Motorola - MM1000 MoCA Adapter for Ethernet - Black

Some info about my setup. I have two of these. One is upstairs and connected to an ASUS router. (AC 5300). I split the coax connections that feeds my modem. So coax from wall to splitter. Then coax from splitter to one of these. Ethernet cable from this to router. Downstairs I have one of these behind the tv using a coax. I have another router (ASUS Ac86u). This is using the mesh connectivity. From this adapter I have the Ethernet cord connecting to the LAN source on the router. (Where you put it if you were connecting a modem.) Outside I put a MOCA filter between the outside line and the line in the house. Usually found in your cable box outside. Plugged everything in and it just works. This gives me the option to hardwire my roku to LAN port on my router downstairs. This also gives me a reliable signal that, through the mesh network, uses on network ID and one passcode. Awesome

I was switching to Fios from XFinity. I have my own WiFi router in an upstairs bedroom. I wanted it to remain that way. However the Fios line was coming into the house to a small utility room. Plus. I didn’t want to use a Fios WiFi router. Note: You do not need to purchase or rent a Fios router. I got 2 of these Moca adapters. Just have Verizon setup the Fios ONT (box) to output Ethernet. My flow is: ONT>Ethernet into #1Moca>coax out of #1moca>[existing coax in walls run 25 ft to bedroom]>coax into #2Moca>ethernet out of #2>ethernet into LAN jack of my existing router. Bingo. No setup involved. Mocas setup the communication automatically. Fios speeds are great.

The Moca worked as intended once installed. My only con is that you will need a bit of research on how to install properly. I would recommend to watch some installation videos. Other than that, I had the moca for about a month and had no issues. I am able to watch on demand content on my tv with the cable box, and no connectivity issues when watching content. I have it set up with a Netgear nighthawk router. The price is a bit more than what I would pay for an adaptor but this one seems to be very reliable product.

Have been using an Actiontec MOCA adapter for some number of years on Grande cable's aging TiVo equipment. Has worked fine, even if somewhat slow and not great for interconnection. The Actiontec died a number of days ago, so I searched for adapters. Reviews were good online for this 1Gb box, so I used some Reward points, had it shipped, and hooked it up. Instant MOCA network connection, stable operation. Just wish Grande would upgrade their TiVos to gigabit level equipment!

Worked well and I can confirm that coax can carry both the network and the over-the-air signal from an antenna. Be aware that speed tests may show a speed well below the maximum claimed 1G speed. These units seem to have a low-power mode that doesn't reach the maximum speed until the connection is using a lot of bandwidth. For those of you that are advanced users the free tool iperf3 will show the true maximum speed with the following command: iperf3 -c 192.168.1.110 -w1M -P20 -n20G where 192.168.1.110 is the ip address of the iperf3 server in your network

This make and model installed and worked quickly and was easy, BUT only for 1/2 hr. I connected from Verizon FiOS to my set-top-box (STB) and TV's ethernet input, and it seemed fine at first. When changing to a different TV input, the network was lost. Tried many things including rebooting many times. Finally called Motorola Tech Support, and the rep had me test many, many possible solutions to no avail. Conclusion from MTS: This model is intended to work with routers, and not a STB and TV network. Had to return for refund; too bad, I really liked it at first.

Recently cut the cord on cable and switched to a gigabit ethernet. However, rewiring the house with an ethernet network for an old house was going to be challenging. Instead, used these Motorola adapters to setup network points at both ends of the house and use a wifi router. Now the whole house runs at blazing speed from end to end. Motorola adapters were easy to setup and use as well as cheaper than the alternative. Very much recommend this.

Note - My modem had MoCA so I only needed 1. I bought 2 and can use them both or put somewhere else. If your cable modem doesn't have MoCA you would need both. We are using it for my sons gaming machine and he says the delay is better than ever and we did not have to run any new cables or wires.
