Re: Does the actiontec need to be MOCA when also using FIOS TV?
said by roveer  : Was this to backfeed the coax with internet connectivity for the STB's ? Haven't see you post in a while. Welcome back.
You are exactly correct. If your WAN connection is on cat5, the coax is used to backfeed the MOCA LAN to the STBs.
The WAN connection to the Actiontec can be either cat5 or coax. VZ's standard install is coax only, since it means running only one cable (coax) from the ONT to the main splitter and then to the Actiontec.
The STBs do not communicate directly with the ONT for guide data, VOD or widgets. All requests go across the MOCA LAN to the router, then out from the router over the WAN connection. The Actiontec does not care if the WAN connection is cat5 or coax. It will automatically detect which one is active. |

And, until they used up their inventory of Tellabs 611 ONTs, ethernet was the WAN data connection. The 612 was the first one in my area that had the MoCA WAN. |
