the LAN to the 10/100/1000 Base-TX interface. Likewise, the MWA1221 products bridges Ethernet frames
received on the 10/100/1000 Base-TX interface to the MoCA interface, which in turn forwards to the MoCA
connected LAN. The MWA1221 product also extends the Wi-Fi coverage within the home, bridging Ethernet
frames received on MoCA to the WLAN and likewise from the WLAN to MoCA. One can also connect an IP
Client to the Ethernet interface in the MOCA backhaul case. The IP client set-top box product connected to
Ethernet interface may also receive Ethernet frames from the WLAN from devices in communication with the IP
client set-top box product and likewise send Ethernet frames to the WLAN to devices that the IP client set-top box
is in communication with. The MWA1221 would use a static private IP address of 192.168.100.101 on the
