MoCA privacy is when you log into the ECB and enable security, then either use the default password or set a custom password on the Network Security Setup section of the Security page to secure the connection between your MoCA 2.5 devices. It is disabled by default on all our devices. This picture shows what it looks like when it is enabled.   ![Screenshot 2025-04-17 091908](https://residential.screenbeam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/MoCA/Screenshot%202025-04-17%20091908.png?width=688&height=156&name=Screenshot%202025-04-17%20091908.png) Who needs to use MoCA privacy?  Most basic users do not need to use this feature, as it is meant for users who share a coax connection with another user. What we mean by a shared connection is like in an apartment building, your coax connection is usually shared between the different tenants of the building, and usually only separated by a splitter. Also, business owners who are in a shopping center or office buildings in different suites sometimes share a coax connection that is only separated by splitters to the different suites. These users would want to enable MoCA Privacy. Some homeowners may want to use this depending on certain circumstances.   ### Things to keep in mind - All Actiontec and ScreenBeam ECBs have the same default password. - Security is disabled by default. This is done on purpose, as most applications do not require this to be enabled. - Some MoCA device manufacturers have this enabled by default. Please contact them directly to find out more about their devices. - The MPS button does not turn this feature on. - Enhanced Privacy is not the same thing as MoCA privacy. - [General FAQ's](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and Configuration](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#installation-and-configuration) - [Troubleshooting and Optimization](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-and-optimization) - [Hardware and Compatibility](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#hardware-and-compatibility) - [Advanced Features](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#advanced-features) - [Maintenance and Updates](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#maintenance-and-updates) - [Understanding MoCA](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#understanding-moca) - [Purchasing](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#purchasing) - [Customization and Scalability](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#customization-and-scalability) - [Security and Privacy](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#security-and-privacy) - [ECB7250](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/ecb7250?hsLang=en) - [ECB6250](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/ecb6250?hsLang=en) - [ECB6200](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/ecb6200?hsLang=en) - [End of Life Products](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#main-content) - [MyWirelessTV 2 - Wireless HD Transmitter & Receiver Kit](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#mywirelesstv-2-wireless-hd-transmitter-receiver-kit) - [MyWirelessTV 3 - 4K Wireless HD Connection Kit](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#mywirelesstv-3-4k-wireless-hd-connection-kit) - [ScreenBeam Mini 2](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-mini-2) - [ScreenBeam Mini 2 Kit (ScreenBeam Mini 2 & USB Transmitter)](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-mini-2-kit-screenbeam-mini-2-usb-transmitter) - [ScreenBeam USB Transmitter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-usb-transmitter) - [ScreenBeam USB Transmitter 2](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-usb-transmitter-2) - [ScreenBeam Wireless Display Receiver](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-wireless-display-receiver) - [ScreenBeam Wireless Adapter Kit (with The ScreenBeam Display Adapter Receiver & USB Transmitter)](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-wireless-adapter-kit-with-the-screenbeam-display-adapter-receiver-usb-transmitter) - [ScreenBeam Wireless Adapter Kit (with The ScreenBeam Display Adapter Receiver & USB Transmitter 2)](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-wireless-adapter-kit-with-the-screenbeam-display-adapter-receiver-usb-transmitter-2) - [ECB2500C - MoCA Network Adapter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb2500c-moca-network-adapter) - [ECB5240M - MoCA Network Adapter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb5240m-moca-network-adapter) - [ECB6000 - MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb6000-moca-2-0-network-adapter) - [ECB6200 - Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter Branded Actiontec](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb6200-bonded-moca-2-0-network-adapter-branded-actiontec) - [WCB3000N - 802.11n Wireless Network Extender](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#wcb3000n-802-11n-wireless-network-extender) - [WCB6200Q - 802.11ac Wireless Network Extender](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#wcb6200q-802-11ac-wireless-network-extender) - [WEB6000Q - 802.11ac Wireless Network Extender With Gigabit Ethernet](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#web6000q-802-11ac-wireless-network-extender-with-gigabit-ethernet) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://residential.screenbeam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ScreenBeamLogo-2in.webp?width=194&height=24&name=ScreenBeamLogo-2in.webp "Chill listening crop-3")](http://www.screenbeam.com)   Copyright © 2025, ScreenBeam Inc.
