我最近购买了Actiontec MoCA 2.0 以太网到同轴电缆适配器(Actiontec MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax adapter)，因为我的整个房子都连接了同轴电缆，而且我最近升级到了也支持MoCA 2.0的(MoCA 2.0)FIOS Quantum 网关(FIOS Quantum Gateway)。
使用此适配器，我可以将LAN上的本地数据传输速率提高到 400 Mbps或 50 MB/s左右，而之前使用MoCA 1.1获得的速度约为 100 Mbps或 12.5 MB/s。
我最近还在我的另一个网站上写了一篇文章，解释了如果您的Internet有 FIOS，(Internet)升级到新的 Quantum 网关(upgrading to the new Quantum Gateway)是一个很好的举措。
尽管这是一个很棒的适配器，并且是少数支持MoCA 2.0的适配器之一，但它也存在一些问题。如果您阅读亚马逊(Amazon)上的评论，它要么很棒，要么经常掉线，必须重新启动。
幸运的是，Actiontec一直在通过新的固件更新来解决这个问题。不幸的是，我找不到一个网站可以告诉我如何更新适配器上的固件！最后，我联系了Actiontec的客户服务代表并了解了该程序。
在本文中，我将引导您完成连接到Actiontec ECB6200适配器上的 Web 界面并更新固件的过程。此外，我还将提供他们提供给我的最新固件的下载链接。此程序可能适用于 ECB6000，也可能不适用于ECB6000。
升级 ECB6200 固件
要开始使用，您必须断开同轴电缆与适配器的连接。完成此操作后，将以太网(Ethernet)电缆的一端插入适配器，另一端插入 Windows PC。
现在在您的Windows PC 上，我们必须更改一些网络设置，以便您可以连接到适配器上的 Web 界面。为此，请打开控制面板(Control Panel)并单击网络和共享中心(Network and Sharing Center)。确保从类别(Category)视图更改为小(Small)图标或大(Large)图标。
现在继续并单击左侧菜单中的更改适配器设置。(Change Adapter Settings)
右键单击以太网(Ethernet)或本地连接( Local Area Connection)并选择属性(Properties)。
从列表中选择Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)，然后单击属性(Properties)按钮。
继续并选择使用以下 IP 地址( Use the following IP address)单选按钮并输入以下数字，如下所示。对于 IP 地址，我选择了 192.168.144.5，但您可以为最后一个数字选择任何内容，只要它不以 .30 或 .1 结尾即可。
确保(Make)将默认网关设置为192.168.144.1。您不必为DNS服务器输入任何数字。单击确定(Click OK)，然后再次单击确定以返回控制面板(Control Panel)。现在打开 Web 浏览器并输入以下 IP 地址：192.168.144.30。
如果一切配置正确，您应该会看到一个简单的Actiontec网页，其中包含有关适配器的信息。其中SW 版本(SW Version)是Actiontec适配器的当前固件版本。撰写本文时的最新版本是 2.11.1.10.6200.1。

您可以从上面的链接下载最新的 Flash 版本。这是由Actiontec(Actiontec)直接发送给我的，我还确保使用 VirusTotal 对其进行扫描以确保它是干净的。现在单击SW Update并单击Browse按钮选择.BIN文件。在尝试上传文件之前，您显然必须先解压缩内容。
单击上传(Upload)按钮，它将开始上传。你会看到上传的百分比，一旦达到 100%，它应该会显示Done and Rebooting。请注意，此时它实际上并没有刷新屏幕。您应该等待一分钟左右，然后再次尝试刷新网页。
对我来说，我不得不更新其中的一些并遇到了一些问题。首先，上传时有时会卡在一定的百分比。我第一次尝试时，它达到了 87%，然后就坐在那里。最后，我拔掉了它，重新插入，然后再次尝试。它最终确实奏效了。
在另一个上，更新很顺利，但是当我将它连接回我在家中使用它的位置时，它会不断重启。电源灯会亮起，然后同轴灯会亮起，然后大约两秒钟后同轴灯会熄灭。然后电源灯会熄灭并再次亮起，然后与同轴灯相同。在那一个上，我必须在断开所有电缆后按住重置按钮约 10 秒钟，这解决了问题。
如果您在这篇文章撰写之日起几个月后阅读这篇文章，请务必通过 888-436-0657 直接与他们联系，或填写此在线技术支持表格(online technical support form) ，以通过电子邮件将最新固件版本发送给您。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！
How to Upgrade Actiontec ECB6200 Firmware
I rеcently pυrchased the Actiontec MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax adapter because my entire house is wired for coax and I recently upgraded to the FIOS Quantum Gateway that also supports MoCA 2.0.
Using this adapter, I could increase the local data transfer rate on my LAN to somewhere around 400 Mbps or 50 MB/s as compared to the previous speed I was getting with MoCA 1.1, which was around 100 Mbps or 12.5 MB/s.
I also recently wrote a post on my other site explaining how upgrading to the new Quantum Gateway is a good move if you have FIOS for your Internet.
Even though this is a great adapter and one of the very few out there to support MoCA 2.0, it also has some issues. If you read the reviews on Amazon, it’s either fabulous or it drops frequently and has to be restarted.
Luckily, Actiontec has been on top of this with new firmware updates. Unfortunately, I could not find one site that could tell me how to update the firmware on the adapter! Finally, I got in touch with the customer service reps at Actiontec and learned the procedure.
In this article, I’m going to walk you through the process of connecting to the web interface on the Actiontec ECB6200 adapter and updating the firmware. In addition, I’ll also provide a download link for the latest firmware that they provided me. This procedure may or may not work on the ECB6000.
Upgrade ECB6200 Firmware
To get started, you have to disconnect the coax cable from the adapter. Once you do that, go ahead and plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the adapter and the other end into a Windows PC.
Now on your Windows PC, we have to change some network settings so that you can connect to the web interface on the adapter. To do this, open Control Panel and click on Network and Sharing Center. Make sure you change from Category view to Small or Large icons.
Now go ahead and click on Change Adapter Settings in the left hand side menu.
Right-click on Ethernet or Local Area Connection and choose Properties.
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list and then click on the Properties button.
Go ahead and select the Use the following IP address radio button and type in the following numbers as shown below. For the IP address, I chose 192.168.144.5, but you can choose anything for the last number as long as it does not end with .30 or .1.
Make sure to set the default gateway to 192.168.144.1. You do not have to enter any numbers for the DNS servers. Click OK and then OK again to get back to the Control Panel. Now open a web browser and type in the following IP address: 192.168.144.30.
If everything is configured properly, you should see a simple Actiontec webpage with info about the adapter. Where it says SW Version is the current firmware version for the Actiontec adapter. The latest version as of this writing is 2.11.1.10.6200.1.

You can download the latest flash version from the link above. This was sent directly to me by Actiontec and I also made sure to scan it using VirusTotal to make sure it was clean. Now click on SW Update and click the Browse button to select the .BIN file. You obviously have to unzip the contents first before trying to upload the file.
Click the Upload button and it will start uploading. You’ll see the percent uploaded and once it reaches 100%, it should say Done and Rebooting. Note that it doesn’t actually refresh the screen at this point. You should wait a minute or so and then simply try to refresh the webpage again.
For me, I had to update a couple of these and ran into a few issues. Firstly, it would sometimes get stuck at a certain percentage when uploading. The first time I tried, it got to 87% and then just sat there. Eventually, I unplugged it, plugged it back in and then tried again. It did eventually work.
On another one, the update went fine, but when I connected it back in the location where I used it in my house, it would continuously power cycle. The power light would come up, then the coax light would come on and then the coax light would go out about two seconds later. The power light would then go out and back on again and then the same thing with the coax light. On that one, I had to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds after disconnecting all cables and that fixed the problem.
If you’re reading this post several months after the date it was written, be sure to contact them directly at 888-436-0657 or fill out this online technical support form to get the latest firmware version emailed to you. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
