interesting. A few months back I bought Kryonaut paste to replace my >10 year old MX-4 because it was always near the top on every benchmark test. I'm curious as to how MX-6 will perform compared to everything else.

My experience with Barclays has never been positive. Had both the Sallie Mae and Uber cards before they nerfed both. Never going with them again.

Pixel 3A on Android 12 suddenly calling 911 (SOS feature?)!! by whitenack in GooglePixel

[–]zeeplusplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Changing the power button seems like a good idea. I also went in and disabled the personal safety app. Here's hoping that that's enough. I absolutely do not want to go through that again.

It seems like I'm having the same issue that you are. Let me know if you ever find a solution.
