![]() For their respective multi-room DVR services, they use a proprietary coax networking technology. However, satellite TV, which runs on different spectrum, is not compatible with the 1.1 MoCA standard. The technology is designed so that it does not interfere with the broadcasts of traditional cable TV service. A MoCA network is broadcasted roughly between 500MHz and 1.5GHz (1500MHz). The current standard for MoCA is 1.1 and the equipment used in this project is standards compliant. If your cable service provider offers a service called Multi-Room DVR, they are almost certainly using MoCA to enable it. MoCA stands for the Multimedia over Coax Alliance. Just like Wi-Fi is the ubiquitous standard for wireless home networks, MoCA is the nearly ubiquitous standard for coax networks. Before I get into the installation, the next step will cover a quick overview of the coax networking technology.Ī coax network is an extension of the existing home network onto the coax cable network in the home. Fortunately, there's a wired networking solution that allows high speed Ethernet to bridge over the existing coax cable (cable TV) network in the home. With the family room and bedroom on the opposite side of the house, expanding the wired Ethernet network conventionally would have been labor intensive. My parents' Ethernet network is limited to the home office and a small bedroom directly above it. I recommended that they switch to a wired network connection for a faster and more reliable solution. Prior to me coming home for Labor Day, they set up an Apple TV on the wireless network. My mom, who has rented Netflix DVDs for a while, wanted to start streaming her favorite shows in the family room and bedroom rather than waiting for disks. This ICB and WiFi Access Point can also be used to extend the internet from your source to other rooms in the house or building that are getting a weak WiFi signal.Like many existing homes, my parents' home has a limited wired Ethernet network and a wireless (Wi-Fi) network covering the rest. The WiP7500 WiFi Access Point delivers the WiFi signal to other rooms and has four 1-Gigabit ports to pass the ethernet signal to other ethernet devices. The ethernet signal from the second WiP7001 is connected to a Smart TV and the other to set-top boxes for the IPTV signals. The Ethernet+TV Coax port from the Wip7001 is then connected via coax to a wi3 Coax Splitter and it creates a bridge to other WiP7001 and WiP7500 WiFi Access Points. In this example the ethernet signal from an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is connected to the ethernet port of the first WiP7001p. The example below illustrates the installation of the WiP7001 and the WiP7500 WiFi Access Point (AP). Typical IPTV Installation of WiP7001 and WiP7500 WiFi AP Typical Installation for CATVThe illustration below shows that you can mix the wired ICB (WiP7001) and WiFi ICB (WiP7500) together to distribute the ethernet, internet, WiFi and CATV channels over coax cable. This ICB is compatible with Cable TV (CATV) and Over-the-Air (OTA) TV Broadcast channels for sending both the ethernet and TV signals over the coax cable that is already installed in your home or building. This WiFi Access Point broadcasts a strong WiFi signal and can connect to other ethernet devices through the four ethernet ports. In the example below you can substitute the WiP7500 with the WiP7001 wired ICB for those areas that you do not need a WiFi Access Point. The ethernet signal from the second WiP7500 is connected to a Smart TV and the "TV" RF signal. The Ethernet+TV Coax port from the WiP7500 is then connected with coax to our Amplifier that effectively creates bi-directional "Internet Coax Bridges" to other WiP7500. The example below illustrates the distribution of WiFi signals and TV signals over coax cable using the WiP7500 connected to the CATV service coax cable and cable modem/router. ![]() Typical Installation of WiP7500 Internet Coax Bridge (ICB) WiFi Access Point The WiP7500 WiFi Access Point has the same functionality as the WiP7001 Internet Coax Bridge but adds WiFi and four 1-Gigabit Ports. Allows you to pass over-the-air broadcast TV services when connected to over-the-air antenna.Allows you to pass all cable TV services when connected to cable modem.Allows you to use existing coax cable to create wired and WiFi ethernet connections.Designed to eliminate dead spots and ensure full strength WiFi everywhere.The WiP7500 is a bi-directional media converter that can be connected with coax cable to other wired ICB or ICB with WiFi AP and to your internet and cable TV provider.
