Motorola MoCA Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax, Plug and Play, Ultra Fast Speeds, Boost Home Network for Better Streaming and Gaming (1 Gbps – MoCA 2 Pack)

Used devices as media converters to use the coax connections in the house for extending Ethernet connections to wifi nodes. Worked great.

I used one of these at my smart TV, to allow the coax cable to also double as a wired Ethernet connection to the TV Wi-Fi. The other one I used in an upstair bedroom that was wired with coax cable and now provides a wired Ethernet connection to a laptop. No more harmful Wi-Fi and speed is better. No need to rewire the walls with Ethernet cable! Also, with FiOS, only one of these is needed per end device. No need for one at the Router end. FiOS routers already support MoCa. No software setup needed. It just works.

I have installed FiOS, but, I have needed to connect from Electric Room to the other room. but, it is blocked with couple of wall. Fortunately, there is a coax connection. so, I have tried with it. at electric room, connect from FiOS to MM1002 by Ethernet Cable, and I have connect a Coax and, installed the other MM1002 adapter at the other room. connect a Ethernet Cable between MM1002 and My Router. and, Coax on MM1002. Just plug in, and power-up. my FiOS service is 300Mbps, it shows Up/Down 300Mbps perfectly. Coax cable is very old one, and, Distance is around 50 feets

First of all, you only need to order one. I ordered two because I failed to read the write-up thoroughly; thought I needed to order two. But each order comes with a pair (makes sense!). I had a TV cable that ran between my house and my garage and the distance was too great to connect by WiFi. This product did the trick. Easily installed at each end of the cable run and with a power connection and an ethernet cable attached, I had internet in my garage. Worked like a charm!!!

As I was “cutting the cord” and needed to get Ethernet to areas served previously by a Google Fiber TV box, this let me get high-speed networking to each location!

I purchased two of these adapters. I just finished installing one of them. I already had a MOCA network so the adapter is being used to connect an older TIVO to the MOCA network. It took about 15 minutes to accomplish this task. I was impressed with the quality of the adapter, the instructions, and that it came with all the required cables.

While the was hesitant to purchase do to the cost, I am so happy I did. I have a condo with vaulted ceilings on the main floor which sits on a slab. My networking equipment is upstairs, so there really wasnt a good way to run network cable from upstairs to downstairs, and not to have it on the walls. I never had heard of these before now. Note that these do come with POE filters, I didnt realize and had bought a separate one. I connected the main one to my router and then the second one I put down in my living room with a network switch in the uplink port. Speed tests were amazing! I have WOW 1gig internet. I got 247 down on my PS4 and over 700 down on my AppleTV. The cost was well worth it. Before I could never break 100 down on the PS4 over wifi or trying to use powerline adapters. I highly recommend this product. If you are on the fence on getting these like I was due to cost and other disappointing experiences with other devices,

Easy installation and works great. Brings hardwired networking to where I have a cable outlet.

Got rid of cable a couple years ago and installed Tivo OTA with their MOCA adapters connected to existing coax. The Tivo solution has worked great and showed me the reliability and performance of MOCA. While the WIFI signal in my office has always been good, I intermittently had problems with slow web page loading and video buffering. Decided to try the Motorola MOCA adapter in my office and I am very happy with the results. web pages load as quick as another computer I have connected on LAN and no video buffering. The kit includes coax cable, Ethernet cable, and POE filter. If you are not familar with MOCA, then do a little research to make sure it will work for you. If you have Satellite like Direct TV on your coax MOCA will not work. You will also need to make sure you have MOCA capable splitters on your coax connections. I bought the 2 pack and plan to use the second one on a Roku Ultra that currently has WIFI connection. The Roku is performing great on WIFI, but since I have the extra adapter I might as well take advantage of the improved speed and reduce congestion on my WIFI network.

I gave this 3 stars for the following reasons. 1. You will need a MoCA enabled router. Make sure you google whether your router is capable. Mine is and its an xFinity router but not all Comcast routers are MoCA enabled. This wont work with AT&T or Dish, DirectTV satellite routers. 2. If you do have an enabled router, youll need to go into your router settings and ENABLE MoCA. Once you figure out how to log in to your router, its pretty simple to enable. Just click ENABLE ;) 3. Despite that, your router may need an additional MoCA box connected to it, so that is an additional cost. In my case, I didnt need that. 4. You may need to install a POE filter (point of entry) where the coax enters your house. In my case, I didnt have one so I used the one that came with the MoCA box. It takes 5 mins to do with a pair of pliers. Very simple. HOWEVER, if you have splitters in your attic or elsewhere, it may be necessary to check those splitters to make sure they are compliant. Again, in MY case, all splitters were compliant and I didnt have to change any of them. 5. Once that is all done, you get to plug in and see if your MoCAs connect. Mine did, but I had to reboot devices, FireTV, Router, MoCAs to get them to line up and connect with each other. Make sure your connections are TIGHT. I had a semi-connected Ethernet plug that drove me crazy trying to figure out why one box suddenly stopped working. 6. OK, everything is working, so I did a Speed Test. My desktop gets 150mbs and WIFI gets almost the same because my TVs are relatively close to the router. The MoCA boxes? They get about 75mbs or 50pct throughput. You might think thats bad, but its more than enough to stream TV, even 4K tv streams. It functions better than my wifi simply because the signal via MoCA is stable and consistent, where wifi can tend to fluctuate. 7. Now that everything is running well (3 TVs), the cost is high, but not as high has having Ethernet run throughout the house. This is a very cost-efficient alternative, and you can even use your MoCA box to connect a Wifi extender if you want wifi outside your house where it may have been struggling to connect your devices. Conclusion: With all of that, I am giving this 3 Stars because it can be a challenge to get up and running. The boxes are $70 each and the throughput is much lower than my existing wifi.
