Orbi 4200 (RBR754) with FIOS Internet/ TV MOCA Backhaul
I have the RBK752 (Orbi AX4200 router with 3 satelites) and I am also A Verizon FIOS internet (Gigabit service) and TV customer. My FIOS Router (G1100) remains the primary router and the Orbi router...
For wired RBS to work, they have to be connected behind the RBR, not the ISP router:
I tried the mocha backhaul again per your advice above; specifically:
- Satellite locations: Used a splitter to separate the GoCoax adapter and the coax going into the STB (though per comment above this may not are a difference if GoCoax is not compatible with Verizon STB - tbd).
- Orbi Router (in AP mode): Then at the router, i similarly use a splitter to keep the GoCoax adapter separate from the coax cable going back into the FIOS G1100 router (which is for the STB's). I then connected the GoCoax adapter to a LAN port on my Orbi RBR750.
it worked initially for the first satellite - meaning after connecting the RBS750 to the GoCoax adapter, I reset the STB and had data connectivity.
However after connecting the second satellite to the GoCaox adapter, i got a data connectivity issue when i reset the STB. Not sure why i am getting diffferent results in different rooms.
Not sure if a splitter is a good idea. I can only presume that if you had two separate coax lines with the adapters at each end, and each separate line adapters connected behind the RBR, that the RBS should get connected at the other ends.
