Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Xfinity CA010AAB MoCA Network Adapter kit:

1. Identify Coaxial Outlets: Locate the coaxial outlets in your home or office where you want to extend your Ethernet network.
2. Connect First Adapter (Near Router/Modem):
   • Disconnect the existing coaxial cable from your router/modem.
   • Connect this coaxial cable to the 'IN' port of the provided MoCA splitter.
   • Connect one of the included coaxial cables from an 'OUT' port of the splitter to your router/modem's coaxial input.
   • Connect another included coaxial cable from a different 'OUT' port of the splitter to the 'Coax In' port on the first MoCA adapter.
   • Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the first MoCA adapter and the other end into an available LAN port on your router/modem.
   • Connect the power adapter to the first MoCA adapter and plug it into an electrical outlet.
3. Connect Second Adapter (In Desired Room):
   • In the room where you need Ethernet access, locate a coaxial outlet.
   • Connect one end of an included coaxial cable to this coaxial outlet and the other end to the 'Coax In' port on the second MoCA adapter.
   • Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the second MoCA adapter and the other end into your Ethernet-enabled device (e.g., computer, gaming console, smart TV).
   • Connect the power adapter to the second MoCA adapter and plug it into an electrical outlet.
4. Verify Connection: Once both adapters are powered on, check the indicator lights on the adapters. The 'Power', 'Coax', and 'Ethernet' lights should turn green, indicating a successful connection.

Operating Instructions

Once the MoCA adapters are successfully set up and connected, they operate automatically. The adapters create a high-speed Ethernet bridge over your existing coaxial cables, allowing any connected Ethernet device to access the network. No further configuration is typically required for basic operation.

• Power On: Ensure both MoCA adapters are continuously powered for uninterrupted network access.
• Device Connectivity: Connect your Ethernet-enabled devices directly to the Ethernet port on the MoCA adapter in your desired room.
• Indicator Lights:
  • Power Light: Solid green indicates the adapter is powered on.
  • Coax Light: Solid green indicates a successful MoCA connection between adapters.
  • Ethernet Light: Solid green indicates an active Ethernet connection to a device. Blinking indicates data transfer.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your MoCA Network Adapters, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Keep Ventilated: Ensure the adapters are placed in well-ventilated areas to prevent overheating.
• Clean Regularly: Gently wipe the exterior of the adapters with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners.
• Cable Integrity: Periodically check all coaxial and Ethernet cable connections to ensure they are secure and undamaged.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates to ensure the best performance and compatibility.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MoCA Network Adapters, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power Light:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the MoCA adapter and a working electrical outlet.
  • Try a different electrical outlet.
• Coax Light Not Green:
  • Verify all coaxial cable connections are tight and secure.
  • Ensure the MoCA splitter is correctly installed and functioning.
  • Check if your coaxial network is compatible with MoCA technology.
  • Ensure both MoCA adapters are powered on.
• Ethernet Light Not Green/No Internet:
  • Check the Ethernet cable connection between the MoCA adapter and your device/router. Try a different Ethernet cable.
  • Ensure your connected device is functioning correctly.
  • Restart your router/modem and both MoCA adapters.
• Slow Speeds:
  • Ensure all cables are high-quality and properly connected.
  • Minimize interference from other devices on your coaxial network.
  • Check your internet service provider's speed.
