MoCA
I have some cable inlets in my bedrooms, and I'd like to use one to connect my PC to Ethernet instead of wireless, but I don't want cables running from room to room. So, I bought a MoCA adapter and filter. https://a.co/d/1rGmnia and https://a.co/d/0JI6Hfb . My main cable inlet is in the living room. I don't have cable TV, so I have the filter installed between the main inlet and Xfinity gateway (XB7). I have enabled MoCA in the gateway's settings. I then take my adapter into the bedroom and plug it into an electrical outlet. All lights are working fine. I then connect it to the cable inlet and connect that to my PC with an Ethernet cable, but I get nothing. No signal. I have verified the bedroom inlet works by connecting the gateway directly to it, and the signal is there; it works fine. I've tried it in reverse with the gateway in the bedroom and the adapter in the living room, and same, no signal. I've searched everywhere for help but haven't found anything matching my problem.

The PoE MoCA filter has to be installed on the input port of the first splitter off of the drop line coming directly from the street, not between the gateway and the wall outlet.
Also, check to see if there are any non-MoCA compliant splitters (5-1002 MHz) in the line between the living room and the bedroom. They need to be MoCA compliant (5-1675 MHz), such as this one
