Home Network Setup

Can I use a wireless network adapter with my Moxi HD DVR?

A wireless network adapter can be used with most Moxi features, but due to the limited

bandwidth of a wireless connection, a 100Mbps wired Ethernet connection is recommended for

best performance particularly for DLNA video streaming or downloading large amounts of data.

Are the Home Network requirements different for single and multi-room Moxi

configurations?

Yes, the Home Network connection requirements depend on the Moxi configuration being used.

Refer to the following table to determine the Home Network requirements for your configuration.

Wired

MoCA adapters (We recommend

any MoCA adapter kit that can

transfer speeds over 100 Mbps.

Most MoCA Ethernet adapter kits

support 200 Mbps or higher)

Powerline AV adapters (e.g.,

HomePlug 1.0 AV). HomePlug

Alliance-certified PowerLine

adapters can enable a reliable

high speed network connection

of up to 200 Mbps. Powerline AV

adapters with a lower throughput

are unlikely to work for multi-

room configurations.

*Home Networking equipment sold separately by various manufacturers.

For Media Link to function properly, make sure that:
