Your MoCA adapters will not link if there is a problem with the coaxial wiring inside your home. MoCA requires that all coax outlets be on the same continuous coax network. Here's how to check:
Step-by-Step Checklist: - ✅ All coaxial outlets must be connected to a central splitter.
- ❌ Homes previously wired for satellite TV (like DirecTV or DISH) often isolate coax lines
- ✅ Use only MoCA-compatible splitters (5-1675 MHz range)
- ✅ Avoid amplifiers or filters that can block MoCA signals
- ✅ Check that coax outlets in each room are live (try a cable modem or TV signal test)
Test Your Coax Network:
1. Plug in both HTEM4 units into two different coax outlets
2. Connect both to power and Ethernet (one to router, one to device/laptop)
3. If the MoCA light turns on on both units, the network is MoCA-compatible.
If not, your coax lines may not be connected or require rewiring/splitter changes.
