How do I upgrade my existing MoCA setup for better performance?

To improve your MoCA setup’s performance:  

  1. Ensure all devices use MoCA 2.5 (like the ECB6250) and avoid mixing with older versions (e.g., MoCA 2.0). 
  2. Replace old or low-quality coax cables and splitters with MoCA-compatible ones. 
  3. Minimize splitter use to reduce signal attenuation. 
  4. Update firmware to the latest version (check and download via the ECB6250 GUI). 
  5. Add a MoCA 2.5-compatible switch for additional connection points if needed.

Besides, you should check your ISP-provided device (e.g., Xfinity gateway) as well—many ISP modems, such as Xfinity’s XB6 or XB7, only support MoCA 2.0. If this is the case, it could bottleneck your network’s performance despite other upgrades.
