buy a wired router and at least two MoCA 2.0 adapters.I am feeling pretty good about my plan, but am just hoping someone here can help me confirm that I have things planned out correctly. I’ve been reading all the MoCA threads here that I can, and they've been super helpful thus far. However, I’m also assuming that I’m going to want to position my router in a more central location for better wifi coverage. I assume that when the verizon ONT gets installed, it’ll be in my basement. It is a three story tall (+basement) row home. The new home is not wired for ethernet, but has coax throughout. I also have a pretty decent personal router already (asus RT-AX3000) and so I don’t feel like I need to rent a router from verizon. We don’t need a home phone line or a TV plan, so we’ll be getting internet only. My wife and I work from home, doing a lot of zoom calls, so we want to make sure we have a solid internet connection. Probably two different teams and one coincidentally picked 50 thinking routers always use 1 or something.I’m moving into a new home in october and I think that fios is going to be my best bet. Shame on them in this case ESPECIALLY since they know damn well the IP is already used by their own products. In reality they should treat a MOCA adapter the same way a smart plug or other IOT device works, it should grab DHCP and only if it can't do that, then default back to some other pre-defined IP. Most OS's will warn you right away when it is detected (but only if it overlaps with their own IP, not if there are two devices elsewhere on the LAN with the same IP). You would think the log would notify you of the duplicate IP, but maybe have to bump up the log level, or maybe that's just an oversight on their part. 172.x is also a bit safer than 192 but I've seen it used too. I prefer something in the 10.x space since it is far more rare to see that (and it has a lot more subnets to choose from). I don't like using 192 on anything since so many vendors use it and most use 192.168.0 or 192.168.1. Pretty sure my RT-AC1900 was 192.168.1.1 but I haven't used the default IP since the day I got it. I think they changed to 50.1 from 1.1 with a more recent code base on certain routers. At this point I'm ready to send the adapters back and try another pair. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? These adapters are relatively new and there's not much information on them, and as far as I can tell there is no web interface or firmware updates. I've had the router for a few weeks now and have had absolutely no issues with it until I introduced these adapters. I've tested all of the cables with a fluke ciq-100 and everything tests ok. I've also tried connecting to one of the regular 1gb ports and the same issue happens. If I unplug the ethernet cable that's going to the adapter while the router is hung up it will immediately become responsive again. Sometimes more than once in a row which I'm guessing is whats causing it to hang. Mar 4 10:57:59 kernel: ^ xport_reset: rc = 0 intf = 3 port = 2 spd = 2.5G dup = 1 Mar 4 10:57:59 kernel: eth5 (Int switch port: 6) (Logical Port: 6) (phyId: 13) Link DOWN. In the router log the only indication of an issue is this: Now the problem I'm having is that seeming randomly the router will just lock up for few seconds and all internet will hang and even the router web interface will become inaccessible and the adapter on the router side will appear to reboot itself. I have an Asus GT-AX6000 which has 2 2.5gb ports on it and shows active at the correct speed and I get great speeds on the other end. When I plug the adapters in they connect almost immediately and seem to work as expected. None of the coax in the house is in use and I have about a 50ft run of ethernet from the router and then a direct connection between the 2 adapters with about 75ft of RG-6. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hi everyone, I recently picked up a pair of ASUS MA-25 moca 2.5 adapters to extend my network to my upstairs office, and I'm having some issues that is driving me crazy.
