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)

Easy to setup and work wonderfully. Used to add an access point to a low signal area of my home. Much easier that running ethernet from upstairs on the other side of the house. The coax cable was already there.

My house is 25 years old and wired with the modern essentials of 1990s - coax and telephone jacks in every room. Wifi is good in most cases but with 4K streaming and online gaming - you want a lot of bandwidth (streaming) at low latencies (gaming) not to be clogging up your wifi air space. These do the trick nicely. I have one near the cable modem and router and another upstairs near my TV, media players, and gaming computer - its essentially a 1Gbps wired connection without having to fish ethernet cable through the walls. Plug and play without the hassle of any setup - although if you want, you can log into them and set an encryption key to secure the data on the coax - useful only if your coax is connected to the outside network and you live close to your neighbors. Its trivial but not necessary in most situations. Mind you MoCA doesnt play well with Sat TV providers, so if youre using Dish or DirecTV, youll have to either isolate the coax you want to use for MoCA or use a slower product called DeCA which tops out at 1-200Mbps. These are fast and easy to setup, well worth the cost.

I bought a pair of these to start a MoCA network in my house. I plugged in the first one and the MoCA indicator light came on right away. It already picked up the MoCA signal from the Xfinity X1 DVR in the living room. I plugged the ethernet connection into a port on my router, then installed the second unit onto the coax in a spare bedroom to test it, then plugged a laptop in to the ethernet port and was connected to the Internet. No configuration necessary. I thought for sure Id have to replace some of my splitters with MoCA-compliant ones but I didnt have to. The coax infrastructure in my house is pretty old using RG-59 cable, not RG-6 so I was worried but everything just worked. The only downside I can see is that even though these units are bonded 2.0 MoCA, my X1 DVR is MoCA 1.1 so everything is running at 1.1 speeds. There does not appearing to be any type of configuration utility on the MM1000 to set it as a Primary MoCA gateway, although my understanding is that it wouldnt make a difference because I think once a 1.1 device is plugged in to the MoCA coax network, all of the devices would slow to 1.1 speed whether it is the primary gateway or not. I could be wrong. If only my X1 DVR was MoCA 2.0, Im sure I would be getting great speeds Regardless, I will be buying at least two more of these to get all of my Smart TVs off of wifi. With these I am getting consistent 90-100mb download speeds on ethernet using speedtest.net from the spare bedroom vs the 30-40mb speeds with intermittent signal loss I was getting using wifi extenders. Im glad I finally took the leap to MoCA.

I purchased this to connect an exterior AP to my router and there was no economical way to run Ethernet. I had previously tried the power line adapters but the connection speed was not fast enough. I plugged these in and immediately had a blazing fast connection. I’m not exactly sure the speed but I’m pretty sure it’s very close to the advertised 1Gbps. I do not have cable tv or internet so my coaxial wiring in my house is wide open for max bandwidth which is probably why this works so good for me.

Why was I paying Brighthouse for their Echo ecosystem? This is the same if no a better solution for your network via coaxial cable. Simple to set up and faster results.

Using these to get gigabit to two hard to reach (with Ethernet) rooms in my two story house. They work perfectly so far.

I run closed to wire connections with this (1 or 2 ping higher then straight Ethernet). Super easy to set up

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!!!

I have used another brand before, I wanted to try these. Motorola thinks of everything when they pack the box. Super easy to hook up. Tried speedtest and it was pulling network speed. I am now streaming stuff through that segment and no problem at all. If this is as tough as the commercial Motorola I used at the fire department, then I am set. Great value

These MOCA adapters worked great to get my high speed ATT (fiber) internet to an upstairs room through my home’s existing coax. I have an OTA TV antenna in the attic and was using my coax network to access the antenna in several rooms. The MOCA adapters do not interfere with the OTA frequencies.
