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 run these through a 40+ foot RV from an access point in the very back all the way to the front and it gets speeds ranging from 400-700 Mbps. Speed is supposed to be 1gbps, but it is running through and ethernet hub, access point, and the first moca device, so I am perfectly content. The speed tester on the nvidia shield (what it directly connects into) is also mediocre. I love it. Such a more consistent connection than wifi. Would never go back at this point. these ones have worked great for me so far, cant speak for the other brand.

Excellent product, works as advertised

Ive had no problems with these units.

Raised download speed to over 350 mps.

I gave this 3 stars for the following reasons. 1. You will need a MoCA enabled router. Make sure you google whether your router is capable. Mine is and its an xFinity router but not all Comcast routers are MoCA enabled. This wont work with AT&T or Dish, DirectTV satellite routers. 2. If you do have an enabled router, youll need to go into your router settings and ENABLE MoCA. Once you figure out how to log in to your router, its pretty simple to enable. Just click ENABLE ;) 3. Despite that, your router may need an additional MoCA box connected to it, so that is an additional cost. In my case, I didnt need that. 4. You may need to install a POE filter (point of entry) where the coax enters your house. In my case, I didnt have one so I used the one that came with the MoCA box. It takes 5 mins to do with a pair of pliers. Very simple. HOWEVER, if you have splitters in your attic or elsewhere, it may be necessary to check those splitters to make sure they are compliant. Again, in MY case, all splitters were compliant and I didnt have to change any of them. 5. Once that is all done, you get to plug in and see if your MoCAs connect. Mine did, but I had to reboot devices, FireTV, Router, MoCAs to get them to line up and connect with each other. Make sure your connections are TIGHT. I had a semi-connected Ethernet plug that drove me crazy trying to figure out why one box suddenly stopped working. 6. OK, everything is working, so I did a Speed Test. My desktop gets 150mbs and WIFI gets almost the same because my TVs are relatively close to the router. The MoCA boxes? They get about 75mbs or 50pct throughput. You might think thats bad, but its more than enough to stream TV, even 4K tv streams. It functions better than my wifi simply because the signal via MoCA is stable and consistent, where wifi can tend to fluctuate. 7. Now that everything is running well (3 TVs), the cost is high, but not as high has having Ethernet run throughout the house. This is a very cost-efficient alternative, and you can even use your MoCA box to connect a Wifi extender if you want wifi outside your house where it may have been struggling to connect your devices. Conclusion: With all of that, I am giving this 3 Stars because it can be a challenge to get up and running. The boxes are $70 each and the throughput is much lower than my existing wifi.

needed a new wired Ethernet drop in a location where it would be VERY difficult to pull new cable. But, there was an existing RG-6 coax drop nearby. So, I put these MOCA adapters at each end of the drop, pulled the Ethernet from one to a switch, and from the other to the office equipment. Works perfectly.

Easy to install, no issues.

My 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.

no more worrying about dead wifi spots. simple plug and play. if you have cable internet, follow these steps to connect first connect the poe filter to the outside where the cable comes in next, connect the moca adapter from the wall to the network port. connect the device port to the cable modem. plug an ethernet cable from the modem to the router wan port. connect an ethernet cable from moca adapter to any of the router lan ports. connect the other moca adapter network port to your desired location wall coax jack. connect an ethernet cable from ethernet port to a pc or any other network device. turn the adapters on . it will take a minute or two to connect. update: not reliable. now having problems disconnecting the cable modem internet connection. have to reboot the moca adapter in order to get it working again. wouldnt mind but have to do this almost every day. after removing this adapter, i no longer have issues with internet dropping. i am using a 2.4ghz splitter and a poe filter at the home entry Update: issue is with the cable that was provided. Replaced them and now all better

Very easy to install. Ran into a small problem when I could not get the link light to come on. Pretty silly mistake but both units must be installed for the link light to actually light. In hind sight, i guess that is logical but nowhere in the instructions does it state that. Scratched my head for about 30 minutes until the little light went on in my brain. Works Great!!!
