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)

Most of my network is Cat6/Ethernet, but I had a need for one critical stretch to go via cable. I bought this for the promised speed and didnt expect any problems - single line, no competing signals, matched adapters, short run (40 ft or so). It didnt deliver. Set up was easy. connect the cables, put in the power, and go. For the short time I had it, performance was reliable. The problem was that I was getting Moca 1.1 speeds (175Mbps) consistently. As far as I can tell, there is no turn on bonding or go fast button or switch that I failed to press. It just slowed my entire network down to Fast Ethernet speeds.

Easy to install, no issues.

I was wiring my whole house with gigabit ethernet, but there was no easy way to run the ethernet cable to the pool house. The builder had run a coax cable out there. With these MOCA adapters, I simply attached one unit to the coax in the pool house, and put the other unit in the main house attic where the coax line came in. I ran an ethernet drop to the unit in the attic, and voila, gigabit ethernet to the pool house. They do take AC power so I had to put the attic unit near the furnace where there was an AC outlet.

Ive had no problems with these units.

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.

Connected upstairs access point across unused coax cable. This allowed us to reconfigure upstairs from a WiFi extender to an access point. Upstairs access point uses a separate channel for WiFi for stronger WiFi connections to mobile devices. Everything on the lan is now much faster. Easy install. Thanks

Took considerable work to get this up and running. Not Moca adapter problem, whole house DVR problem. Spent over an hour with Motorola technical support after having cable company out twice. Problem was two whole house DVR connectors (cable guy said they were POEs) on same cable leading to router. Moved one and presto, Moca!. Getting 117 down and 12 up at desktop connected to router upstairs and same at cable drop Moca adapter behind TV in living room. Motorola tech support was fabulous. No more buffering when streaming and didnt have to run internet cable all over house. Yes, it really works. Spectrum Cable Set up: 1. POE at point of entry. 2. 2gb 4 way splitter after POE. 3. 2 Holland 1675Mhz 2 way splitters, 1 at router, 1 at TV cable drop. I will say my TV gets cable signal from HDMI from AVR in basement and cable box (also in basement) for tv receives signal directly from 4 way initial splitter.

I definitely do not get the 1000 Mbps mentioned, but this was a HUGE upgrade over the EoP that I was previously using.

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.
