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 just replaced some Actiontec adapters with these Motorola units. Despite supposedly being bonded I could never get more than about 60MB a sec to my NAS out of the actiontec units. With the Motorola MM1000s Im getting 94MB/sec on the same cable segment (this compares to ~105MB/sec for direct gigabit ethernet). MoCa adds ~3.5ms to the round trip packet time compared to ethernet and these units behave as expected in that regard. The MM1000s are interoperating well with my remaining Actiontec units with no problems at the slower, ~60MB/sec speed. Overall good value, easy to install, they include ethernet cable, MoCa filter, coax cable and a wrench for undoing coax.

Have 5 of these. All work as expected. Connected to wireless network

My 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...

I work in IT. My FIOS ONT is in the basement in the laundry room and I only have them for Internet. The ONT allows an Ethernet cable to be ran from you ONT to your router. I have my router on the 2nd floor in my office for optimal placement. Running an Ethernet wire would have been a pain and costly to have done professionally. I tried using Powerline adapters but there was a solid amount of bandwidth loss, probably more due to poorer electrical wiring in the house. The MOCA adapters allowed me to use the existing coaxial in the house and worked great! Easy to plug in and really no configuration needed. If your not a tech person like me they would be an easy way to bring signal from device (modem or ONT) in say a basement to your router in your house. ***I would like to note I tried to get FIOS gigabit speed and use these. I was not able to get full bandwidth using these, although Im not sure if that is due to the electrical wiring in my house or the units themselves. I do know that if your electrical wiring isnt great that will result in loss of bandwidth. I decided to go with the 300/300 speed tier and get full bandwidth to my router. And honestly it saves me some money on the monthly fee and the 300/300 is fine for my usage. I would say the extra cost of the units is offset by the ease of use of installation and flexibility of placement.

Used devices as media converters to use the coax connections in the house for extending Ethernet connections to wifi nodes. Worked great.

Turns every room into a network drop

Bought 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.)

Was having some major issues with my Airport Base Station to Airport Express WiFi Extended network pushing a quality signal around my house. Decided to give these adapters a try and am not disappointed. After a little reconfiguring of the spiderwebbed coax and splitters in my house (from multiple service installs prior to me buying), the adapters set up easy and everything works perfectly. I’m now seeing full internet speeds (150-200mb/sec) in parts of the house that were struggling to get WiFi. Would definitely recommend if you need to improve your connection speeds. One note, the instructions state you cannot use this with amplified splitters in your house. That added some install time/troubleshooting initially to get everything working properly.

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)

Did not work in my home. Installed everything by the book. Perhaps they’re not compatible with newer Xfinity modems? Quality of construction seemed good though.
