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.

As I was “cutting the cord” and needed to get Ethernet to areas served previously by a Google Fiber TV box, this let me get high-speed networking to each location!

My 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.

Almost as close as wired cat5e performance. If you are unable to fish the cat5e in your home, then this is ideal solution to have wired data connection using existing coaxial cable in your home. my speed test output for reference.

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...

Easy to install, no issues.

35 Mbs to 140 enough said.

Needed to get gaming Teen off of wifi and he loves the boost in speed. Win for everyone!

I needed this to get ethernet to a metal outbuilding I have that houses my home gym. My peloton kept having wifi issues, so I needed a wired solution. I already had ~100ft coax connection that hooked up to my main cable box outside via a tap. I removed that tap and disconnected the external cable signal (I have fiber internet and streaming tv). I then connected the feed from my master closet box to the 100ft external coax via a coax coupler. I dont know the length of the internal coax cable but I suspect its ~50ft. So 150ft of coax with a coupler in the middle. Then one of these boxes on each end. I was hoping to get 100-200mbps, but based on my speed test attached, Im seeing at least 820mbps. It might be able to deliver the full 1gbps as my internet connection speed can vary 750-1000mbps. I suspect people having connection speed issues are dealing with reduced signal quality (splitters or long runs or both), or interference while running other services over the same cables (cable, internet/etc). These can hit the full advertised speed if you have ideal conditions. Long story short, this is awesome as I now have my full gigabit internet connection available in my out building. Currently Im just using my peloton (only 100mbps), but this will also allow me to add additional devices later if need be. I just hooked it up, so I dont know about reliability, but Ill try and update if I hit anything in the future.

These beauties fully support One billion bytes per second (Gbps) download speeds delivered by a modem such as Netgear CM1000. This modem, btw, can handle TEN gigabytes per second to satisfy anybodys speed fetish. The installation requires two MOCA devices, one at output of the modem, another an the wall outlet of the room coax. Use RJ45 Category 6 (not 5) Ethernet cable and make sure your router is compatible too. For instance, if you want unhindered high-speed streaming, buy a router with 600 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and 1.3 Gbps at 5.0 GHz. Dont be cheap, you will end up throttling your upper end. Highly recommended to buy a pair, because you need one at each end.
