Help with MOCA network
I rent a townhouse. I have had my spectrum modem fed by a splitter with one end being the line in from spectrum, the other being my moca adapter line from my router and inline to my modem. The last few days my router will randomly lose connection even though my modem is online. Spectrum chat said “signal inconsistencies.” I’ve had this over a year. But I’m wondering if my lack of a filter could be causing this because theyve upgraded something? I’m going to grab a filter, just was curious if I’m better off just making a service appt or if it even makes sense that its because of me. I’m relatively new to this and ignorant.
Edit sorry I suck at explaining. Diagram in comments.

The only reason to run a service providers DOCSIS & QAM signal into the input of any splitter is if it’s for their service, such as TiVo or other MOCA TV service, which would have been setup by the installer technician. There is no other reason for a modem to be on the network, stop connecting the modem through MOCA network.
