> 3 dayMy house is 25 years old and wired with the modern essentials of 1990s - coax and telephone jacks in every room. Wifi is good in most cases but with 4K streaming and online gaming - you want a lot of bandwidth (streaming) at low latencies (gaming) not to be clogging up your wifi air space. These do the trick nicely. I have one near the cable modem and router and another upstairs near my TV, media players, and gaming computer - its essentially a 1Gbps wired connection without having to fish ethernet cable through the walls. Plug and play without the hassle of any setup - although if you want, you can log into them and set an encryption key to secure the data on the coax - useful only if your coax is connected to the outside network and you live close to your neighbors. Its trivial but not necessary in most situations. Mind you MoCA doesnt play well with Sat TV providers, so if youre using Dish or DirecTV, youll have to either isolate the coax you want to use for MoCA or use a slower product called DeCA which tops out at 1-200Mbps. These are fast and easy to setup, well worth the cost.

Greater than one weekI purchased two pack of these moca adapters, along with a few splitters and few short rg6 cables. Box includes POE filter, Ethernet cable, short coax cable, and small wrench. I did not use included coax cable. I am very happy with the result, my wireless extender is now a wired access point for improved wireless coverage on another floor. Cheaper than a mesh setup and speed is excellent!

> 3 dayIf you have cable wiring and need network, this is a great option. Allows you to run nearly gigabit speeds over existing coax cable, and still allows you to use the TV signal without interference or loss. Cheaper alternative to the other brand and uses the same chipset. No downsides so far.

> 3 dayWork great on its own cable run. Didnt work on the cable run already installed in my hotel due to the weird cable system.

Greater than one weekWhy 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 dayShort 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.

22-04-2025It was easy to set up, very stable, however, I have trouble making it run at the full 1000Mbps speed it advertises. I use my PC as an iperf3 server and my laptop as an iperf3 client. When I use an ethernet(with switch) cable to connect the two, I am able to get ~950Mbps. However, when I use this MoCA 2.0 adapter, I was only to get about ~500Mpbs which is way lower than what should be. But it was very stable 500Mbps with ~1ms latency. So it will be good if youre gaming and only care about latency.
