With mid split becoming more popular, you really shouldn't use a amp unless you have to. How many TV boxes do you have? What is your signal strength going into your house?
Thanks WiderMouthOpen .... I just have 2 TVs connects (plus an Xbox) that are all driven by my MOCA network so nothing too demanding on really. I pay for the 1Gb service but as we know with Cox, your mileage might vary depending on the day 😀
Your best bet is to go coax from outside > ground > MoCA filter > 2 way splitter splitter > 1 coax to modem and 1 coax to amp > everything else. That way you don't have to worry about the amp causing mid-split problems with your modem.
As for what amps work best with MoCA, that I am not familiar with since I have never used MoCA. The best person I can think to ask is a user I met on Reddit by the name of Plooger. I have since left Reddit, but I used to call him/her the MoCA King. If you belong to Reddit, I suggest posting on r/Homenetworking or send him/her a DM.
Thanks WiderMouthOpen !! This is some good advice here that I will need to follow up on. My focus is to fine tune what I have vs build out or extend without COX jumping on me for sending too much noise back in their larger network. Basically, I want to get the most out of my MOCA with the most speed and consistency without attracting too much attention
