I saw one confirmed case of that happening so.

If you get a half competent tech they should be able to figure out if a neighbor got cheeky and tapped one of your lines with a MoCA adapter. If you live in an apartment or other building where you share walls with neighbors, it might be worth requesting a tech to come out and check line integrity. Doing a reset (like often happens when you disable MoCA) can finally get it to realize that the devices are no longer connected. Depending on how the extender handles NAT they might show up as individual devices or as one single connection.Ģ) Sometimes the Comcast modified Gateway firmware gets really goofy and starts retaining and showing devices as connected when they have long since disconnected, and often when this happens it will misreport the way the devices are connected. Generally, I saw one of two things happening when unexpected MoCA connected devices were showing up:ġ) Xfinity (or somebody) installed a wifi extender using MoCA and had some devices connected to it.

It stands for 'Multimedia over Coax Alliance.' It is a technology used to inject information - things like video, music, and Internet - through the existing cable lines in your home, instead of having to run dedicated ethernet cables or whatever might otherwise carry that info. MoCA is not related to the xfinity wifi hotspot.

I have an Android myself, but it's connected to my routers WiFi and has an appropriate IP in the 192.168.0.x network, so it's not my own phone showing up there (there's a total of 4 in any case)Īlso, I went to and looked up the Mac addresses of the devices.

If not, what is the MoCA network? I disabled it, and now those Android devices show as offline devices. Is this the 'xfinitywifi' that's broadcasted? I believe I had turned that off (through the Xfinity app under the home hotspot thing), so if that's the case then I'm pretty irked that people are still connecting to my shit. (In essence, there's a very small network on the 10.x.x.x network between my router and the Xfinity gateway.)Īnyways, I was looking in the config page of the Xfinity device and found that there are several Android devices connected to the MoCA network. I disabled the WiFi as it's horrible, and I have my own router behind the gateway to provide my home network. I have one of those Xfinity wireless gateway devices.
