Is the Gateway XB7 MoCA Enabled?

Is the new XB7 Gateway capable of being connected to an Actiontec MoCA adapter to enable ethernet connection to TV.

I use it myself with my XB7 and my Actiontec WCB6200Q

I have the ECB6000S02 working flawlessly for several years with a TG1682G Gateway but getting it hooked up was a PITA. I had to contact a Comcast technician through DSLReports http://www.dslreports.com/forums/all?r=395  because the Xfinity Comcast support folks didn't even know what MoCA was.  Let's hope it goes smoother with the XB7 Gateway

Installed my new XB7 Gateway yesterday upgrading from a TG1682G using the xFi app.  The install went smooh as glass except no MoCA.  So I went into the Gateway login at 10.0.0.1 and enabled MoCA.  All is well now in XB7 MoCA world.

I enabled the moca setting but the adapter is not connecting.  Having trouble logging in to the adapter itself as well.  Any suggestions?

@BroncoTrader  In order for MoCA to work in your home, the coaxial cabling must be network in a "Home Run" method as suggested by the MoCAlliance. Refer to this link for best practices http://mocalliance.businesscatalyst.com/technology/Final_Best-Practices-for-Installation-of-MoCA_170516rev01.pdf.

Try the following 2 steps 

  1.  Find the point of entry for your Comcast service and exam the coaxial wirings to the rooms.  It is usually in the garage, basement or attic.   If all the coaxial wires are routed through a coax splitter then that's a good start.  You may buy/borrow a coax test tracer and trace the signal between the 2 points in the house.
  2.  Make sure the coax splitter used is MoCA compatible.  That is the frequency supported should support MoCA range from 1125 - 1525 MHz.  

The adapter should communicate directly with Xfinity Gateway with MoCA or the other MoCA adapter in the house if all the coaxial wires are linked.
