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)

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.

My home network consists of ethernet (hard wired), moca, powerline, and wifi(including AP). My only improvement would be a poe option for the device connection. MOCA was not viable for me until this reduced price item from Motorola. Just remember that you are sharing the Bandwidth ( < 1 Gig) with other MOCA connected devices. The MOCA filter is included with a pair but be prepared to replace spitters.

It gets the job done without me tearing out walls/ceilings/floors and running Ethernet.

Perfect product to extend home Ethernet connections to opposite side of home for Internet TV by using existing RG cable/satellite TV wiring. Easy setup and great results in accessing Internet TV options for home. Thank you.

Installed easily. Replaced powerline adapters. Now Im getting 200 Mb/sec to my media center switch. Only just installed them but so far Im very impressed.

Awesome product! Works as its supposed to. Getting the top ethernet speeds available with my ISP in my bedroom via coax and this MoCa adapter! Super happy!

Moved in to a house with coax in every room and spotty wifi. Adding two MoCA points was much cheaper than replacing with cat6 cables! Great speed (it is not the limiting factor), reliable, and although it’s difficult to wrap your head around, install was straightforward. If you plug in a wifi point to your moca point for range extending, remember to plug the ethernet cable into the router’s regular LAN port, not its ‘uplink’ port. Otherwise it will not communicate with the main router and just keep trying to be a mesh point! A speed test will help verify that everything is working.

Easy to setup and works exactly as advertised.

I run closed to wire connections with this (1 or 2 ping higher then straight Ethernet). Super easy to set up

In summary: Im happy with the pair. The speeds I get are adequate. I dont get gigabit speeds, but theyre quite high. My network is probably the limiting factor, not the adapters. They allowed me to turn a DD-WRT oriented wireless bridge using an Asus RT-AC66U-B1 into a wired access point. I wanted to get better wireless in that area of the house. Details: The DD-WRT / Asus RT-AC66U-B1 wireless bridge worked well but I wanted a stronger wireless signal in that area by turning the Asus wireless bridge into a wired access point. Later, I decided to replace DD-WRT with stock Asus firmware so that I could turn the RT-AC66U-B1 into an AiMesh node. An AiMesh capable Asus RT-AC68U is the main access point in the house. The main router is pfSense. The MOTOROLA MoCA Adapters extended the wired connection into that area of my home. AiMesh performed erratically. All Asus firmware was up to date. A tivo mini kept losing the wired signal from the AiMesh node. At first I wondered if the MOTOROLA MoCA Adapters were the problem, but swapping out the AiMesh node RT-AC66U-B1 with a spare Netgear R7000 using stock firmware as a wired access point returned stability to the tivo mini. I had similar problems a long time ago with Asus firmware in wireless bridge mode, causing me to install DD-WRT on the RT-AC66U-B1. It appears to work OK as a wired access point, though.
