I own a nighthawk EX8000 extender which I believe can be used as a wired access point. Ideally I would need a wired access point that doesn’t take up a lot of space and is aesthetically appealing as it has to go in my downstairs livingroom next to the TV up on a fireplace mantle as that’s where my coax comes out of the wall. I already own a nighthawk x4s and have pulled between 700-800 sitting next to the router. Not to get too far ahead but the biggest challenge is going to be what access point can I use that will give me the fastest Wifi once it’s wired to the switch? I ordered two of those Ethernet switches. I decided on the Motorola MOCA adapters instead of the actiontec because it saved me almost $100. I have already ordered the stuff I’ll need from amazon and it’s supp to be delivered Sunday. The GS105E will take care of that for you. It's best to not let these IPTV packets anywhere near that WiFi AP. IPTV (or any multicast) packets can wreak havoc with WiFi. Since you are wanting to plug in a wireless AP on this switch is critical that you get an IGMP snooping switch. This has been known to cause problems with devices receiving these IPTV packets when they aren't expecting them.Īgain, it's cheap and has really good reviews so it's kind of a no-brainer.Įdit: I just reread your question. non-IGMP switches will flood all ports on the switch with the IPTV stream regardless of whether that port has an active listener. IGMP snooping is a way for switches to optimize IPTV traffic such that the IPTV streams only get forwarded to the ports in which there is an active listener. The reason is because it is an IGMP snooping switch and is still reasonably priced at $33 on Amazon. Though may I make a recommendation for the Netgear GS105E (the "E" is important). Thanks everyone for the support and suggestions. I could try and hook things back up late tonight whenever everyone in the house is not watching TV and in bed and report back. Thank you for the link to that MoCA adapter I will check it out. I was thinking I had to have a coax connector coming from the RG in the mix. I could try a patch cable as Economist suggested to make sure they are working ok before trying this again.īdginmo you may be on to something here as I did not connect the main coax cable that feeds my main cable network to the input of the MoCA adapter. and used them in this same house over the same coax network and they worked fine on my Tivo's so I don't think the Cable run is too long. I don't think there is anything wrong with the MoCA adapters as they were not used a lot. My goal is to get near Gig speeds in other locations of my home and to be able to hook up an access point downstairs or to use a mesh system that supports ethernet backhaul in order to get the best speeds. I live in a big house and only get to enjoy gig speeds in one room of the house ( where the RG is connected).
