Gary,
You need to differentiate what works vs what is supported.
MoCA is supported. If it breaks Dish needs to fix it. TP (wired) and WiFi can work, but the impetus should be on the customer to support. Dish didn't install and check the wiring or the throughput of the LAN to determine ability to meet their requirements.
I fully understand the difference. However, there were those who said Dish was wise not to enable it, who now think it's cool they did, supported or not. That's all I was pointing out.
I've always said they should
enable whole-home over TP, and even wi-fi. I never said it had to be officially
supported. I, and many others, felt it would be a viable choice. And, as it turns out, it is. (If they don't disable it at some point.)
It's odd that a couple of network-related things that Dish said would be disabled at the start, were quite functional, such as the Ethernet port on the Joey and the 2nd port on the Hopper.
