CREATING A MOCA NETWORK USING YOUR TIVO BOX
Simply connect your TiVo box to your home network using an Ethernet cable. Make sure the coax cable is also
connected. Then:
1. Go to 'Settings & Messages' > 'Network Settings' > 'Change Network Settings.'
2. Select 'MoCA.'
3. Choose 'Set up as Bridge.'
4. Confirm the default MoCA settings. Note: Use the default settings unless a professional installer instructs
you to change them.
5. Congratulations! You've enabled MoCA throughout your home. You can connect MoCA-ready devices (like
other TiVo BOLT DVRs, TiVo Roamio Plus/Roamio Pro DVRs, and TiVo Minis) to your MoCA home network
through the coax cable.
Devices that aren't MoCA-ready, like the four-tuner TiVo Roamio and TiVo Roamio OTA, can easily join the
MoCA home network using a MoCA network adapter, available at
To learn more about installing and using MoCA, including how to secure your MoCA network, visit

1. From the TiVo Central screen, go to 'Settings & Messages' > 'Network Settings' > 'Change Network
Settings.'
2. Select 'MoCA.'
3. Choose 'Set up as Client.'
4. Confirm the default MoCA settings. Note: Use the default settings unless a professional installer instructs
you to change them.

WIRELESS SETTINGS

Note: If you want to use the box to stream shows to/from other TiVo boxes or to your mobile devices, a wired
Ethernet or MoCA connection is recommended. Wireless connection speeds may not be not fast enough to
stream shows reliably.
To connect to your wireless network, you may need the name (SSID) of your wireless network and its password/
key (if any).
Enter Wireless Network Name: This screen lists the names of nearby wireless networks that your TiVo box has
been able to identify.
• If your network's name is listed, move to it and press SELECT. (Press CHANNEL UP/DOWN - the vertical
oval button on the right between the arrow circle and the PAUSE circle on your remote - to scroll down
through all the network names on the screen.)
• If your network's name is not listed, select 'Enter network name' to enter the name manually, then select
'Finished entering text.'
Enter Network Password: If your network has a password, enter it and then select 'Finished entering network
password.' If your network does not have a password, select 'My network doesn't have a password.'
