If that doesn't resolve the MoCA connection, one other 'off book' tool is to try a MoCA POE filter on the input of the first splitter to enter the home.

If you have an issue with MoCA only, the recommended course of remedies, is to upgrade all of the splitters to MoCA 2.0 rated ones. The point is that a blanket recommendation to use an amp instead of a standard Verizon MoCA rated splitter is not well founded for the overwhelming majority of situations, just as it was for the OP. Verizon used to use a 10dB MoCA by-pass amp, the PD1-MBA-101-A, in situations where either the overall signal was low, a rare occurrence, or more often on long runs where several splitters were cascaded to reach some equipment/boxes.

Your amps may indeed work better than the original splitters you had in place for both MoCA and the TV signal, but because Verizon normally has an extremely 'hot' signal, one of Verizon's 'MoCA 2.0' rated splitters usually works fine for both both. In fact, most older standard amplifiers although rated below 1GHz in their specs, actually blow passed their stated limit and will interfere/block the MoCA frequencies.

They 'by-pass'/leave the MoCA frequencies above untouched although some of the better ones are designed to have less port isolation at the MoCA frequencies to allow the MoCA signals to pass more easily. MoCA friendly amps are normally referred to as 'MoCA by-pass amplifiers' because they only amplify the frequencies below 1GHz, the TV channels. I am pretty sure by 'powered splitter' you actual mean an amplified splitter. I know the old MoCA Ethernet Adapters (you can buy them from Amazon) and even the new ones (you can also buy from Amazon) have TV OUT feeds but you shouldn't use it as it causes a lot of problems.Actually, it causes one problem, it won't pass the MoCA frequencies, period. I had really thought the whole 'use the splitter feed rather than the MoCA Bridge feed' and 'use powered splitters' was something that already existed on the Wiki. Prior to the powered splitters, MoCA LAN was unsable and STBs got average to poor signal except for the one closest to the router but after setting up powered splitters as I stated above, MoCA LAN is like being right next to the router - these splitters which I got shortly after I got FiOS maxed out both MoCA 1.1 and now MoCA 2.0 speeds and the VMS which also is paired with a MoCA-Ethernet bridge to a Netgear 24-port switch has never had any issues. Without the powered splitters, my MoCA LAN struggles because the home is large for just the router's output. Most people think a splitter will cause degradation (and it can) but if setup correctly such as using powered splitters with one feed direct to the STB and one feed direct to the MoCA-Ethernet bridge you shouldn't have any issues (or in lieu of STB, to another MoCA device). I had shot a picture of one that I posted on DSLR of the ones I've been using for years (3GHz and either 2dBi or 5dBi power forget which). I know the old MoCA Ethernet Adapters (you can buy them from Amazon) and even the new ones (you can also buy from Amazon) have TV OUT feeds but you shouldn't use it as it causes a lot of problems. I had thought this was on the Wiki, if from what I am reading I am understanding correctly, you had the MoCA Ethernet Adapter feeding both the TV and the LAN without the splitter anymore? Dropped a splitter to feed both and all is wellI really had hoped I saw this thread sooner - given my entire current house runs MoCA to Ethernet LAN and has for many years I would have lent some advice. Out via the Moca Adapter was the culprit.

For the Wiki, indeed it was the connection point.
