Coax cable was stuck in conduits for a 20 year old brickwork house in Portugal and I needed to get WiFi upstairs.I originally wanted to pull through Ethernet cable but was stuck with the coax. Researched the screenbeam moca and installed with no problems, hooking up to second access point. Working great now have WiFi working on both floors

Like most, I have a few rooms in the house that dont receive a strong signal from my (xfinity) router.I tried the lame Powerline and Xfinity plug ins. Really disappointing. My recommendation - dont try these or other range extenders. They all disappoint. You can read the many other more technically advanced folks comments on poor experiences with range extenders.I recently was recently introduced to "moca" (it was a CNET article suggested by google on my search page - those recommended articles really work!) Moca relies on coax cable hook ups to distribute the internet signal throughout the house. All you need are cable outlets, outlets to plug in the moca connectors AC plugs, and moca connectors. Even my 45 year old house was well wired with cable outlets.It took only 10 minutes from opening the box to being up and running.They only issue I ran into was that I eventually discovered I needed a 3-way coax splitter rather than the 2-way splitter supplied. A 2-way splitter is fine for most common set-ups but I had three connected devices - a moca box, an xfinity set top box, and a router - so after playing around with different wiring patterns, I realized the fix was as simple as adding a 3-way splitter rather than the supplied 2-way supplied. I was able to find the required splitter at Home Depot. Make sure to get a 2.5Mhz compatible splitter in order to deliver the promised speed.Speed is really good now in these rooms. The only reason I would ding this slightly is that I have not been able to achieve the same speed off the moca connection that I do at the router. At the router, I get about 900mbps, while at the ethernet connection off the moca box, I am getting at best (but consistently) 500.Maybe its something solvable by a tech person but I have not figured it out.In conclusion, this is produce is highly recommended. it fixed my connection strength issues permanently.

I am with Shaw/Roger internet. You need to buy 2 for it to works. One attached to the router and the other connected to the Coax outlet. I have the second one connected upstairs on the Coax and then to another Asus Router....Great speed improvement and much better coverage since it's now hardwired. The computer upstairs that is connected to the Asus router via ethernet is the same speed that I connected to the RogerRouter via eternity 520Mbps, while the WiFi is about 230 to 310Mbps if in another room upstairs, but 420Mbps with no physical barrier...before it was only around 100Mbps or less via Asus Mesh.

Just plug it in and it'll work. At my home there are no Ethernet outlets, but coax is in every room. This device works perfectly, delivers high speed and has no issues.

As all IT pros know 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.This is amazing for home network, easy to install and it works flawlessly I live in a condo with no way to run ethernet cable to the living room so this is great solution to this problem I went from 55mbps on my pc to 914mbps with this, I never could get any better speed than that due to there being a thick wall and furniture between our X1 Modem and my PC but because of these MoCA adapters I now have found my solution. It also has helped improve the download speeds on my Xbox as well I went from having 60.55 mbps to having 865mbps download speeds.This is the setup that I am using I connected the Moca adapter to my Router using Cat5e, then connected Coax to the other end of the MoCA adapter that leads from the coax coming from the wall.For the 2nd MoCA adapter I connected the Coax from the wall to one end of the splitter, and another Coax cable to my cable box and another to the MoCA adapter that connected to my Xbox Series X.Everything worked great, now I can get high speeds in a room that didn't have a ethernet lan cable.Getting speeds of 1G and fast downloads of 900Mbps on the xbox!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.

So I've been looking for a solution forever for my home which has FTTH, but where the fiber optic cable terminates into my home is really bad for wifi and difficult to run CAT6 cables from. Initially I looked for power-line ethernet adapters that utilize the electrical wiring in your home to pass a data connection through. This worked well, but I was only getting 1/10th the speed from my ISP.Through some research, I decided to give this device a try... like the power-line ethernet, this device utilizes existing cabling in your home (in this case the coaxial runs) to pass data through. And it turns out that I get almost 90% of the rated speed from my ISP which is amazing. No need to hire someone to run cables through your home or deal with spotty wifi.I connected the device as directed to the coaxial outlet in the room where my FTTH line terminates and where my modem is. In the office where I needed the internet, I connected the second device to the coaxial outlet and from there ran the ethernet to my computer. (Now another router).IMPORANT: One thing I learned after some trial and error is that the splitter for the coaxial connections (normally located where your electric panel is or where internet cables terminate into your home) needs to be replaced with the included splitter in this package. These splitters operate with a higher frequency band which allows me to access symmetric connections speeds that my FTTH allows.All in all, I could not be more happy with this product. It is a small investment for a WORLD of convenience and likely cheaper than any other wired solution of equal capability. Absolutely an amazing piece of technology!

I have used many Ethernet over Powerline adapters over the years and even though they worked, speeds were never even close to the advertised ones. This week I decided to get one of these Ethernet over Coaxial cable adapters (it plugs where you normally plugin a TV box that uses the coaxial cable) to test it in a room where I get some spotty WiFi coverage (even though I do have three access points - all Ubiquiti gear). Not sure if it is just because I no longer use Cable TV services (what means I have nothing plugged in to the coaxial ports at home any longer) but Jesus Lord, this thing solved ALL the performance issues.It is maxing out the Gigabit card on my son's PC so now when I try to copy large files from my network storage devices (a QNAP and a Synology) I am hitting 112 Mbytes per second (what is 996 MBits), the maximum speed on the switch where I plugged this in (and also the maximum speed on my son's PC Ethernet port).Massive improvement and took me like five minutes to install. Again, I am not sure if it is working great for me due to not using the coaxial cables in the house any longer for anything. Also I am not sure yet if performance degrades with multiple adapters but I would expect it to be the case as a single adapter goes to the switch so if I have multiple adapters on the other end (i.e., the PCs in the rooms) all of these adapters will got to the switch through that single adapter in the switch room. Regardless, still massive improvement as I am sure not all machines will be on at the SAME time AND doing massive transfers at the same time either. Fantastic product.
