PROBLEM

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Lost my Internet connection
after connecting the
SBM1400 and SBM1100
adapters to my cable
modem/router (gateway)

Reboot the router and recheck if you can get LAN side

connection to Internet.
If not, then power OFF both MoCA Adapters to confirm this
is the problem. If turning OFF the MoCA adapters restores

Internet access, then install a MoCA filter (included in the
box) between the splitter and the cable modem/router,

reconnect the MoCA adapter, and retest.

The signal on my TV is
impaired after I connect it to
the MoCA adapter

If the video on your TV is impaired, do the following:
• Remove the MoCA adapter and RF splitter and then

connect the coaxial cable directly to the set-top box.

Confirm that the signal is clean. If it is still impaired, then
there is a problem with your TV service. Please contact

your service provider.

• Confirm that the MoCA adapter is installed exactly as

recommended in Planning Your Installation.

• Make sure that all cables are securely connected.

Remember to only hand-tighten the coaxial cables.

Forgot the IP address to my
MoCA adapter

Do the following to restore the MoCA adapter to its factory
default configuration:
• Press and hold the Reset button on the rear of the

SBM1000 adapter for at least five seconds, but no more

than 15 seconds.

WARNING!

Resetting to the factory defaults will

erase any personal configuration settings on the MoCA

adapter.

Formed a link, but incurring
packet errors

If you formed a link and your data rate is low or you are

incurring a large number of packet errors, try the following:
• Check to make sure all of your cable connections are

securely tightened.
