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)

I wanted wired networking for my TV, Fire TV, and Hulu connections. I did not know that it was possible to have wired speed over cable until I did some Google searches. I watched some youtube videos to get an understanding how this all works, and it worked perfectly for me. Please be aware that it will not work on some systems. I do not remember which ones, so do your homework!. My system is Comcast and it works perfectly!

My situation is a bit unusual. I have Spectrum Internet and they used to offer MOCA compatible modems, in my case a Technicolor TC8715D (cable modem / router) with an ActionTec WCB6200Q (MOCA end point), but have recently stopped supporting their activation codes and the entire family of MOCA modems is being removed from their rental equipment line-up. If youre like me and already have the account and hardware, then Spectrum will grandfather you in as long as you dont change any services. So I needed another end point, Spectrum couldnt provide it and pushed hard for me to stop using MOCA and defer to using WI-FI as a replacement. As if WI-FI is good enough to replace the coaxial cable... (seriously dumb technical advice from a service provider that delivers digital information via coaxial connection). In a vain attempt at avoiding the purchase of my own Cable Modem with MOCA support, I thought I would give these puppies a try. They work flawlessly with the TC8715D. I have had no issue what so ever and the MOCA endpoints are extremely fast and result in communication pings around around 68ms average compared to 88ms average over good WI-FI.

Unlike my previous MOCA adapters, these units are much more compact. Theyre easier to find a place for in your setup. The install and setup is very simple. Just plug them in and turn them on. If you have coax running in your room and need a wired connection, this is the way to go.

I purchased 4 of these for various rooms in my house, now the kids can game like pros which is probably why they never help around the house. Previously had been using wifi and powerline network adapters but these MoCA adapters are truly worth buying. My house has coax in every room and this makes use of them very, very well. I created my network in a slightly different way than prescribed but it works great. I didnt use a filter and I believe there should be no possibility of leaked signal to the cable network because I didnt connect the MoCA adapters to the cable internet side network. (see the pic)

Worked like charm. My tv wifi signal was decent, typically hovering around 30 mb/s...but would randomly drop down to 3 mb/s causing buffering or just simply disconnect making viewing tv every night frustrating. I got 2 of these adapters and hooked 1 up at my router and the other behind my tv at the coax connection and presto.....not a single issue since. My connection speed hovers around 45 mb/s and not a single buffer issue or dropped connection since. I kissed both adapters that first night.....no tongue....that would be weird.

Looks decent, works well most of the time. From time to time it knocks off and requires a power cycle to work again. The cable isnt shared with any TV signal so it is likely not interference on the line. But thats rare and it mostly works fine, so Im happy with it.

Purchased 3 MOCA adapters to have wired internet throughout a new home that was not internet enabled (builder oversight in my opinion). I prefer wired internet over Wi-Fi for element of security and general stability. The items are easy to install (plug and play), but figuring out how to plug in the unit where the internet enters your home and goes to your cable modem can be challenging if you do not have a MOCA enabled cable modem (most are not unless you have Fiber Optic cable coming into your house from your internet provider). I had to research via youtube videos to find one that explained how to hook it up better than the instruction booklet provided by Motorola. Once connected in the main room where my cable modem was, it was simply a matter of using the cable jack in the other rooms and running it to the MOCA adapter and then use an ethernet cable from the MOCA adapter to the device you want hooked to internet. i have 200Mbs internet service and get the same full speed on devices connected to the MOCA adapters. The only issue I have for install pertains to the need to split the cable output so you can use a regular cable box or tv adapter from your cable provider. The MOCA adapter does have a device port to allow for that, which works great for one device, but if you have more than one you may have to use an additional splitter. That may present problems in reducing speeds. Also need to ensure you get the right type of splitter for MOCA use. One other comment- it is important you use a POE filter and install it AT THE POINT THE INTERNET COMES INTO YOUR HOME to ensure the signal does not go back out to others on the same circuit/run. While this does add another device and another plug-in to address, it is a simple solution to set up once you have the first device connected to your cable modem correctly.

Easy to setup and it works as described.

I installed Netgear Orbi RBK-50 in my home and detached garage. I wanted a wired backhaul between the 2 units but only had coax between the buildings. The Motorola MoCA adapters work perfectly. I’m getting the 400Mbps I’m paying for anywhere on my acre. No reason to doubt the adapters could handle Gigabit Ethernet, though I haven’t tried it.

To avoid installing data line across my house, I tried power line first, not good, working but speed is 40M out of 1000M. After changing to this moca adapter, speed is 900m to 1000m. Very happy, and easy to install. Thanks.
