What is the Enhanced Network Security Setup for in the ECB6250?

Enhanced Network Security is designed to provide a higher level of protection for data transmitted over your home coaxial network. This feature utilizes more robust security protocols by enforcing longer passwords and employing unique encryption keys between MoCA 2.1-compatible devices, in contrast to the earlier MoCA 1.1 and MoCA 2.0 standards, which used shorter passwords and shared keys. Additionally, Enhanced Network Security offers granular control over data forwarding, allowing you to manage how legacy MoCA nodes interact with newer MoCA 2.1 devices. According to the Multimedia over Coax Alliance, these improvements are part of the advanced security enhancements introduced in the MoCA 2.5 standard, providing improved defense against unauthorized access and greater flexibility in managing your network’s connected devices.

We recommend leaving this setting at its default value. Enhanced Network Security is automatically activated on the ECB6250 to ensure seamless compatibility with older MoCA devices in your network, simplifying the process of adding and connecting legacy equipment without manual adjustments. Rest assured, enabling this feature will not interfere with the operation of any other device functions, including MoCA Privacy protection, so your network remains secure and your experience remains uninterrupted.
