Re: Modem Connected over MoCA Bridge to Personal Router
It sounded like you had to have a router that was configured properly for this and supported this type of setup: Solved: Re: ONT vs Modem - TELUS Neighbourhood. I have a DLINK DIR-867 that I would like to hook up here. Based on my first attempt something was going wrong with WiFi when I tried replacing it completely, but I'll investigate more tomorrow and report back.6.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Modem Connected over MoCA Bridge to Personal Router
Thanks so much for replying. Your understanding is correct. Just to clarify the Telus Fibre coming into the house goes through the ONT (Optical to Ethernet box that Telus installed by electrical panel); this connects to the T3200M modem through MoCA as discussed (I believe the only reason for this was so that we could move the telus modem/router upstairs and utilize existing coaxial cable in the house). When I did some research online earlier, I came to the same conclusion as your recommendation of removing the T3200M, I just had no idea I could do this as I thought that modem from Telus was a necessary part of the interpretation of internet traffic into the house. I tried setting up the router directly where the Modem was on its own earlier but had some issues getting the WiFi part of it working. Will have to look into that more. Is there anything special I need to change on my personal router's settings if I'm going to replace the Telus T3200M modem/router? Thanks.6.5KViews0likes2CommentsModem Connected over MoCA Bridge to Personal Router
Hello, I would like to bridge our homes T3200M Modem to a personal gaming router. However I have some confusion with how my roommates Telus Fibre Internet home setup affects this. Here's the internet wiring situation: ONT box in basement sends copper signal to MoCA adapter that connects to house coaxial which goes upstairs. On the second floor this coaxial comes out of the wall to a second MoCA adapter that converts back to ethernet and goes into the T3200M modem which acts as the current router as well for the house. We would like a better WiFi experience with my personal gaming router, so I imagined I could simply enable bridge mode on the T3200M and plug in my router to port1. I am new to using MoCA so I have a couple of questions: 1. Is the upstairs MoCA necessary if it is just being used to connect to the T3200M, which apparently has onboard MoCA capabilities? My roommate said it was necessary for fibre setup, but I'm doubtful. 2. Will this work with the ethernet from the MoCA upstairs going into the WAN port of the modem that I want to flip to bridge mode? My understanding is when bridge mode is on only port1 works? So how do I set this up with these MoCA devices going into the modem? Is still as simple as bridge mode on then ethernet cable in port1 to my gaming router? Thanks, Hugh.Solved6.7KViews0likes5Comments
