> 3 dayLooks decent, works well most of the time. From time to time it knocks off and requires a power cycle to work again. The cable isnt shared with any TV signal so it is likely not interference on the line. But thats rare and it mostly works fine, so Im happy with it.

> 3 dayI needed to add an access point to the addition on our house. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to run a CAT6 cable into the room and all that was available was an existing but unused coax cable. Setup was a breeze. I literally plugged the MoCA boxes into each end of the cable and ran a network cable to each end. Within seconds of turning on the MoCA adapters, I had a gigabit connection to that room. Piece of cake to setup and so much easier than running network cables!

> 3 dayFollowed the instructions included with the product, in tandem with a more generic MoCA guide I found online. Setup was a breeze, and I typically struggle with anything network-related. No issues with speed or network stability.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWhy 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.

> 3 dayI purchased two of these adapters. I just finished installing one of them. I already had a MOCA network so the adapter is being used to connect an older TIVO to the MOCA network. It took about 15 minutes to accomplish this task. I was impressed with the quality of the adapter, the instructions, and that it came with all the required cables.

> 3 dayI installed Netgear Orbi RBK-50 in my home and detached garage. I wanted a wired backhaul between the 2 units but only had coax between the buildings. The Motorola MoCA adapters work perfectly. I’m getting the 400Mbps I’m paying for anywhere on my acre. No reason to doubt the adapters could handle Gigabit Ethernet, though I haven’t tried it.

Greater than one weekSo far a great performer. Installation relatively easy. More than Quadrupled my existing Download speeds(38Mbps to over165 Mbps.) Highly recommend you change all your CAT Cabling to the highest performance cable on your system. If not, speed will be limited to lowest performing cable on the system. I went ahead and changed ALL my CAT Cabling to CAT 7. In a lot of instances , for some reason, CAT 7 cable is cheaper than CAT6 or 6a.

> 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!

> 3 dayUsed 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.
