I am moving to a condominium I own and am considering having Uverse installed. I cannot find certain specifications related to Uverse hardware and would appreciate help from anyone that can provide the needed information.
The HOA includes Standard Basic Cable in the HOA maintenance fee. This prevents using the existing coaxial cable, with one exception, to distribute the signal from the RG to locations where I want to install STB's, if I want to continue to receive the Standard CATV service. HPNA is not compatible with digital cable because it uses the same frequency range which digital cable uses for the upstream return path. I want to continue to receive standard basic cable service because it includes certain channels that are not carried by AT&T.
When this building was constructed the builder ran the connection to the CATV outlets in a Daisey Chain configuration rather than a star configuration. I was told by the installer that installed my structured wiring cabinet that a previous resident must have rented a whole home DVR because the Tap Offs are approved for use with MoCA.
There are several CAT5E cables, two of which run from the structured wiring cabinet to the two locations where I want to install STB's. There is one location in the apartment where a dedicated coaxial cable, not connected to the Daisey chain, runs directly from the Structured wiring cabinet to an coaxial outlet where I want to install a STB. It is believed that the dedicated cable was for a cable modem.
1) Can the installer use the coaxial port on the RG to connect one STB via the dedicated coaxial cable and still use an Ethernet Port to connect the other STB's through an AT&T approved switch.
2) Can 3 set top boxes can be connected to one Ethernet Port on the RG if an AT&T approved Netgear GS108NA 8 Port Switch is used.
3) Can the coaxial port on an MoCA adapter be connected at the point where the coaxial cable enters the apartment and the Ethernet Port on the MoCA adapter be connected to an Ethernet Port on the RG, to provide a bridge so that additional MoCA adapters can be installed at critical locations, where CATV Connections exist and STB's are to be installed? The Ethernet port on the MoCA adapter would be connected to an Ethernet Port on the RG so the IPTV data stream can be passed to locations where there are no CAT5E cable connections. Would there be any problem connecting three STB's via three MoCA adapters.
4) If an HPNA adapter is connected to the dedicated coaxial cable from the coaxial port on the RG through a splitter, can the Ethernet Port(S) on the HPNA adapter be used to connect Set Top Boxes?
