No idea what to do about it, and even if anything can be done about it. The best uneducated explanation I can think of is the cable modem "syncs up" with Rogers' servers at a lower speed for some reason, the power off/on doesn't change that synced up speed, but this bridge->gateway->restart->bridge sequence somehow forces to re-negotiate the speed back to the maximum 946 down. Once every 1 to 1.5 weeks the speed doesn't exceed (any speedtest, consistently) 650-680 megabit down.Ĭomplete power off to both cable modem and router for 5 min - no impact, still (!) 650-680 megabit down when all powered up and running.Ĭhange the cable modem from bridge to gateway mode (90 sec).Ĭhange the cable modem back from gateway to bridge mode (90 sec).
CGM4140COM MOCA TV
Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite (ERL-3) router behind itġ gigabit/30 megabit package + Ignite TV channels Instructions aren't needed.The POE filter was $9.99 on Amazon.Rogers Technicolor CGM4140COM in bridge mode The first one was missing the instruction booklet and an Ethernet cable, but not to worry. The Translite adapters were $89.99 each on Amazon and are plug and play.
Head upstairs to the bedroom, wait for the moca connection to be made by the second adapter, and I now have really fast internet upstairs (max I saw on Ookla was 880 Mb/s) without the pain of WiFi. CGM4140COM Ethernet port speed slower than WIFI I have a CGM4140COM modem/router.
Coax from the adapter (it has an output jack if your adapter doesn't have a coax output jack you'll need a splitter here) to the Shaw modem, Ethernet from the modem to the wifi router in the normal way, and finally a short Ethernet cable from one of the wifi router LAN ports back to the MOCA adapter. MoCA is enabled, on Channel D1 (1150 MHz), as it was on the old gateway. I reset the modem to bridged mode which automatically turned off the modem's moca capabilities.Ĭoax from the wall jack to the "MOCA" connection on the adapter. Obviously the shortcoming of this setup is that I couldn't use my external WiFi router with all its features, so I ordered a second Translite MOCA adapter and when it arrived I installed it in the living room. With a single MOCA adapter installed at point of use in this way, I saw speeds comparable to direct Ethernet connection to the modem (450 to 900 Mb/s depending on time of day, alignment of planets, who knows why Shaw speeds vary so much?). MOCA adapter installation was easy, simply connect the "moca" coax port on the adapter to the coax outlet in the bedroom, connect to wall outlet power, and run an Ethernet CAT5e or CAT6 cable to the computer. Once I saw this, I thought that my configuration upstairs would work but I still had no luck. I went into the modem administration, took it out of bridged mode (rendering my external WiFi router inoperative, more later), and turned on the resident moca function of the XB6 modem. I logged into the router and enabled MoCA and now I've gotten it to a point where the MoCA light about the coax port on the CGM4141 is a blinking white light (which means it's seeking a MoCA connection). The splitter had a ground lug so I grounded it to the ground strip nearby. Description This is a DOCSIS cable gateway device including the following functionalities: DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem. I confirmed the bedroom coax line (one of many unused lines) by jumping the central conductor to the shielding at the bedroom outlet and checking continuity in the basement. I got a decent quality 2-way splitter and installed it on the main coax line and connected both my living room coax and bedroom coax to the splitter. (Aside: later, I did a test with and without the POE filter and it made no difference to internet speed - no surprise there, but I was curious). I began by installing a POE filter at the coax service entrance next to the electrical panel. I wanted to get Ethernet from my AV setup in my living room, where the modem and a separate WiFi router are located, to a coax outlet in an upstairs bedroom now being used as an office. I figured I'd end up needing two, but I'd start with one just in case it worked.
I ordered a single Translite TL-MC84 MOCA adapter off of Amazon. Okay, I benefitted from reading this thread, so here's my experience with running MOCA on a Shaw Bluecurve XB6 Gigibit modem.
