works well when tethered to coaxial cable, easily reach speeds of 1Gbps connected through cat5E

Great for a basement gaming setup. Main floor Router>ethernet>this product>wall moca to basement wall moca>ethernet>xbox. Playing with all network statistics and security on the Xbox on green, no issues on multiplayer, no lag spikes, no nothing. It’s been 6 months no issues. You don’t need the more expensive versions, the regular will do.You can also do another router in between the wall moca and Xbox if you have bad wireless, but not needed at all. If you’re having issues it may be the main router. I used the Verizon router provided for free, and it gave bad spikes and security issues on Xbox along with multiplayer issues. Switched to my personal router and it was fine. I have an old Netgear nighthawk.

Easy hook up.

Recently upgraded my internet connection and wanted to upgrade my MOCA installation to accommodate the faster speeds. This product does the job. Connected it to internet port and to coax lines and ultimately computers on the other side of the house. Speeds at the computers were the same as the speeds at the internet port so very satisfied with the outcome. Installation was simple, just connect everything as per the directions and you're good to go. My only issue is that these were not compatible (would not provide any signal) with older versions of the hardware, thus necessitating purchase of new devices for all connections in the house. You might say, well you want highest speeds at all ports, but I didn't need that for some of the ports as they were less frequently used and speed was not paramount. So just know that you will need to upgrade all locations using a MOCA connection.

Funktioniert zuverlässig und ist Plug-and-Play. Es sind 2 Splitter, 2 Koax-Kabel und 2 LAN-Kabel mitgeliefert. Für Deutschland benötigt man nur noch 2 Reiseadapter für die Netzteile. Über eine Direktverbindung via vorhandenem Koax-Kabel (ca. 20 Meter Kabellänge) habe ich eine andere Wohnung mit meinem Glasfaseranschluss versorgt und es kommen ohne Schwankungen knapp 1.000 MBit/s an. Ggf. kann hier sogar noch mehr übertragen werden, wenn der Glasfaseranschluss nicht limitieren würde. Mit so einer guten Performance im Praxiseinsatz hätte ich nicht gerechnet.

In my house, the UHF TV signal is distributed throughout the house by a 12 way distribution amplifier fed from a log periodic aerial in the loft. There is a restrictive covenant covering all houses on the estate that prohibits any aerials other than satellite dishes and these must be fitted below the roof line. My house is in a dip and out of sight of the transmitting aerial some 15 miles away. The signal can be intermittent and prone to distortion especially in certain weather conditions. To provide a good signal to the two main reception rooms I used an existing SkyQ satellite dish to receive Freesat satellite signals. This meant that the two coax cables from the distribution amplifier in these rooms are not needed. However, a consistent high speed network feed for streaming is essential. This led to a decision to unplug these coax cables from the distribution amplifier in the loft and connect them together so that there is a continuous coax cable between the lesser reception room which houses the FTTP (Fibre to the premise) broadband feed and the main reception room. They are 15m apart. Initially, I purchased the ScreenBeam starter pack of MoCA Network Adapters (ECB6250) and they were an immediate success. Installation is very simple and quick. I had the link working in ten minutes. I was so pleased with the setup that I then purchased an additional single adapter to connect the Office computers to the net. I replaced the coax cable connector in the loft with one of the splitters included with the kits and then connected the Office cable to the splitter. I was delighted with the results. The average of a series of Ookla broadband speed tests using the computer in the office returned a download speed of 941 Mbps and an upload speed of 110 Mbps.If you are interested in using these MoCA adapters I would suggest using F Type cable connectors throughout. In my setup, the coax cables to the distribution amp were already F Type and I replaced the face plates in the Reception rooms and Office with F type faceplates. Also you will need to purchase USA to GB plug adapters as the kits come from the USA. That said, service from the company via Amazon was outstanding and the units were delivered within days and update information was timely and informative.

Short:-These are plug and play and work exactly as expected-The devices are well built and are the quality you would expect for the price-You should get typical wired ethernet speeds, no speed penalty-Make sure to set up all your splitters, amplifiers and filters properly before installing these devices-If using other MOCA devices, make sure to match the MOCA version number between all devices (i.e. don't buy the 2.5 adapters if you're trying to talk to an existing 2.0 device)Long:I moved to a house with tons of cable ports but no possible way to run ethernet. First looked at powerline adapters and decided they seemed too tricky, so I went for this instead. Turns out it was a fantastic choice.When I was first researching MOCA, I found a ton of ambiguous information, so I wanted to share in case it helps others. Instead of looking at forums, the best place to start is to search for the MOCA specification. That makes the whole technology a lot clearer, and contains information useful to the average person (not just technojargon). Essentially, it uses frequencies above those used by normal cable operation (1000MHz) to transmit ethernet without interfering with other signals.Before installing these adapters, make sure you set up all splitters and amplifiers in your house to be one that are MOCA compatible. You will also need to install a filter to prevent your ethernet from leaking out to the neighbors. If you've ever had Tivo or DVR installed, you may already have the correct components in place. I purchased these devices from Amazon and can confirm they worked with these adapters:Splitter:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113JAN8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Amplifier:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077BCHVWZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I also discovered that my wireless gateway (model DPC3941T) from Comcast supported MOCA natively. It was not enabled by default, but it was a simple toggle once logged into the device. This meant I only needed to purchase adapters for the endpoints where I actually wanted wired internet.The actual adapters are fantastic. I initially bought the 2 pack of MOCA 2.5 adapters. These are entirely plug and play. They power up and connect fast, and it was easy to get two nodes to recognize each other. The devices also feel well built. However, I then discovered that my gateway only supports up to MOCA 2.0. I returned the 2.5 adapters and replaced them with 2.0 adapters. They worked flawlessly first try. On a speed test, I get the same speeds using the MOCA adapters as by plugging directly into the router.Overall, I plan to buy more of these in the future. I look forward to MOCA 2.5 supported on more routers. Not all companies can be as on the ball as Actiontec.

I'm stunned at how well these MoCA coax adapters work and how easy they are to set up. I thought I was tech-savvy, but I clearly wasn't because I wasted a lot of money on WIFI range extenders and mesh systems that never worked well. WIFI range extenders and mesh systems take the signal from the home router and try to bounce it to the range extender or mesh node, which then tries to bounce it to the next node and so on. The problem is the range extender cuts down the WFI signal by 50% and it and the mesh nodes only work well when they're in sight of each other. That's not very efficient for larger houses or houses that don't have an open floor plan.Obviously, the best way to extend WIFI is to have your house wired with ethernet cables, but how many people have that? Answer: not many. However, almost everyone has coax running in their house for cable TV and that is where MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) comes in. A MoCA adapter allows additional routers to receive an internet signal directly from your modem through the existing coax cable in your walls. You just plug the coax from your wall into an adapter and then plug the included ethernet cord from the adapter to an additional router, and now you have a super-strong WIFI signal as if the main router and additional router were connected by an ethernet cable.It works brilliantly and immediately, and the good news is you can set up as many routers as you need if you have a coax outlet in your desired room. I set this up in my mother's large colonial house where WIFI signal goes to die. I put three adapters in separate rooms and attached three old routers I had laying around and Voila, my mother loves me again!Ok, now for the Pro-Life Tips.1. THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR SATELLITE TV! CABLE ONLY! Sorry, but you're SOL w/ DirecTV and Dish2. You do not need a MoCA adapter at your modem if your modem is already MoCA enabled. You will need to hook up one of the adapters to the modem if it is not MoCA enabled. A lot of people rent a combination modem/router from their cable provider. The newer ones are already MoCA enabled and if it's not, your cable provider will trade your old modem/router for an updated one for free.3. Speaking of renting a modem/router combo...don't. Buy a separate ARRIS SURFboard Modem and whatever router you want and it will pay for itself in about a year. Don't give your hard-earned shekels to the corp bastards.4. You need a MoCA 2 way splitter if you're running your additional router off a coax that is also providing a cable signal to a TV. The instructions and diagram that come with the adapters aren't clear about this. The adapter set comes with one 2 way splitter, but you will need a 2nd one if you're going to set up two adapters and two additional routers. You can buy a 2-way splitter at Lowe's or Home Depot for $6. Just make sure it is MoCA compliable. Also, the box comes with two short coax cables, but you will need two more if you're connecting them with two TVs. You can buy 3 ft. coax for cheap if you don't have extras laying around.5. The MoCA adapter does not send out a WIFI signal by itself! You must use an additional router for each adapter. Any old router will do, so you don't need to blow your brains out on the latest and the greatest. However, you still need your original "Home Base" router that you have already been using.6. Instructions. How to set up in a room where you already have a TV and your modem is MoCA enabled: Unscrew the coax from the cable box and screw it into the "cable in" port on the splitter. Now screw in another coax to the "cable out" port of the splitter and run it back into the cable box. Cable TV is now all set. Screw another coax to the other "cable out" port of the splitter and screw the other end into the "cable in" port on the adapter. Then plug the provided ethernet cable into the adapter and plug the other end into the WAN port of your router. Plug adapter and router into the wall or outlet strip and enjoy that sweet, sweet rock hard WIFI signal.7. Please know the difference between "your" and "you're". Your is possessive, ie: your new MoCA adapter. You're is a contraction of you are, ie: you're going to love your new MoCA adapter. (See what I did there?)8. Enjoy your strong WIFI signal and please be safe and please be nice to each other. We're all in this trying time together and a little kindness goes a long way. Cheers.

If you need a hard-wired solution because wifi is not reliable in your home and/or not fast enough then this is your answer. Don't bother with Powerline Adapters. I had powerline adapters in my home for years and they are flaky. I would routinely lose connectivity at least once a day (usually twice), which would require me to physically pull out the adapter from the receptacle. Frustrating. And worse, the speeds that it claims were total BS.Enter Moca 2.0 (ECB6200). Night and Day. These things worked great out of the box. I have a gigabit network and my real-world speeds between PCs is 940Mbps. It's as fast as you're gonna get.Anyway, there are two versions of the ECB6200. The v2A and v2C. The 2C is the newer model and has vents on top (as u see in this product picture). It already comes with the latest firmware. Don't make the mistake asking support to give u a firmware that you think is a higher version (the v2A firmware has a higher # than then the 2C) because it will cause your 2C to act erratically (which can be fixed by reinstalling its original firmware).Also, you can access its admin page via 192.168.144.30 -- you will need to set your NIC card with a static IP with the gateway set to 192.168.144.1 .. Not much to do in there besides check the stats.Also, other things to note. In the adapter's admin page under Node Info don't be concerned if your Phys Speed is 600Mbps+ ... due to bonding it means you are 600 x 2 = 1200Mbps. If you are below 600 it means you have some issues on your coax, which is fixable e.g. you may need a moca filter, you might have one or more DVR units using the MOCA frequency, or you simply need a terminator on your moca adapter. All of these are simple fixes.Sorry for the rambling and the raw review. I'd clean it up and make it more coherent but i am not sure anyone will ever read this.Update: It's been some years since buying these and to this day i am still using these MOCA devices. They are still working perfectly. ScreenBeam, the manufacturer, still provides quality support for them. Just the other day i reached out and asked if there were firmware updates. And indeed there were. They walked me through on how to upgrade my moca devices. Very smooth. And it adds some new, unique features not present before. Fantastic!
