MoCA support
This problem is related to #Bizarre network behavior, unable to communicate with VM but can ping but separate. Basically a separate segment of my network is failing for unknown reasons. Homelab still has problems, but completely separate problems. Instead, my MoCA link to my home wifi is no longer working. See the diagram.
Basically, we had a power outage a few days ago. After the power came back on after a few very good chapters of Project Hail Mary, the internet was working mostly fine for everyone in the home. It worked fine until the next morning when the wi-fi cut out. I tested my homelab setup and my homelab setup was fine aside from the known issues; I'm typing this message from my homelab right now. Even my dad was able to get his meetings working once I gave him a direct connection into my network.
I tested out every part of the network I could. I wired up everything I could think of. About the only thing I can think of that I could test is the home's MoCA wiring itself. I tested all other cables, that's why I was able to mark them as good. The only thing left to be bad is the MoCA adapters themselves. When I took the known good cable and connected the adapters to each other, I didn't see the MoCA light turn on. The ethernet lights did seem to turn on, but the MoCA lights did not. I can only assume that the adapters themselves have failed somehow, or my home wiring is to blame and I need to replace it. Somehow.
