MoCa setup question - ISP chained multiple coax splitters with only one output used?
Hey all,
I've been studying up to set up a MoCa line on my home network, and when checking on my coax situation I saw that my ISP has this interesting splitter setup in the cable box. The source line runs into the 2-way splitter, which then has its one output connected to a 3 way splitter. A singular output connection runs out of the -7dB output on the 3-way and to what I assume is my gateway inside the house.
The way my amateur eyes see it, I can either:
- Leave the signal pathway as-is and upgrade both splitters to be MoCa compliant, hooking my room's coax cable to either one.
- Get rid of the 3-way splitter entirely and run everything off of the first one. Cleaner, but I'm a hesitant on this as I've heard that ISPs will use splitters in to weaken too-strong signals in a pinch. I don't know how significant that might be in my case.
Curious what you all think the cleanest solution would be, thank you.
