Installing a MoCA Adapter with a Verizon® 

set top box 

If you wish to use a MoCA adapter near a Verizon set top box, 

you must install a splitter. Verizon set top boxes use MoCA to 

communicate with the router. Connecting a Coax cable from 

the MM1025’s device port to the Verizon set top box will 

prevent features like on-demand and channel guide from 

working. Your splitter should be MoCA compatible.

MoCA security 

We recommend some form of MoCA security if you have 
cable Internet service, especially if you are located within 150 
yards (137 meters) of another home with cable Internet 
service. If instead you have FiOS or some other form of fiber 
optic Internet service, you already have MoCA security so 
you don’t need to read this section. 

MoCA security for cable Internet service comes from either of 
the following: 

 

Add a PoE filter where the coax cable enters your home. 
This prevents your MoCA signal from being transmitted to 
one of your neighbors and can also improve your cable 
service’s signal.
