1.1 Installing for Cable with Separate Cable Modem & Router

Figure 7 – Cable Installation with Separate Cable Modem & Router

Follow these steps to set up the SBM1000 MoCA adapters in your home network, if you are
receiving your Internet service through a cable modem and router:
1. Identify the rooms that you want to add to your home network and make sure there is a

coaxial cable connection in each room.

2. Locate the cable wall outlet (or RF splitter) and electrical wall outlet in the first room (see

Room 1 in Figure 7).
Note

: Although the SBM1100 and SBM1400 adapters are interchangeable, the SBM1400 is

typically located where more than one Ethernet connection is required (see Room 1 in Figure
7).

3. Check if the coaxial cable is connected to an RF splitter. If it is not, then disconnect the cable

from your Smart TV or set-top box and connect it to the IN connector on one of the RF

splitters (included).

4. Connect one of the coaxial cables (included) to the OUT connector on the RF splitter and

your Smart TV or set-top box (see Figure 8).
Note

: You can use either OUT connector on the RF splitter (included) for this installation.

5. Connect a second coaxial cable (included) to the other OUT connector on the RF splitter and

the Coax In connector on the SBM1400 (see Figure 8).
