Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Your DIRECTV Connection: 2 Pack - Third Generation DIRECTV Broadband Deca Ethernet to Coax Adapter with 2 AC Power Supplies by Matthew Augustin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

We've been using Microcells around the house for a number of years and they work great as long as you don't go too far.

We have a bad ATT signal so I was looking for a way to extend coverage from my house to my barn. I already had a coax cable in the ground, but no ethernet cable. We've been using Microcells around the house for a number of years and they work great as long as you don't stray far from the cage. My solution was to put a second Microcell in the shed to extend the coverage area. The problem is that Microcell requires an ethernet cable and I didn't have one and didn't want to run it 200 feet through the basement, underground and finally into the shed. After scouring the internet and speaking to a rep who offered to sell me a similar device for $200, I continued my search. I finally found this unit and someone else had a similar situation from home to shed etc and wrote a good review. I figured for $15 I'd take the risk. Bottom line: buy it, not only have I solved my cell phone signal issues, but now I have WiFi in the barn which I use to write this review and stream to Youtube at the same time with no buffering issues. In the picture, the coaxial cable goes into this box at the bottom left, the wifi router is at the top of the photo, the microcell is in the window, and everything else is power.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not bad
