Download speed is nice for watching high-quality videos, while upload speed is important if you want to look good yourself, during a video conference. Our internet provider only supports DOCSIS 3.0 modems, meaning that the Arris SURFboard SB6183 cable model is a good fit. We don’t get Gigabit speed internet service around here, in fact the download speed is capped at about 150 Mbps and upload at about 8 Mbps around here. They work great with MoCA systems and are made to connect to any size of coaxial cable, which includes newer RG6 cable or older RG59 cable. Whether you are using a cable (internet, TV, or phone), satellite TV, or antenna system. The device provides a perfect termination for the MoCA band and reduces micro reflections that would typically reduce the data throughput.” Two-Way SplitterīAMF splitters use a frequency spectrum of 5-2300 MHz for optimal performance on all devices. The device physically isolates the subscriber premise by providing a band stop at the networks Point of entry “POE” This avoids interference from other MoCA users. “The BELDON PPC MoCA “Point of Entry” filter Model SNLP-1GCW serves as in-home networking services pass-through for the 5-1002MHz band while providing an excellent termination for the MoCA band from 860Mhz to 1525MHZ. We don’t live at the same place anymore and one of the first things I did, when we moved into our current location, was removing all unnecessary connections from coax-cable that enters the home (POE = Point of entry). I also put a POE filter on the coax to prevent any unwanted signals from leaving the home (more on that later) and replaced the five-way splitter with a two way, only connecting the office and the living-room.

This particular router and my setup doesn’t seem to require the creation of a static route anymore, opening a web browser at this URL: opens the status page of my Arris SB6183 cable modem. These days, I’m still using a LinkSys router but a newer model, the WRT3200 ACM with its IP address and subnet set to 192.168.200.1 : 255.255.255.0

The IP address to connect to a cable modem is still the same 192.168.100.1. Some things have changed some stayed the same. Fourteen years ago I wrote a blog post about the signal levels that come in and go out of your typical cable modem.
