Installing a MoCA Adapter with a Verizon®
set top box
If you wish to use a MoCA adapter near a Verizon set top box,
you must install a splitter. Verizon set top boxes use MoCA to
communicate with the router. Connecting a Coax cable from
the MM1025’s device port to the Verizon set top box will
prevent features like on-demand and channel guide from
working. Your splitter should be MoCA compatible.

MoCA security
We recommend some form of MoCA security if you have
cable Internet service, especially if you are located within 150
yards (137 meters) of another home with cable Internet
service. If instead you have FiOS or some other form of fiber
optic Internet service, you already have MoCA security so
you don’t need to read this section.
MoCA security for cable Internet service comes from either of
the following:
•
Add a PoE filter where the coax cable enters your home.
This prevents your MoCA signal from being transmitted to
one of your neighbors and can also improve your cable
service’s signal.
