MoCA Adaptors
I just got MoCA adaptors to put ethernet through the Coax... I put them on, all the lights and colors are what they are supposed to be but they are not putting out any internet through the ethernet line.

TLDR: If you've been successfully using MoCA on COX Internet-only and suddenly it isn't working the answer may be within. A Solution for Poor WiFI Terrible WiFi service had me search for another solution in October of 2020. I also have a 2-story brick home, making it difficult to install Cat5/6 cables. I stumbled upon MoCA which in simple terms sends your internet signal through your old unused cable connections throughout your home. In essence, everywhere you wanted an ethernet drop, you would install a MoCA adapter which you would then run a Cat5/6 ethernet cable from the adapter to your end device (game console/computer). A New Problem In early September 2021 COX started disabling my MoCA capability twice daily. After some research I found that COX disables MoCA capability for internet-only subscribers for "security reasons." I thought that a Point of Entry (POE) filter would stop the signal from escaping the house, therefore no longer alerting COX that there was interference coming from my home. Since COX continues to disable my MoCA network I think that they don't detect interference; rather, the system just pushes out a signal twice a day to disable MoCA. A New Solution Currently I am using the COX Panoramic 4140 as the primary MoCA gateway. I have 2 goCoax MoCA adapters (one in a den, and one on the second story). There is a POE filter installed as close as possible to Coax entering the home. As user Superwaff has described in previous threads, I intend to install a third MoCA adapter before the 4140 with the ethernet port plugged into one of the network connections on the 4140. I hope that I can remember to return to this forum to report my success.7.4KViews0likes3CommentsPanoramic - MoCA keeps disabling
A few days ago, I installed the "ActionTec" device (see device below) to activatethe MoCa feature within the Panoramic device. After installing it, it worked like a charm,however, when I turned it on in the morning to do some work, the "cable" light indicator didn't work. When I checked the Admin page, the settings said it was connected and active, but I didn't see the lights blinking on the ActionTec device. Therefore, I played around with the settings for a few hours, and whale! it worked again, however, after a few hours, it got disabled again (darn). I called cox and support, but they merely suggested that I replace the Panoramic as it might be a firmware issue? Huh, really, - i have the latest version and they checked it saying it was good. Troublehooting Since I had erroneously purchased two "ActionTec" devices, I replaced the original one but that didn't work as well. In short, I've changing, updating and, even resetting my Panoramic settings, but still, the cable light on the "ActionTec" does not light up anymore - Note: I have moved it around different cables and have tested the cable to ensure they're active, but or some reason, still no go. I'm thinking that perhaps I purchased the "ActionTec" device for 2.g vs the 1.g, but i have no explanation why it worked intermittently.

I purchased 2 Motorola Moca adapters to get wired connection for computers in my upstairs room. At first I wanted to see if I could get it to work with only one adapter since thepanoramic modem already has moca. When that didn't work I brought out the second adapter plugged it into the modem, It worked momentarily but then the modem light startedblinking and completelylost connectionto theinternet.436Views0likes0CommentsMoCA disables daily
MoCA has been working great but a few weeks ago it started automatically disabling in myPanoramic Wifi Gateway. I am able to reenable it but it keeps disabling every day. I did open a service ticket and the technician verified everything was set up correctly, including a filter on the outside line. What can be done tostop the daily disabling?18KViews4likes21CommentsPanoramic WiFi Modem MoCA Adapter Setup
I recently upgraded to Cox Gigablast service. I had been using Cox Preferred 150/10 mbps service for years but wanted to step up to 1 Gbps connectivity (or 940 mbps, as advertised). Unfortunately, my PC is in a location where connecting it via a CAT 5 cable was/is not an option, so I always used an 802.11ac WiFi connection. My WiFi router is/was an Apple Airport Time Capsule, my WiFi adapter a Linksys WUSB6400 - the Time Capsule's WiFi is no longer used since I got the Cox Panoramic WiFi modem. Unfortunately, I saw no improvement in (170 mbps download) speeds whatsoever when connecting to the Cox modem. So I upgraded the WiFi adapter to an Intel AX200 onboard adapter (which needed my motherboard's m.2 E-key slot). Suddenly, I was seeing ~650 mbps download speeds on WiFi. This AX200 is a 802.11ax adapter and connects to Cox's modem and my network at 1.7 Gbps - although it obviously does not get 1.7 Gbps download speeds. Not completely satisfied, I decided to try MoCA, so I bought a pair of Motorola MoCA adapters- one for the head end (cable modem) and one for the receiving end (PC). I figured that this would give me the true 940 mbps download speeds to my PC that the Gigablast service promised (and also delivered via a Cat 5 ethernet connection). After installing one of the MoCA adapters at the receiving end (PC) and plugging in the ethernet cable to my PC, I anxiously decided to turn on MoCA in Cox's router config before installing the other adapter at the modem. Lo and behold, I discovered that I did not need the second MoCA adapter on the head end - the Panoramic WiFi modem already has it built in! This has now left me with an unused extra $60 MoCA adapter - which are coincidentally again out of stock on Amazon. Sadly, I did not see the speed increase that I expected - I get about 750 mbps down now, which is only about 15% higher than the upgraded WiFi speeds. But hey, I'll take it. It's still much faster than the 170 mbps I was getting a month ago. I'm posting not so much to ask a question, but instead am posting to share that if you are thinking of using MoCA with your Cox Panoramic WiFi Modem, then you only need oneMoCA adapter at the (each) coax receiving end that you intend to connect. I believe that you may use an ethernet switch if you are looking to connect multiple ethernet devices via the MoCA adapter, although I have not tried this.14KViews0likes0CommentsUnable to enable MoCA on panoramic wifi modem
Hi all, I have theCGM4140COM model of panoramic modem. On thesupport page for the product, a MoCA light is mentioned, but there is no indication as to how to turn it on. It does not appear in the options on the Panoramic Wifi page. In fact the product page is the only place that I have seen MoCA officially mentioned. Any help as to how toenable MoCA connection would be greatly appreciated. Even with the pods there is a lot of latency and I am hoping that a wired connection will help with that, but I'd rather not run an ethernet cable halfway across my house. I already have an adapter for the room with my computer. Thanks in advance, Kristin2.3KViews0likes1CommentIs it possible to have two wired connections (Two Active Cable Outlets)?
When doing the self setup I first tried the cable upstairs in my office and nothing. It said something about finding the "Active cable outlet", so then I tried the one downstairs by the tv and it worked. This means my office/gaming room is now on a wifi connection. I don't want to try to run an Ethernet cable from downstairs to my office. Since there's already a Cable Outlet in my office, is it possible to have it activated and connect some kind of adapter to it so that the same service/IP address is split and shared with upstairs and downstairs? WouldMoCA Network Adapters work for this? Would I need COX to activate the upstairs outlet? P.S. I'm aware of COX wifi pods and port forwarding as other ways to improve my upstairs connection. This post is to explore options for utilizing the currently inactive cable outlet upstairs in conjunction with the downstairs cable outlet.9.4KViews0likes3CommentsMoCA installation
Hi all. I'm a brand new cox subscriber and have purchased the gigabit connection using the COX Panoramic modem/router (Technicolor CGM 4141). Which i believe is compatible with MoCA. The cable connection comes straight into the front room of the house directly into the modem/router. the cable is not split and distributed to any other rooms currently. I'd like to deliver a connection to two other rooms using existing cable and MoCA. So here is my current plan. Please let me know if I have this right. Step 1. Using a standards compliant splitter, connect the service feed prior to the modem connection and distribute it to the two other rooms. Step 2. Using Moca 2.0 adapters, connect the RG6 cable to covert into a standard ethernet signal. Step 3. Connect my PC to the Moca Adapter using RJ45 cat5 cable. Would appreciate any insights or recommendations. Thanks!Solved7.4KViews1like1Comment
