When you discipline a child , it ' s not because you are angry and hate them . It ' s because they ' re immature and need to learn a lesson . It ' s possible to assess that someone is an egotistical asshat without being angry about it , it ' s just a matter of fact . Btw , I ' m also bemused that you ' re so insecure that you feel some ridiculous need to berate me into admitting that I ' m outraged when I ' m not . This exchange is really pretty funny . <| sep |> I ' m generally familiar with MoCa adapters . I don ' t currently use one , per se , but my TiVos use it for their communications . But one thing that stands out for me is that you ' re splitting your cable signal twice before you even get to your modem . Typically , a cable modem gets its signal first , via a tap looks like a two way splitter , only smaller , which ensures the signal to the modem is only degraded a certain amount say , 6 db , and whatever is left moves on to a normal splitter and is divided equally among the cable boxes . It ' s at that point , that i think you ' d want to inject the MoCa signal . Plus , I wonder if such a network requires a MoCa filter to keep the signal from hitting the modem . I have two of them , because of how the tap routes the signal one protects my modem from the TiVo MoCa , the other protects the TiVos from my neighbors ' MoCas .
