ScreenBeam Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter for High Speed Internet, Ethernet Over Coax - Starter Kit (Model: ECB6200K02)

I was previously using Powerline for most of my house, which is unbeatable for convenience. However, after numerous configuration changes (signal transferring through multiple breakers, etc), the highest speed I could ever achieve on Powerline was 170mbps (once). Usually ran in the 100-150mbps range. This was on the lower end of what I'd like to see for seamless 4K streaming from a NAS, or multiple streams from the same NAS (e.g. one 4K to the bonus room and 1 HD to the bedroom). Although the MoCA adapters can be a little touchy when it comes to perfect coax cable prep and condition, the speed really does blow Powerline out of the water. My internet connection is 300/300mbps, and I've seen as high as 330 in either direction with MoCA. In most cases, the Powerline is sufficient (gaming consoles, 1080p streaming), but to fully utilize the 300/300 internet connection, it was either MoCA or start pulling some CAT7 cable to futureproof the home network. These should be plug-and-play for the most part, again depending on the coax wiring in your house. That being said, they definitely deliver much higher network speeds than Powerline, as there are fewer issues to worry about (load on the electrical system, jumping circuits). NOTE: My internet comes in through fiberoptic so the coax infrastructure was completely free for MoCA purposes.

This is a good, well made, quality product. Its easy to install and gives a robust and reliable network connection with no connection issues - totally reliable and stable connection up to 1000 Mbps

Works exactly as advertised! Zero speed loss from my main router to my mesh node. Very helpful system in an older house that isn't wired for ethernet cables. In my specific setup I needed a 3rd coax cable, but luckily I had a spare handy in my box of old cables.

These really work well to create wired network speed and reliability utilizing existing physical plant. Our two-story house was built in the mid-nineties. I'm assuming many 1970's to 1990's, multi-story houses are in a similar situation; so I will describe in detail below. As in many houses from that era it has lots of cable jacks (like 1-2 in almost every room). Most are on RG-59 wiring and a few newer ones are on RG-6 wiring. Since the house is two story, getting WIFI to propagate through multiple walls, ceilings, and floors is difficult. We are also at the top of a hill and pick up lots of interference from our neighbors' WIFI routers. Plus the total number of WIFI clients these days limits throughput making WIFI okay for low-bandwidth applications (like smart home devices) but poor for streaming devices. Also, running new wires is basically impossible in rooms that have rooms above them as the plenum is too narrow to crawl (about 6" tall). The mid-90's phone network is pre-Ethernet and as such is a hub network on cheap phone wire not a star network on Cat3 or Cat5 like many newer homes. Basically this meant we had three choices: 1.) use wireless only, 2.) find a way to use existing wiring, 3.) cut open walls to run Cat7. Option 1: WIFI works for low-bandwidth devices, but with so many devices these days (easily about 50 for a smart home) the throughput is very limited. We decided to keep WIFI for portable devices and low bandwidth requirement devices, but go with something else for our streaming devices. Option2: Using the existing wiring to create an Ethernet seems like the best option. I decided to make this happen one way or another. The house had lots of coax and quite a few phone jacks too. I researched options. Phone is limited to VDSL adapters. The problem with these are they are just point to point. So you get one connection and that is it. I wanted to connect all my major streaming point (office computer, game room TV, living room TV, and bedroom TV). So VDSL was a no go. I discovered both MOCA and DECA. DECA is much cheaper, but won't interoperatre with cable. We use a cable modem, which would have meant a lot of work at the cable box to separate all the ports in the house except the cable modem. This would have required running at least one more line up to my attic as the cable modem line was shared with my office line. Also MOCA 2.0 supports about 9 times higher bandwidth than DECA. I decided these two things made MOCA worth a few hundred extra dollar, especially since this is a one-time investment. Option3: Cutting open walls is messy and expensive. I really don't want to do that. Updating my coax network: 1.) I went to the box and installed a MOCA POE filter at the input from the cable company. Don't forget this, or you maybe sending your LAN to your neighbors' houses. You can buy this on Amazon. 2.) I went to the box and also all lines I could reach in the attic and replaced all splitters with new ones rated for up to 2.4 gHz. A two way splitter comes with each Moca adapter (or set of adapters). I used one of these. Likely you need a larger one at the box. I bought a 4 way Moca compatible splitter from BAMF here on Amazon. Don't "daisy-chain" the splitters. Buy the appropriate size. You will get better bandwidth. Also don't skip this step. In doing this I replaced two splitters that were rated to 1 gHz. The Moca 2.0 channels are at 1.0-1.2 gHz. This would certainly have lowered my bandwidth, if I had not done this. The install: I installed five Moca adapters as follows: 1.) One is attached to my router - "coax in" line previously attached to the cable modem input, "tv out" out to cable modem input, Ethernet port to my router's Ethernet switch 2-4.) "coax in" attached to the cable jack by my TV's, "tv out" is terminated with an f-terminator, Ethernet is connected to a 5 port TP-Link Gigabit switch connecting my Fire TV and Smart-TV or Smart DVD player. 5.) Connects my office desktop computer the same ways as 2-4. After bringing my coax network up to date (described above). I just plugged these adapters in and it worked. No configuration needed. After installing my Internet speed tests with a laptop hooked to the switches maxes out at our ISP's limits. A network speed test using a 512mb file copy using LAN SpeedTest Lite shows the following 500-600 Mbs downstream 300-400 Mbs upstream I think the difference in downstream and upstream speeds is due to greater isolation on the output side of the splitters. After the install I was finally able to Steam stream games from my office computer to my FireTV in my Game Room.
