Customers value the ease of use and performance of this MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter, frequently citing its plug-and-play setup and reliable functionality. Many appreciate its ability to extend Ethernet connections over existing coaxial cables, simplifying network expansion. While some find the product expensive, the positive feedback on ease of installation and strong performance outweighs this concern for most users.
Forgot wireless, MoCA is the way to go, I have now 4 of them setup in my house and I could not be happier. My PS 4 and PS 5 and mult computes are all plugged into these and I get 800 download speeds on all my devices and if I am using mult devices I have 1200 download they seem to manage the download speed good.

Wanted the fastest possible speeds on my wi-fi 6 mesh home network. After researching, most powerline solutions only offer 40-200 mbps of throughput at best. Slower than what I was currently getting. I came across the ScreenBeam - MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter for Ethernet Over Coaxial. WOW! ITS EXACTLY LIKE HAVING A GIGABIT ETHERNET CONNECTION WHEREVER YOU HAVE A CABLE JACK! I'm now maxing out my wi-fi 6 network speeds! Its like I'm right next to my base router and modem! This former IT nerd highly approves!

I needed to extend wired Internet in my new home and had a choice of using Powerline adapters or MoCA adapters. I’ve never used either, but online articles and reviews seemed to say MoCA was faster and more reliable than Powerline. Thus I can’t compare to Powerline technology, but my experience with the Actiontec MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter has been excellent. Wiring it was simple. Almost everything you need is in the box. Literally 5 minutes and I was ready for speed testing. There is a privacy encryption button, but I didn’t feel I needed to set that up because I have a MoCA filter installed at the cable entry point to the house. What wasn’t in the box: 1) A MoCA filter to prevent your private info from leaking out to your neighbors (it won’t go much further than that) via the cable internet connection. These cost $6 on the Big African Jungle shopping website, so it could have been easily included without breaking a major price point. And in a silly oversight, Best Buy doesn’t sell them, so I had to order from Big African Jungle. 2) You may need more than the two short coax cables included in the kit, so plan ahead. I can’t fault Actiontec for this issue. Most people will be fine with two, though I needed a third. If you need extras, they are cheap and often available for free from your cable provider. I tested my Internet speed and TV cable box operation both before and after installation. There was no difference in internet speeds over several test runs. About 950 down, 40 up. The instructions say the adapters will add about 2 ms to 5 ms latency. My tests showed an additional 1 ms to 2 ms latency. That is nothing to complain about. If you have existing coax outlets near the places where you need to extend wired Internet, I’d go with MoCA 2.5 every time despite it being slightly more expensive than high quality Powerline adapters. The Actiontec kit is a fine choice for adapters.
