My HR34 unit was locking me out multiple times an hour. It wouldn't accept input from the remote or the buttons on the front. The DECA was working, but I moved it to the bedroom to get it closer to the bedroom unit, erroneously thinking it was required for that box to have network access and that the RG59 cable between the genie and the bedroom box might be causing a problem. And I connected the main genie box directly to the router. Both systems were working fine connected this way, but I see where there could be a network issue if I didn't remove the DECA. I didn't want to put the DECA back in the loop because I didn't want to use extra equipment and have all those cabled hanging around if I didn't have to and it seemed to get fairly hot. I like to keep things simple if I can. To me 1 Ethernet cable is much better than a DECA with it's power adapter and coax connection, the splitter and three coax cables used to get it in the loop. The system seems to have stopped locking me out so far.
