No MOCA is my hopper defective?

[chapin4life]

Hi guys,

I had this setup for about two years 1 hopper & 2 joeys all of sudden today on both joey's its not detecting the hopper, in the hopper menu the MOCA is greyed out.

Checked all the cables everything seems fine, I tried one joey directly to the hopper via Ethernet and it finds the joey

What would cause 0 MOCA??

Bad node. Just to name one thing. Try a whole home reset. Unplug the joeys from power and coaxial. Leave unplugged, reset hopper. Once boots back up, plug joeys back in coaxial first. See if that does it.

node would be the first place then the hopper then cables
is the order I would check

That's what I was thinking. That's why I want to know if the whole home reset works.

No luck with reset

I might test another cable tomorrow but i think it's the node switch since I don't see anything physically different.

Guys I found the problem, I pulled the cable from under the deck found out it has been ripped off by squirrels, there is a bunch of them around my area.

That will most definitely cause that.

or a 22 if your rural or a bb gun if your in town kill them then I would clean and eat them but that is me.

Is squirrel even good? I feel it wouldn't give a whole lot of meat

 

[chapin4life]

I'm going to put the cables inside PVC

 

[Bobby]

That will definitely help!

Little grey squirrels, maybe not so much meat, but a big brown squirrel is good eating. Those pesky grey squirrels in my yard are eating the top of my expensive PVC fence.
