> 3 dayLike the title says, the through speed is great. Very easy to install. I don’t doubt the gigabyte speed they claim.

Greater than one weekno more worrying about dead wifi spots. simple plug and play. if you have cable internet, follow these steps to connect first connect the poe filter to the outside where the cable comes in next, connect the moca adapter from the wall to the network port. connect the device port to the cable modem. plug an ethernet cable from the modem to the router wan port. connect an ethernet cable from moca adapter to any of the router lan ports. connect the other moca adapter network port to your desired location wall coax jack. connect an ethernet cable from ethernet port to a pc or any other network device. turn the adapters on . it will take a minute or two to connect. update: not reliable. now having problems disconnecting the cable modem internet connection. have to reboot the moca adapter in order to get it working again. wouldnt mind but have to do this almost every day. after removing this adapter, i no longer have issues with internet dropping. i am using a 2.4ghz splitter and a poe filter at the home entry Update: issue is with the cable that was provided. Replaced them and now all better

Greater than one weekMy house is set up with three cable home runs with one modem feeding my router. I used these MoCa adapters to feed internet to a Roku Ultra, and a Roku TV. My internet service is 200 upload/50 download. I stalled the filter where the cable drop comes into the house. With this set up everything worked fine. The only issue was the MoCa adapters seem to be limited to 100mbs. Not an issue, I never had buffering issues while streaming movies. Gaming would be a problem!!! Recently I added a splitter to one of the bedroom homeruns to feed cable into our spare bedroom. The same cable that feeds the modem. The MoCa adapters were back feeding internet into the splitter and spare bedroom cable causing the cable to be very unstable. Moving the filter close to the main MoCa adapter fixed the cable issue in the spare bedroom but cause all three adapters to lose their link. So I removed the MoCa adapters and upgraded my router to a mesh system. Not I have 200 download/50upload WiFi everywhere in the house. Shouldve done that in the first place...

Greater than one weekThis has worked great in the living room where I have weak WiFi signal in the house. I attached it to a router and use it as an access point to connect an Xbox and a TV directly and now I don’t have to worry about losing connection to the internet.

> 3 dayI bought 3 of these units. At my smart TV and in my shop the wireless connection was slow and periodically intermittent. Using these units I switched to a cat5 connection and viola, great connection. My shop is over 150 feet from the house, there was a coax cable out to it. Pulling a Cat5 cable through my attic and then out to the shop would be a major hassle. These things worked fantastic. Plug and play. I replaced the splitter where the cable enters the house with a Moca compatible splitter (Cheap). I put one of the included Moca filters in front of the splitter so my Moca signal does not leave my property. I connected a Moca unit to coax for the cable modem, then using the included short coax from Moca to the modem, plug the included cat5 from Moca to the router. At the TV I plugged the cable to the cable box into another Moca and used the included short coax to the cable box. In the shop I plugged the coax cable into the third Moca. Turned everything on and it worked. The ethernet through the Mocas is as fast as a hardwired Cat 5 cable. If you have coax cable going to where you need it, with these Mocas it is not necessary to pull Cat5 !

Greater than one weekUsed these to install an additional (wired backhaul) Nest Mesh router to second floor of home -- extending ethernet from basement ethernet switch (where another Nest Mesh router connects to WAN and feeds the LAN switch) using existing but no longer used coax. Used only the Network coax connections; did not need to insert a MoCa filter in such a setup. So I now have a router used to extend existing wifi with wired backhaul -- much, much more effective than the wifi-only Nest Mesh Access Points.

> 3 dayI 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

> 3 dayBought a new house that has a separated pool house and needed a way to get the network to the second building. The pool house was already wired for cable tv running undergound from the main house so I figured I would buy one of these and set up a Wifi Extender in the pool house attached to this. The install was super easy (plug and play really) and once all setup it works great! I have used Ethernet over powerline items before and this just blew the speed and reliability of those right out of the water. I liked it so much I ended up buying another pair to install a wifi extender into the master bedroom just to save the hassle of running Ethernet wire. (Speeds have been consistent at 800mbps to 900mbps which makes sense given the length of the run.)

> 3 dayThis works great! However, you cant install it using the Tivo MOCA Bridge instructions. You have to set up the Motorola MOCA adapter as an independent device in front of (input side) the cable modem using both the in and out cable connections of the MOCA device and use the Ethernet cable to connect to one of the ports on the router. Same thing when connecting to the Tivo device using a tuning adapter. Connect a second Motorola MOCA adapter on the network (input) side of the tuning adapter using both the in and out connections of the MOCA device and then plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the Tivo. Once youve done this, you have Ethernet LAN data over cable in all rooms having a cable outlet. No splitters required. So if youre using a Tivo Mini in another room, simply connect the cable directly to the back of the Mini and configure it to say its connected to a MOCA network. It works like a champ! The Mini will see the main Tivo box and will use one of its tuners to display live TV as well as all recorded programs. Easy to do and works well if you follow these instructions and disregard the Tivo MOCA adapter instructions. As a side benefit, your Tivo will now use the wired LAN connection to connect to the Tivo network for downloading program information (much faster than wireless) and it will allow your TV to access the Internet using this same faster wired network. No more buffering when streaming video!
