Greater than one weekWhile 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,

> 3 dayUnlike 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.

Greater than one weekIncluded in the box: PoE Filter, Cat 5e ethernet cable, Coax cable, power supply, wrench for the coax cable, screws for wall mounting. I have coax cable going to 4 rooms with various spliters. I connected the first MoCA box in my office where I have coax cable and a cat6 gigabit network drop but the cable modem and router is in my family room. I tested the other MoCA box on the other coax drops by copying a 22 GB Blu-Ray mkv video file from my NAS. The speed was consistently over 900 mbps on all coax drops. At first I was getting slower speeds on my laptop but realized the bottle neck was its network adapter. Make sure you test with a computer that can actually transfer at 1 Gbps. I installed the PoE filter at the coax entry point to my house. There is an option to encrypt the network traffic but I decided not to use it. All my Cox Cable devices still work as before: cable modem for internet and telephone, DVR, mini-box tuner. Highly recommended!

> 3 dayWhen we moved to our new place in Arizona, we gave up the cat-6 network Id installed under the floor in our old place. This house is on slab and pulling cable would have been a massive pain, so I thought Id give MOCA a try. It took me about 30 minutes to install three adapters. I had to restart the cable modem but thats pretty common after it loses its WAN connection (had to disconnect it to put the MOCA adapter between it and the wall). After the modem got itself sorted out the network came up and both remote connections tested on Ookla at about 600Mbps. I havent done a point to point test within the network but, when I do, I expect to see 800-900Mbps. Couple of minor tips: 1 - Make sure you install one of the POE filters (theres one shipped with each adapter) between the outside world and the coax cable that runs to your cable modem. DONT install it at the wall inside your home. That will keep the network from operating. It has to be on the outside of the splitter in your cable box. Mine is inside a panel in the laundry room but most people will find it out on the side of the house. 2 - Get a pack of 75-ohm terminators for five bucks and put a terminator on every unconnected coax port on your MOCA adapters. This will help maintain good signal quality on your network. While youre at it, if there are any unconnected ports on the splitter that feeds into your house, put terminators on those as well. 3 - USE THE LITTLE WRENCH. Dont go all aggro on the connector but do snug it up gently with the wrench. Signal loss on a loose connector will seriously degrade your network performance. And thats it! EDIT: All ports test at just over 950Mbps. Stability is 100%.

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...

> 3 dayMy son wanted a wired connection to his gaming computer. I used the coax in his bedroom and put the other adapter in my structured media panel. Our max internet speed is 300mbps and it regularly tests about 260 - 280.

> 3 dayOur service provider is Comcast/XFinity. My son was able to set this up on his own in 10 minutes. It was VERY simple. I did recommend this to a co-worker as well. His service provider is Cox. He did have to maker a call to them after setting it up, to enable this in his home. The general rule is if your cable router has a coax connection, and is connected, you have a 95% chance of this working with one MoCA. If not, you may have to buy a second. The ability to use the existing coax in lieu of running ethernet all over the place is excellent.
