Actiontec - Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter 2-pack - Black

I purchased this because I just upgraded internet fiber to house and getting 1Gig speeds. But only one problem I don't have ethernet wired throughout house. My topology is coax to every room to house and home runned to my demark. So MoCa to the rescue. These 2.0 Bonded converted internet to the coax where it is split to every coax cable in the house. I just add a MoCa adapter in any Run in the house for internet. I did speed test and I was able to clock 936 mbps. WiFi was hitting 430mbps using Asus RT-AC68P on the 2.4Ghz channels.

I'm not new to MoCa network adapters as we've used them in the direction receiver ecosystem before. These however are running at gigabit speed instead of the 100Mbps of your typical MoCa adapter. I was sceptical at first, UT though it was worth a try even with our setup that was a very long stretch thru multiples splitters across 100' in a large estate. Worked right out of the box and we did extensive speed testing, 4k streams and major file transfers across the MoCa with no hiccups. Very impressed and will use more in the future when we don't have Cat6 laid.

Cat 6 is certainly better, but rather than rewiring an existing house, this is a reasonable alternative. You won't get the bandwidth claimed, because that is under ideal conditions. Also, each unit needs to be powered, so there is yet another shadow load on your electric usage. I use this in conjunction with WiFi. There are times when WiFi isn't the way to go and in big houses, or multi-story houses with many walls, this is a superior way of adding additional routers and wired connections.

I tried the Ethernet to A/C adapters and they did not fair well in my application. I already had one of the ActionTec installed by our cable supplier, so bought a second, hooked up and have had excellent Ethernet signal at each cable connection. It does take a mininum of two of these to work but so simple to install to a ROKU for instance.

Had an issue with the microwave oven interfering with Xbox when it was connected through wireless. The devices are easy to install and work great!!! Best Buy and the manufacturer need to advertise more for this product. Only by chance did I come across an article describing this product. I would have bought a set of these years ago if I had known they were available.

I get better throughput with these than the powerline units I've used. Mainly the issue of crossing over circuits with the powerline ones. I have the advantage of having DirecTV with their wireless clients, so only two cable hookups are used for those throughout the house meaning no interference for these.

We installed a pool with a pool house. We needed a solution to extend our internet but had already run the electrical, sewer, cable and alarm wires underground. This product along with the help of Geek Squad provided a great solution with no step down to connectivity. We have the same reception over 250' away from our house.
