Review on 2-Pack - DIRECTV Broadband Deca Ethernet to Coax Adapter - 3rd Gen (with 2 USB Power Cables) by Bernard Her

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great way to get ethernet over coax

Fantastic work. As some other reviewers and YouTube videos mention, it can take a few minutes (2-10 minutes seems random) to connect when the power is turned on or the coax is unplugged. Disabling ethernet doesn't seem to cause this problem. It's easy when you connect two cables through a coaxial line and connect one end to the router and the other to the device. I have structured cabling with multiple rooms equipped only with coax cable. I was able to get ethernet into these rooms through these DECA devices. I don't use a splitter, I use a pair of DECAs per coax because I need more bandwidth. I haven't run a speed test on the link yet, but I will soon.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Negative impression
