Section 4: Problems with Home Networking
Moxi features that require my Home Network are not performing consistently.
What are the Home Networking requirements?
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.
Moxi
configuration
# of Moxi devices
simultaneously in use
Connection
speed
Recommended Connection types
for optimal performance*
Single room
Moxi HD DVR
N/A
100 Mbps
Wired (for best performance)
MoCA adapters
Powerline AV adapters
Note: Wireless adapters/bridges
may be sufficient if you are NOT
performing DLNA video streaming or
downloading large amounts of data.
Multi-room
(Multiple HD
DVRs and/or
Mates)
One Moxi HD DVR in use
while two other Moxi
Devices (HD DVR or
Mate) are streaming live
or recorded content.
100 Mbps or
higher
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 AV
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.
