Anytime I see 6x splitters, I get a bit nervous. Most of them you see, aren't powered so they have significant signal reduction because its split. And if they are powered, not all of them are decent and can still corrupt the signal. I'd start with just going moca--->moca without an adapter/splitter. Run 1 of the orbi's off that and see if they backhaul stays stable. IF it doesn, then try using just a double splitter and seeing if the moca stays stable for the 2x orbi satellites.
Moca does work as a backhaul. I've both seen it done and tested it myself. So it does work.
So start by simplifying and taking the 6x splitter out and see what happens.
Do you know if its a powered 6x splitter/amplifier or just a splitter? Got a model for it?
What moca adapters are you using?

Hi Plemans,
It’s non powered.
the model is Trix 349806 SCS-6.
MoCa are gocoax MD2500D.

Those are solid moca adapters. I'd try the removing the splitter for now. If that works, it might be worth checking into an approved 6x powered moca adapter.

I will try that, but it will mean that (for the test) that only one of the Orbi is online, right?
