Wow, you are a busy person. Thank You so much for all your assistance and advice. You are a huge asset to these Forums.
Thank you! I need to keep busy to stay sane. I am just sorry I am so loud that it stops other people from posting. Also, I am not very helpful on this particular topic. All the different MoCA versions and bands and their frequency use confound me. I found this which has some good info on page 9 which seems to point to 1675Mhz as the top end of MoCA 2.5. Since MoCA is backwards compatible it's best to build for 2.5.
As for what amp to use, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I see that OP's modem has a downstream operating range of 108 to 1002 MHz and duplex filters of 5-42 and 5-85 MHz for the upstream. So it would seem a standard 5-1000Mhz amp would do, but we have seen where it causes problems. I think an expert opinion is required.
FYI, Another MB8600. You know my rant, but, by now, it should be more and more apparent that I am accurate about the "Motorola"/Zoom brand it's it's negative aspects.
