16 SWM Switch and Cinema Kit

[HTdoug]

I am trying to get internet access to all 16 H25-100's off of a 16 SWM. for some reason no matter how I try to hook it up I can only get internet access on 15 boxes.

I currently have the CCK going directly into a port on one of the 8 way splitters then a 1x2 green splitter going to two receivers with all receivers directly connected to the other 8 way splitters.

I have tried many other ways, ports, cables, different boxes but no matter what I do I can only get 15 boxes to connect to the local internet.
Any ideas or recommendations would be really welcomed. Thank You

I'm not a tech, so be patient, one of them will see your post and respond soon I'm sure.

Should work. Try using 2 decca on each side of the SWM and separating both with a band stop

DECA is limited to 16 devices and the DECA unit itself counts as one, thus you can only have 15 receivers on the same segment. If you split it into two segments with a DECA on each like Claude suggests it will work since each segment will have only 9 devices.

I didn’t know that it was limited to 16.

I don’t think I ever did a fully loaded SWM 16 without at least 1 dual tuner or genie device
