I bought a new tivo Roamio- it was recommended that I use a MoCa adaptor, and didn't have a clue- basically this was a super easy plug and play that gives Ethernet speeds to your home via your existing cable tv wiring- plugged in the cables and was up and running in minutes- worked right with no fiddling/setup. All of my tv's are using either a tivo, or tivo mini- super happy

This device transforms a wireless connection into a steady, fast wired connection. My own reason for purchasing the device was that the "included" WiFi for my apartment frequently dropped with no rhyme or reason, or wouldn't connect, and when it did connect it was so slow that it would take me ten to fifteen minutes to load a page, never mind even trying to stream. I put forth the upfront cost and my landlord installed one device in their home and the other was installed on my end. The setup was painless and quick, no more than fifteen minutes tops, and the connection has been hugely improved ever since. An occasional hiccup here and there while streaming video occurs, but nothing truly notable or remarkable. This is being used with service from Time Warner Cable and I have had no issues. Definitely a better alternative than installing a new line and paying a monthly service fee for it or even adding a router (and paying a monthly fee for that!). The feed over the coaxial cable is steady and reliable, something it most definitely wasn't when I was relying on their WiFi reaching from the house to the garage. Lastly, the device is so small in size that it creates no inconvenience for either party. It is worth every penny, though I do wish it were slightly less expensive, but that one time upfront cost is still so much less than new lines, installation fees, monthly subscriptions, etc. MOCA is absolutely the way to go if you need a solution to Wireless issues and want a wired connection!

Living in an older house I always wished we had network cables running throughout the house. The next alternative was to use power line adapters, which worked well for light internet use (i.e, surfing, email, etc), but not good enough for steaming HD content. That's where these MOCA adapters come into play. The setup was fairly simple. Connect an ethernet cable from the router to the MOCA adapter. Then a coax cable to the MOCA adapter. In the other room I had connected the coax cable to the other MOCA adapter and then to a switch. Streaming of HD content no longer suffered from buffering. We were also able to play a few online games without any hiccups. The only negative, if there is one, would be that they could be a few bucks cheaper.
