Orbi (RBK753) Connection to MOCA Network for Xfinity After Changing XB6 Gateway to Bridge Mode
I am stumped how to connect my MOCA network for my TV signals now that I have lost the MOCA onboard adapter on the Xfinity XB6-T Gateway when I changed it to bridge mode. Bridge mode automatically...
I solved it.....by adding a ScreenBeam ECB6250 MOCA adapter from my router (ethernet) to the MOCA smart splitter (Amphenol IPGH3M4-VF via coax) I was able to replace the MOCA function that the Xfinity XB6-T gateway did and "re-inject" that signal back into the MOCA network in my house.

Is it correct to assume that the TV's have only a single coax connector that is used for both cable television and as a data connection? i.e. the tv's acces the internet through the coax connector?
Correct....Coax in each room to Xi-DP connector, out the connector through HDMI to the TV

Thanks for explaining. I believe I also have one of these Xfinity XiD boxes in one of my rooms, connected via coax and feeds HDMI to my TV for cable signals. It still works without MOCA and my Xfinity modem is in bridge mode to my Orbi, though I don't rely upon it for internet service for my TV. How is your setup different?
Sounds the same...how it your coax connected to Xfinity? Through a regular coax splitter straight to the room or through a smart low loss of signal splitter?
