Hi all,
So I'm trying to switch out my FIOS-provided Actiontec router with some Ubiquiti eqiuipment (USG, 8-port switch, and AP Pro). The problem is, I'm currently unable to run ethernet from my ONT to the USG. Additionally, I have several TV Set Top Boxes which all run on coaxial.
So I purchased an Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter (ECB6200S02). The idea being that I would run my main coaxial line to that and then have ethernet coming out to my Ubiquiti USG. So the configuration looked like this:
ONT > (coaxial) > MoCA adapter Coax In port > MoCA adapter Coax Out port > (coaxial) > Coaxial splitter (where all of my TV STBs are connected) > MoCA adapter Ethernet port > (ethernet) > USG WAN port
*I hope the above is clear. Please let me know if I can provide more details.
With this current setup, my Unifi Controller software does not detect my USG during setup. However, I am able to ping the gateway (in this case 192.168.1.1) and also browse to the gateway to configure options on the WAN side (?) of the USG.
Additionally, my USG does not get any Internet connection. Interestingly, when I tried to swap out my USG for my original FIOS Actiontec router in this same configuration, I also could not get an Internet connection. I'm going to test more with the MoCA adapter to see if the issue may lie there.
So what I'm hoping to get assistance with is:
1.) Any thoughts on my why USG would not show up as a detected device in the Unifi controller, even though I can ping and browse to the gateway?
2.) Has anyone else tried the Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter (ECB6200S02)? Did you have success in setting it up? Did I do something wrong in my current configuration?
I'd REALLY appreciate any help anyone could offer. I was up until 2:30AM the other night trying to get this to work so I'm bit frustrated with it, hehe. Thank you!!
