Is the Motorola SURFboard Model SB6141 MoCA enabled?
Trying to establish a MoCA network with my new Tivo Roamio Pro, but it appears I might need a MoCA-enabled Cable Modem, This model came up in my MoCA search on Best Buy, but can't find the spec that says it's MoCA-enabled. Thanks,
The Motorola SURFboard SB6141 does not come with a MoCA filter, and does not have MoCA built in, but, your cable company should provide you with an adapter that will fit on the SURFboard for no extra charge.
I added the Cox Whole Home DVR service about a year ago, and yes, any of the cable services that create a "local network" inside your house for their DVR service (where one DVR can access another), require a MoCA filter to be added to your cable modem, since the signal used by the DVR network can interfere with the signal used by your cable modem for Internet.
When I first got Cox Whole Home DVR installed, it was a fairly new service, and was causing minor and intermittent packet loss on my Internet connectivity, which I didn't notice at first. But once I did, I had a series of techs out over a period of a few months, and each one had their own opinion about the MoCA's configuration -- the final tech who was out said he had just attended a seminar on MoCA, and the proper way to install it was on the modem itself, but separated by a jumper (so from my modem, there is a tiny run of coax, then the MoCA, then another coax run that connects to the wall fitting).
Good luck!
