Xe75-pro & Screenbeam 2.5
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi my equipment is Netgear Nighthawk cm-1200, xe75pro and Screenbeam bonded Moca 2.5 adapter. I have my modem connected via a 2 way splitter with the other end connected to the Moca adapter. I have an Ethernet cable connected from the Moca adapter to the first port on my modem. At another location I have a desktop pc which I connected another Moca adapter. Both of the coaxial lights come on for both Moca adapters and I get fast internet at my pc if it's connected directly to the 2nd Moca adapter.
However if I try to take the Ethernet cord from the pc and try to setup my xe75 pro it goes to red status and won't go green. I called Tp link support and they tried all kinds of troubleshooting but nothing worked. I called Screenbeam and they are telling me their products aren't compatible with TP-Link deco.
Does anyone know of any work arounds for this thanks.
Hi, welcome to the community.
Is your current network layout like this:
Since Netgear Nighthawk CM1200 is already a coaxial cable modem, do you have any specific reason to connect CM1200 to the MOCA adapter via an Ethernet cable？
Normally for your network situation, the desired network topology would be like this:
Cable service---Netgear CM1200---Deco XE75 pro
Or some users might want to create an Ethernet Backhaul between Decos via Moca adapters:
Cable service---Netgear CM1200---Deco XE75 pro----<Ethernet cable>---Moca#1-------------Moca#2---<Ethernet cable>----Deco XE75 pro #2
Thank you very much.
Wait for your reply.
Hi, Thanks for the update.
However, When I checked the user manual of Screenbeam ECB6250kit, I see something different:
(When I access supportsite.screenbean.com, it asked for registration before accessing any articles and so far the registration is still pending for approval.)

The other coaxial cable from the 2-way splitter(the yellow part) goes to the TV(Set-top box), not back into the cable modem router.
