I have been using an ethernet over coax solution for a few years without issues (not sure what the technology was, but it wasn't MoCA). But since it was limited to 100Mbits total bandwidth I decided to upgrade to MoCA 2.5 devices from goCoax.
Here is what my setup looks like:
coax from ISP -> modem -> ethernet cable -> MoCA master -> coax cable -> MoCA splitter -> coax cables -> MoCA slaves
Now the problem is, when I plug everything in, only one MoCA slave will ever have a connection to the master. If I unplug it, another random slave will make the connection. When I connect all adapters to my splitter on the kitchen table with short coax cables and power them all on at once, they all work simultaneously.
What could be causing this issue? Are the cables too long (cable runs are approximately 30 to 60 feet each)? Do all adapters have to be powered on at the exact same time? Could the cheap splitter be at fault despite advertising MoCA compatibility?
