How to troubleshoot connection problems with MoCA (goCoax WF-803M) and basic MoCA setup requirements
309This video will walk the viewer through setting up the simplest type of MoCA connection and what to look for when things are not working immediately.
We also demonstrate what to look for when the coaxial cables are split or routed to a central splitter and we need to confirm the splitter compatibility with your MoCA devices.
When all of these fairly simple troubleshooting steps do not do the trick, you may have a truly faulty device.

1:41 #1: You need two devices
2:15 #2: You need that ethernet cable plugged into the 1st device LAN port
3:05 #3: The coaxial cable must be plugged into the MoCA port on the 1st device
4:11 #4: You have to power each device
5:05 #5: You have to plug the coaxial cable into the MoCA port on the 2nd device
5:37 #6: You have to be able to trace a coaxial connection between both (all) devices
6:21 #7: Plug the ethernet cable from the end computer/switch/game console, etc., into the 2nd device LAN port
