Nighthawk® Multi-Gig Speed Cable Modem for XFINITY® Voice (CM1150V) MoCA?
A simple question, but I can't find an answer. Does this modem support MoCA? If not, if I set up MoCA adapters, will it work? I understand that MoCA 2.5 and DOCSIS 3.1 may have problems with ov...
No it doesn't.
If you're adding moca adapters they need to be setup off the router.
so CM1150v-----router-----moca adapters
Thanks. Based on this, I will need a "router", not a "switch", to connect to the modem?
And all my devices will need to connect to the router:
modem -> router1 -> wireless AP
2 -> moca
3 -> other (switch, computer, printer, etc, dependent on number of ports on the router.)
etc.
The plan was to have a wireless AP connected using PoE, to a switch providing PoE, so I could easily run a line to a central location in the house for the wireless (modem is in the east end of the house). The above would have to modify a bit:
modem -> router1 -> PoE switch -> wireless AP
router2 and etc. as above.
Any thoughts on what the "router" should be?
Thanks again.
Do you need the PoE switch? there'a bit expensive. Buy the time you buy the switch, router, ap, and moca adapters you're quite invested in the setup.
Ever looked into netgear Orbi? They can run with wired or wireless backhaul
