> 3 dayMy 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.

> 3 dayI recently bought a three-bedroom, three-level townhouse and got fiberoptic internet with 1gb speeds. Sadly I tried several wifi routers and none would give me reliable fast (ie 25+mbps) speeds to the far corner of my townhouse, which also happens to be my office. WiFi repeaters didnt work with things like my Sonos system. Thankfully these little gadgets saved me by using my existing coaxial cables in my home (which i do not use). I hooked one of these up next to my router, and the other next to my desktop computer, plugged it in with ethernet cord and getting 800+ mbps. There were cheaper ones available on Amazon, but when dealing with my computer, personal and work information, even while using a VPN and firewall, I wanted a brand name product.

> 3 dayI wanted wired networking for my TV, Fire TV, and Hulu connections. I did not know that it was possible to have wired speed over cable until I did some Google searches. I watched some youtube videos to get an understanding how this all works, and it worked perfectly for me. Please be aware that it will not work on some systems. I do not remember which ones, so do your homework!. My system is Comcast and it works perfectly!

> 3 dayDelivering over 300mps easy. Just plugged them in and they worked. Super easy.

> 3 dayForget using WiFi extenders, mesh solutions or PLC (power-line carrier) to get Internet where you need. There is almost always an RG-6 close enough even in older homes or apartments. Get one of these if you have FiOS, a pair if you have cable service. Just make sure your splitters and RG-6 ends (F-connectors) are up to snuff.

> 3 dayI moved to a new house that has the worse network setup ever. AT&T fiber comes in downstairs in the garage and then runs upstairs via CAT6 to the laundry room where the patch panel distributes Cat6 back downstairs to the family room and to the master bedroom which is upstairs. My office which is downstairs has no ethernet run so I have been using the Netgear Orbi Pro (which I truly dont like) to bridge ethernet to my switch in my office but the bandwidth rarely reached over 300Mbps even in front of the AP and the goal here is to have a 1gbps connection to my office. First I tried Powerline which is a total waste of time and doesnt get above 100Mbps unless you are on the same circuit. I found these out of desperation when it occurred to me that every room has Coax so I did a search to see if I could make use of it and found these - even though I didnt have much hope that it would work. When they arrived I simply plugged in one end into the coax in the upstairs laundry room and then directly into the router via Cat 6e cable. The other end is in my office downstairs, connected to coax, then cat 6e to my desktop computer ethernet port. The link lights came up immediately on the boxes and end points, and it took less than a minute to sync. I did a speed test and was blown away that the speed on my desktop downstairs was the same as if I were plugged directly into the router upstairs. I got 980mbps up and down which is around the maximum gigabit throughput with Ethernet overhead. and I am using a Cisco RV340 which is 1Gbps throughput capable. So yes, it works! Additionally, you can plug one end directly into a coax splitter and then put these in any room that needs Ethernet. However, I dont know what the speed would be if every node were transmitting at the same time at 1Gbps. BUT, thats not my goal here so Im very, very, VERY, happy with the results (and for reference, I am an ex-Cisco employee and an Analyst at Gartner covering the network industry - if that makes a difference.)

> 3 dayEven though my mesh network component was right next to my computer I was getting poor Wi-Fi. With this piece I get anywhere from 250 to 400 mbps. Exactly what I needed.

> 3 daySet this up with a base comcast router that automatically supports MoCA. All I had to do was plug and play. There was a hiccup one day where the adapter wouldnt link with my router, but it re-linked after 10 minutes. I believe it was either due to their router or the cabling, as the adapters linked to each other fine. This is a must buy for anyone with the compatibility in their homes.

> 3 dayI used one of these at my smart TV, to allow the coax cable to also double as a wired Ethernet connection to the TV Wi-Fi. The other one I used in an upstair bedroom that was wired with coax cable and now provides a wired Ethernet connection to a laptop. No more harmful Wi-Fi and speed is better. No need to rewire the walls with Ethernet cable! Also, with FiOS, only one of these is needed per end device. No need for one at the Router end. FiOS routers already support MoCa. No software setup needed. It just works.
