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)

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.

I moved to a new house that has the worse network setup ever. AT&T fiber comes in downstairs in the garage and then runs upstairs via CAT6 to the laundry room where the patch panel distributes Cat6 back downstairs to the family room and to the master bedroom which is upstairs. My office which is downstairs has no ethernet run so I have been using the Netgear Orbi Pro (which I truly dont like) to bridge ethernet to my switch in my office but the bandwidth rarely reached over 300Mbps even in front of the AP and the goal here is to have a 1gbps connection to my office. First I tried Powerline which is a total waste of time and doesnt get above 100Mbps unless you are on the same circuit. I found these out of desperation when it occurred to me that every room has Coax so I did a search to see if I could make use of it and found these - even though I didnt have much hope that it would work. When they arrived I simply plugged in one end into the coax in the upstairs laundry room and then directly into the router via Cat 6e cable. The other end is in my office downstairs, connected to coax, then cat 6e to my desktop computer ethernet port. The link lights came up immediately on the boxes and end points, and it took less than a minute to sync. I did a speed test and was blown away that the speed on my desktop downstairs was the same as if I were plugged directly into the router upstairs. I got 980mbps up and down which is around the maximum gigabit throughput with Ethernet overhead. and I am using a Cisco RV340 which is 1Gbps throughput capable. So yes, it works! Additionally, you can plug one end directly into a coax splitter and then put these in any room that needs Ethernet. However, I dont know what the speed would be if every node were transmitting at the same time at 1Gbps. BUT, thats not my goal here so Im very, very, VERY, happy with the results (and for reference, I am an ex-Cisco employee and an Analyst at Gartner covering the network industry - if that makes a difference.)

Very easy to install. Save time on trying to run rj45 cables around the house. It is not cheap but if the product last long time then I am OK with that.

Second time trying to use this brand moca. Didnt work. Does not work with Spectrum.

Plug & Play! Simple to install. Up & running within minutes of receipt at the door! Cable provider equipment ends at the outside wall. Everything inside is owned and operated by me! No more $60 service calls from Suddenlink Tech!!

Amazing

I wanted hardwired ethernet in my room upstairs, and my router is in my basement. I have Fios already so MoCa was already built into the system. I did not have to wire it to the router at all. I got two adapters for because I thought I had to wire it up the old way, but the new Fios service has MoCa enabled already. You only really need one of these adapters if you have newer Fios! Simply take your cable going to your STB plug it in to this adapter, and then you will have hard wire ethernet! I have this going to an unmanaged switched, and then to my PS4, and STB from Fios that has an ethernet portand Coax (Coax not used anymore to pass signal, only ethernet) . Its been working great. So now instead of using wifi for everything I have a switch for my PS4 hardwired, and then another ethernet cable going to my Fios STBs ethernet port. Tv and PS4 work beautifully. Very simply put this adapter in-line where you want internet and it works. (newer Fios only) Older systems you will need to put this in-line at the router and the location where you want to receive internet.

I have an existing MoCA network with Actiontec (MoCA 1.1) devices. This synced right up with the other devices. Each package includes a small wrench to remove/tighten coax cable ends, a Point of Entry MoCA filter and the obligatory Cat5 ethernet cable.. There are even 2 small screws and a paper template for wall mounting. Motorola literally thought of everything! The Quick Start guide is well written and is ideal for beginners. Recommended for MoCA novices and experts alike.

I bought these MOCA adapters because they had good reviews and were less expensive than primary competitor. The bonus was that they came with excellent Motorola support. This support is what got me up and running after days/weeks of communicating with various forums trying to understand exactly how to set up a viable MOCA network

Short story: works great, and runs at 850mbps great. Long story: my install is a little different than most. My computer is across my entire house and I wanted near gigabit speeds for transferring files and soon to be gigabit internet. I do not have a coax plate in my room, but one behind my room. I ran a cable across the side of that room into a new faceplate I installed, and then in my room, I installed another faceplate and had a small cable run in the wall to my room. I accidentally opened the wall on a stud but ended up getting it good enough. I have DirecTV and it specifically does not work with it, so in my basement I unplugged the room behind me from the DirecTV swm splitter and connected one of the adapters directly to that line. I had a left over ethernet down to my basement because I used to have CenturyLink prism, so I ran another ethernet cable (5e) to the room with the adapter, and connected it. After all of this, on my computer I got 850mbps transfer on iPerf when saturating the connection (-w1M -P20). The adapters are stable and only add about 3ms delay, which is better than my 5ghz wifi. They do not add any bufferbloat and they appear to pass all of the tests with flying colours.
