Re: MoCA drops receive only every ten minutes

Hi dexman,

I had the amplifier in, but I've also now tried it without the amplifier -- same problem.

(I also confirmed that the ONT coax is only delivering TV to the STBs -- without the ONT coax connected, my internet access still works, as it's coming from the router's coax.)

So, I'm now on a new MoCA 8-way splitter, ONT direct to splitter 'input', and still get no incoming packets for a second or so, once every ten minutes.

Decided to also try ONT and router each going into a 2:1 splitter, and using the output of the splitter to feed into the 8:1 splitter. Again, everything works apart from losing incoming packets every ten minutes.

I ran two PCs using wifi to the same extender, and confirmed they both lose incoming packets at the same time. Have done similar tests with the extender ethernet ports -- it's not a wifi issue.

Running out of ideas. All signal levels look great in the diagnostics on the router and extenders.

Thanks,

John.

If that's the case, could list all of your MoCA devices on the network?

I think it is a MoCA version compatibility issue now.

Further information before listing all devices… if I power off two extenders, and just use one extender, it’s almost 100% stable. Adding a second, it’s got an issue once every hour or two. Adding the third, it’s every ten minutes. Tried different combinations, and it doesn’t matter which extenders are on/off. I know one of the extenders is hardware version 1102. I’ve seen issues with two extenders and that one turned off, so I don’t think that’s the issue.
