In the existing configuration it's utilizes both of these moca bridges (WAN and LAN) on the same cabling. A MOCA LAN bridge which provides connectivity between the router and the Verizon Set-Top Boxes (STBs). A MOCA WAN bridge which provides coax connectivity between the ONT and the router. According to DSL reports the verizon router includes two MOCA bridges. I think i'm slowly starting to understand this more. One way to make that setup work is to have a direct coax connection from the ont to the stb, but the removes the ability to use that cabling for your router's moca network and leaves the 2nd floor without a wired connection. This seems like it would cause all sorts of issues. There's two moca and potentially even IP networks on the same cabling. The potential problem in your third diagram is at the network layer. I would really like to as well as I haven't seen it in years and need a refresh. But this was still coming from the verizon router, so I don't know how much the router was an influence in that.īut the easiest thing is to simply leave the verizon coax and moca setup the way it currently is and then simply put your own network and moca on coax cables separated from the verizon moca and ont. In my experience with a verizon stb the one time I had experience with one was that the stb basically needs the verizon Internet access, even if that is over ethernet. My biggest hesitation on this is sinking a couple hundred bucks into moca adapters before being fairly confident it will work. The 2nd and 3rd floor coax cables would then be carrying both the ONT signal and the moca signal if I understand it correctly. With a splitter like below, the input would be the ONT, the three outputs would be the moca adapter, 2nd floor coax cable and 3rd floor coax cable.

Reading a couple moca adapter manuals it seems like the third configuration i posted on my first post would be functional. In their config I think they are just using the vz router as a moca adpater.

Image below is the recommended config per DSL reports for third party router while maintaining full STB functionality. In the existing configuration the verizon router has built in moca providing that functionality (through that existing splitter). It's an odd configuration compared to what I'm used to seeing with something like comcast. If the STB is connected direct to the ONT it will work but the guide on the STB won't populate as it relies on the moca network to provide that (i believe the on-demand also relies on the moca network). My understanding of the verizon STB is that it relies on both the coax from the ONT and the moca network for full functionality so I cannot separate them.

I hope this helps! And if not, feel free to ask questions.

And by disconnecting the coax connection between the ont and the splitter that goes to the rest of the ports in the house, you are now free to create another separate moca network that can be fed by your router.īecause you're dealing with STB and Verizon and all the quirks with those pieces of equipment, the gist of it is that you can use the coax to feed those boxes directly and then use the rest of the coax separately for whatever else you need to do. So you can have a single straight shot run from the coax ont to your stb-no splitters involved. How is this important in your setup? Well, essentially you want to have two moca networks over the same coax-except you can actually separate the coax into as many point to point networks as you want by directly wiring things together versus through splitters. So there's an important concept to understand about moca and coax that I think will lead you to the answer for your setup.
