I checked the cables, and found a loose RG6 connector, so I attached a new one. So I ran around the place attaching terminators to the NetGear's COAX OUT to no avail. (Would sit with the Verizon FiOS Screen). I couldn't tune in 513 (et.al), so I refreshed the box to no avail, and power cycled the box to no avail. Everything appeared to work, until I wanted to watch TV on the 6416. Shorter runs = better, right?Īll I did was move the Westell into the spot of the NetGear, and attach the NetGear to the LVGRM Leg 2 with a 3' RG6 cable. In my infinite wisdom, I decide to shorten my network and get the networking gear off of my desk. However, when I swap the 6200 in MSTR with a 2nd NetGear, I lose connectivity to the internet and the NetGears drop and re-establish. In the above configuration, every thing works 100%. Leg 2 goes to Westell 9100EM (router) (20 - 25' of cable) Leg 4 goes to LVGRM.(less than 20' of cable) Leg 3 WILL go to Ceton on Monday, it is now terminated. Leg 2 goes to Netgear MCAB1001 MoCA Adapter ( for PS3) (7' Cable) Leg 1 goes to the Hauppague 1600 in HTPC. Leg 2 goes to BDRM2.(About 10' of cable) Please note, this is an apartment with NO crawl spaces. Let me try to summarize my current layout. I experienced the same problem yesterday in the middle of my network re-work. If it doesn't, then you may have a defective box. If it works, then you need to start looking for bad connections, cables, unterminated outlets, etc. Preferably wired up as close to the ONT as possible temporarily to eliminate any house wiring and other factors as issues. If it doesn't come back or move on from the 4 dashes after a few minutes, disconnect all connections in the house (to eliminate the source of any problems) and reduce the components involve to be only the ONT, the router, a single splitter, and the STB. Try moving the "good" STB to the room where the dashes were occurring and see if it exhibits the same behavior. If it starts working, then you have a bad connection to the room where the malfunction box is located. If you have more than one STB in the house, try temporarily moving the failing STB to the connection where the working STB is located. Make sure all splitters are digital grade 1GHz or higher capable splitters and that there are no amplifiers in the system. Disconnect and reconnect each one to make sure that a bad connection didn't develop. Make sure you have a good internet connection and all the lights are working.Ĭheck all of the splitters in the house and make sure all the connections are good. If it can't communicate, you stay stuck at this point.įirst, try resetting your router. The four dashes come up at the point when the STB attempts to communicate across the Coax with your router to obtain an IP address so that it can go out and get it's guide data, etc.
