Just google swm 32 diagram and should find many ways to do it, here is the "official way"

Is that way better than using a Sonora SWM-E2 to connect them?

Their is many different ways to do it, what you are suggesting I would say is the simplest to me.... some people just use 4 simple coax jumpers instead of that sonora adapter....

The E2 isn't even supplied to in house installers anymore, just power passing splitters.

You would need 2 broadband DECAs and as long as they are connected to the same router this should allow whole home across both SWM 16s

You need 2 deccas. Doesn't matter how you wore the switches.

That isn't necessarily true if you use diplexers

having never seen a SWM setup with more then 16 tuners, i would imagine the least problematic way would be to use 2 deca's. are you saying you could diplex the two 16's together and just install a single deca?

This is from solid signal, it shows it quite well, it will also work via genie to distribute the internet as well, just terminate the port on the 4 way splitter.

That is interesting. I always seem to have issues with the 2 deccas seeing each other as they run through my home network.

I wonder if there would be any benefit using a separate router to keep all the ip addresses on a separate network ?

 

[Zashel]

i know its a hassle, but have you ever tried assigning the boxes IP's addresses?
