Amazing - Now I have a high speed Ethernet connection to my FROG (family room over the garage) using this Hitron MoCA HTEM5 2.5 adapter. Unlike an other reviewer - I was able to reverse connect aCable Matters 2-Pack 2.4 Ghz 2 Way Coaxial Cable Splitter to my internet out of the router and to my OTA antenna cable. No need for the Hitron HTEM4 that has the passthrough. I pay for 500 mbs ATT Fiber, now getting 560 mbs directly connected over ethernet and 478 mbs connected as a wireless AP (access point) through a Netgear RAX10 router in the FROG over me existing cable wires in the wall. Note, ensure you take your time making / connecting the RG6 connectors and make sure you use a POE (point of entry) filter on your OTA antenna wire going to the antenna. Ethernet signals can broadcast out of your home over the antenna. Definitely recommend, very pleased.

Works amazing. i have 1 of these plugged into my router going into a coax port in a wall, then I have 2 more of these in 2 other rooms, 1 connected to a computer, and another one connected to a network switching going to 2 more computers, all with only 1 receiver plugged into the router, 3 adapters total and it handles it like a champ even with all 3 computers using the network, and it all worked instantly without any configuration, was well worth it and I'm very happy with it and only slightly slower then running multiple 50ft ethernet cables along the floor of the house

Technically these work but I'm getting less than 100Mbps so it's slower than the wifi 6 that I've already got.The main problem though is that I ordered them from Amazon.de (Germany) and they came from the USA.They were supplied with American plugs which are no use to me and I had to pay import duty from the USA. That is not why I use Amazon.de! When I've paid for delivery I expect them delivered and I expect European plugs.

This baby will transmit your Ethernet at 100% of your incoming speed. I upgraded my splitters to MOCA rated and everything is at top speed. Setup is plug and play. My house is wired with RG6 cable, which is recommended. Highly recommended!

Solves wiring problems. Let me reuse an existing RG6 coax typically used to bring CATV signals around the house to distribute Ethernet. There was a preexisting piece of coax leading from the garage to the basement office. The new fiber modem/router from the cable company was placed in the garage and I needed to get a CAT5 wire to the office in the basement. Running a new wire would have been messy and time consuming. Placed one MoCA adapter at the router in the garage using the supplied coax jumper and Ethernet jumper. Connected the existing coax and placed the other MoCA adapter in the basement office. Instant network! Measured 345Mbps on Ookla speed test. So if you have old coax cable TV wiring in your home of quality cable (RG6 quad shielded) it can be repurposed for dropping RJ45 Ethernet connections for streaming programing and video game consoles. The MoCA network is compatible with higher quality CATV splitters. You need one MoCA adapter for each location where Ethernet is required. This kit comes with two MoCA adapters, CAT5 and coax jumpers, wallwarts for the adapter. Simple plug and play connection.

Just worked, out of the box, and stayed within my Apartment's cable system. Spendy, but very much worth it so far. FYI, works beautifully connected to XFinity's cable modem, which has a Mocha feature. So if you only need one extension, you won't need two of these, just one.Easily maxing out my 1.2Gbps internet connection, and over 2Gbps on my LAN. Thank you!

Arrived fast, works well but did cause some issues with my spectrum DOCSIS3.1 modem until I changed some settings on the web interface. The web interface could use some polish but it is functional.

This seems to be a very old chipset, only supports maybe 3 bonding channels and doesn't do nearly as well with a noisy environment as the ScreenBeam ECB7250 - which consistently connects at 3.5Gb PHY Rate in my specific case. These were only connecting at 2Gb and it was just 'wacky' slightly with 1Gbps Wifi is the best I can describe it. It 'worked' but not as well as it really should have for the price so back it goes.

Review October 2024*** ORIGINAL PROBLEM ***My home office on the other side of the house was getting slow Wifi, even on mesh network.*** BEFORE ***I have 1,000Mbit down, 600up fiber to the house (FTTH) from AltaFiber in Ohio.Before installing this device, I had Google Wifi with 4 points (1 main point for internet, 3 mesh points). My personal laptop in my home office was getting 50Mbit down using Wifi connection.*** SETUP ***My setup now. Fiber from the street running inside to my basement >> ONT from AltaFiber >> Ethernet cable >> Google Wifi router >> Ethernet cable >> NETGEAR switch #1 >> Ethernet cable >> THIS MoCA adapter DEVICE #1 >> coax cable through the walls >> THIS MoCA adapter DEVICE #2 >> ethernet >> NETGEAR switch #2 (for 2 laptops) >> Ethernet >> 2 laptops ethernet ports*** RESULTS ***After installing this, I am getting between 750Mbit to 900Mbit down, and 550+ Mbit up!!! This is data from several tests using the speed test side "fast dot com". Significant improvement!!!!*** A few notes ***When you do this, make sure to turn off the WIFI on your computer to force it to use the wired connection.Also the device here includes some CAT6 ethernet cables. I recommend CAT6, and not CAT5e, and definitely NOT CAT5 without the e. CAT6 just gives it more "breathing room".I had to get a female to female coax adapter from a big box home improvement store, go into the basement and connect the 2 coax cables together that were hanging from the walls above (1 from family room where my router is, 1 from my home office). This enables the connection between the 2 rooms.I did buy a coax tester from a big box home improvement store for ~$30 and fortunately, not only did the tool work great, it showed my cox to my rooms were in good shape. I would have been out of luck if it wasn't. So I did test that before I bought this.My 2 NETGEAR switches are NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305)My GOOGLE Wifi mesh devices (all 4) are Google WIFI point gen 1 from 2017, before they called them Nest Wifi. For my laptops now, I only use 1 now for my access to the internet from ONT fiber. I still use the other 3 for google Wifi points for all my handheld devices. But my laptops are now "wired".My house was built in 2002 and the coax cables are original to the house. I have no idea if there are different coax cable "speeds" like we have with ethernet (e.g., cat6, 5e, etc.).I do not use cable TV service from the cable company (Time Warner Spectrum) or the telephone company (Altafiber), so for that I had it easy. I cut the cord in 2013 and don't have traditional cable TV service. Because of that, I didn't have to worry about filters or whatever.Overall, so far, great product. I hope they last for a few years.
