The issue is that the Actiontec box does not bring everything back up after power cycle (so it is on a UPS). An alternative is to use a pair of MOCA modems to do MOCA to Ethernet (and back to get to the DVR box). But it requires a bunch of changing of MOCA frequencies; so I haven't gotten around to setting it up. _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
