" ... This device allows me to use Ethernet upstairs. ... "
" ... These enabled me to build a fast ethernet network by using our existing coax cables. ... "
" ... Plug+play Gigabit internet anywhere you have coaxial cable. ... "
" ... Then I bought this pair of Ethernet to coax adapters. ... "
" ... Wired my speed test shows 28ms, and through the MOCA adapter it is 30ms. ... "
" ... This device combined with the Actiontec Single Dual-Band Wireless Network device provides ethernet connection over coax to our router in the house (200 ft away) and great wireless service for all devices (Roku, Laptop, Printer and Thermostat) in the new space. ... "
" ... Also, these devices support gigabit (and with good signal, actually achieve those speeds) and have a coax passthrough so you can plug a normal coax device (like a TV, STB or modem) to it and you don't lose a coax port. ... "
" ... MoCA is a little known secret in the networking world. ... It operates similar to Powerline adapters but is much more reliable and fast. ... You connect one adapter to a coax (cable or satellite) port and an ethernet cable to a port on your router. ... This then makes all other coax ports in your house "wired" for gigabit ethernet. ... At your secondary location, you plug in to coax and can either connect a device directly to the ethernet port, or attach a switch or wireless router to get additional connections. ... You can also add additional MoCA adapters in different rooms to continue and expand your network. ... I highly recommend MoCA adapters if you need to extend your network! ... "

" ... This device allows me to use Ethernet upstairs. ... "
" ... And the apartment now gets the same 66 mbps throughput as the main house. ... "
" ... Configured a wifi router as an AP in that building, brought the modem and main wifi router into the house. ... "

" ... Because of the nature of MoCA, there is NO authentication or any other security, meaning that if the signal is strong enough, and there is no filter on your PoE (Point of Entry), someone else in a different house can attach one of these devices, or something similar (like a modem/gateway with MoCA capabilities, or MoCa capable set top box like a TiVo) to their coax in their house and get on your network, and vice versa! ... Just make 100% certain they've done this before using these devices, especially if you live in a community living situation, like a condo, apartment, or trailer park. ... "
" ... I have AT&T Gigapower and I can receive my full 920MB/s download at my computer on a different floor. ... I currently have 1 on each floor connected to a wireless router in "AP" mode to ensure strong WiFi connections in all corners of the house. ... "

" ... Configured a wifi router as an AP in that building, brought the modem and main wifi router into the house. ... The MoCA devices did their thing. ... "
" ... I would, however, invest in a MoCA filter for the PoE for your house or unit. ... "
" ... I had the older versions which were MoCa 1.1 but since I needed an additional one, I decided to upgrade to these and use the old ones to connect to devices that weren't compatible with MoCa 2. ... "
" ... if you want to use your own router for fios and maintain verizon tv services, this is a must have. ... "
" ... I am getting ~650Mbps throughput. ... "
" ... Speed the same as measured from the main router (250 Mbps). ... "

" ... Plug+play Gigabit internet anywhere you have coaxial cable. ... "
" ... Does not quite transmit / receive at Gigabit speeds but is a very inexpensive approach to using legacy cable wire to create a wired network in a home. ... "
" ... Then I bought this pair of Ethernet to coax adapters. ... "
" ... The layout of the walls and how the electrical and other wires were run basically made it impossible - the only chance I had was to be able to use the TWO cable outlets the builder installed in the 4 bedroom 2-story house, to try to improvise a network that way. ... Comcast uses their own MoCA at a much lower version than these boxes so I simply used a MoCA splitter from the wall jack and fed one line to the Actiontec box and the other to the Comcast box directly. ... "
" ... I have an Access Point in a building on the other side of a metal garage, and RG11 cabling going there from the house (cable modem used to be back there). ... "
