Can’t get Screenbeam MoCA to work :(
Hello,
I’m really struggling to figure this out. A tech installed our modem/router in our garage. We live in a 2 story home. We have been experiencing several issues in one of our rooms upstairs. Our plan is for 1gig speed (fiber optic). This room tends to get 56-200 mbps at best.
This room is used for music and video production. It’s very important to have fast internet in this room. I have a cat5e in our phone jacks. I considered going this direction and changing them to Ethernet/data ports. A few steps seem a bit overwhelming so I opted out for Moca adapters.
I recently bought a pair of screenbeam (ECB7250K02). This is how I tried setting up.
Adapter 1 (garage where modem/router are located)
Splitter
Out - coaxial to modem
Out - coaxial to screenbeam
In - coaxial home (couldn’t find the right cable)
Adapter 2 (upstairs)
Wall outlet - coaxial - screenbeam - to kvm switch - MacBook
The adapters are not syncing.
The biggest challenge is adapter 1. I have no clue which coaxial cable is should be connecting up.
I’ve never use any coaxial cable. I read that the coaxial connections are usually outside. SO I went outside and found a mess of lose coaxial cables left in the open.
I left both adapters on. I figured I’d tried to figure which coaxial cable outside was the correct one by taking out the IN from adapter 1, and try each cable 1 by 1.
Unfortunately none of them worked. I uploaded a picture of the random coaxial cables that I found outside.
I honestly don’t know what I’m doing or how to make this work.
Please, any help is appreciated. I m really hoping to get this working.
Kind regards

Is the splitter that adapter one is connected to a MoCA compliant one (5-1675 MHz) such as this splitter

Quite welcome ! Yep, that's a proper splitter. It says 5-1675 MHz on it. So it's likely a wiring issue and / or another non-compliant splitter(s) somewhere. If you can't trace the coax cables, you may want to get a tech visit, a low-voltage electrician, or a service like Geek Squad to help you out. Good luck with it !
