Quick question, FiOS MoCA network: Do Actiontec 6200 MOCA WiFi extenders need to communicate with the G6100 gateway, or only the ONT?
I ask because nearly all houses are going to have at least one splitter with isolation 25 - 30 dB between any 6200 extender and their G6100 gateway, and in fact most houses probably have a few, each adding additional splitter loss (3 - 10 dB) between these two devices.
However, if the 6200 extenders communicate only with the ONT, then it's really just some splitter losses (3 - 10 dB /ea) between these devices, no concern with massive 30 dB splitter isolation. This would dictate typical MOCA network layout.
Also, is there any need for 6200 extenders to communicate directly with each other, if perhaps a device connected to one is trying to communicate with a device connected to another? Or does all comm route back thru the gateway or ONT?
Thanks!
