BASIC ILLUSTRATION

CONNECT THE MoCA ADAPTER

For a ‘point to point connection, you need two adapters. The first MoCA adapter is connected to the Cable modem or Router, the second adapter at the other end of the coaxial cable:

ADAPTER

Connect one of the LAN ports of the Router or Cable modem to the LAN-1 port of the first adapter.
Connect the coaxial cable that runs through the house to the ‘Coax’ port of the first adapter.
(if applicable) Connect the coaxial cable coming from the outdoor network to the TV port of the first adapter.
On the receiving end, connect to the MoCA port of the MoCA adapter.
TL-MC84 has two available Ethernet ports that can be used to connect up to two network devices. ( The Ethernet ports are Gigabit Ethernet Ports)

INSTALLATION NOTES

Up to 16 adapters can be mounted in the network
If you are using a coax amplifier, place the MoCA adapter behind the coax amplifier.
Avoid using multiple taps in your coaxial network (a multi-tap topology distributes the signal with very high attenuations between ports).
