| Does anyone know of a good 2 way booster that will work? I dont really want Verizon in my work shop I have some priceless cars that I would rather a stranger not know about. I heard that the PDI and the Motorola both work. I did put the STB on another line in the house and its fine, I doubt the line is bad as its brand new w/ good connectors. I not too familiar w/ db loss but I thought by splitting it immediately than boosting it would helps. Also would it help to put a Drop Amp or 2 way booster on each end of the run or is that overkill? Should I be boosting the modem as well as the run to the shop? a friend who works in the industry found this but has no experience with it »www.cabletvamps.com/Products/EDA-FT08100.htm. any further help on this would be great. |

| have you tried checking your signal level either in the self diagnostics with guide version 1.6 or on the diagnostics screen when you press menu, select, select for older guides?
if you have 1.6, the self diagnostics will also show if you have an ip address, which would tell you if the moca signal is getting through. |

if all of this is greek to you, it's time to buck up and let vz take care of it.
and no disrespect to your "car collection", but unless you're hiding dead bodies or a massive grow operation, most techs wouldn't be slightly phased by what you have.
anyone who's spent even a short amount of time in the field working in people's homes have seen so much crazy stuff that it doesn't even phase most of us. |
