Abstract

See full text

An entry device for communicating external network signals between an in-home network and an external network, for communicating in-home network signals within the in-home network, and for preventing the in-home network signals from being communicated from the in-home network to the external network, the entry device includes a signal attenuation and communication device comprising one or more directional couplers, the signal attenuation and communication device being configured to permit upstream and downstream external network signals to communicate between an entry port and a first network work, and between the entry port and a second network port, and to block and permit communication of in-home network signals between the first network port, the second network port, and the entry port at least partially depending on a direction in which the in-home network signals are travelling.
