Home MoCA connection with XB8 gateway

I currently have an XB8 gateway and am running into issues with the MoCA setup. The way my network is connected right now is as follows: 1st floor coax outlet -> coax splitter -> one output into XB8 -> one ethernet port to a router. 2nd floor coax outlet -> MoCA adapter -> desktop PC.

Am I just missing a PoE filter on the input side of the splitter on the 1st floor? Or is it possible that my coax outlet on the 2nd floor isnt connected? Or do i need to feed a coax into the splitter again from the gateway?

Is the splitter MoCA compliant (5-1675 MHz) such as this one ?

And by all means, be sure to install a MoCA POE filter.

The last time I checked, I saw that my splitter was indeed 5-1675 MHz, but I don't think it specifically said whether it was MoCA capable or not. Does that part matter, or, is the frequency range the important bit?

@Chrisis_L EG gave some great tips. Have you had the chance to check those out? Next I would say we move to confirming if that outlet is active, if it's not, we can send a tech out to activate it.

That's the correct splitter. Perhaps there is a non-compliant one hidden somewhere behind a wall ? Or as you said, maybe that second floor outlet isn't connected. Can you trace the wiring and see ? Are you sure that the MoCA feature is enabled in the XB8 ?
