The Arris Xfinity TG1682 modem has integrated MoCA 2.0 home networking functionality that provides internet access and multimedia content transfer over coaxial cables. No detailed step-by-step instructions for setting up MoCA are provided in the context. However, the modem is pre-equipped for MoCA connectivity, and your cable company can assist with any special setup requirements. Ensure that your coaxial cable is properly connected, and check the MoCA indicator for connectivity between the modem and other MoCA-enabled devices.
