We moved into a house 3 years ago circa 1990's. One problem I need to solve is having my modem/router on one side of the house and the LCD TV on the other. I don't use my local cable TV to watch TV, but I use it to access the internet. All television comes from the internet and Roku. I connected the internet to the TV via Wi-Fi through the NUC connected to it. Sometimes the video quality suffers, sometimes the WLAN signal on the TV disappears. I tried several wifi extenders etc to deal with it but none of the solutions were satisfactory. Things got even more complicated when I wanted to add an Ethernet-based video surveillance system. Of course, it's not possible to run an Ethernet line from a router to a TV, and my wife doesn't tolerate surface passage through the house. Then I came across a solution to this problem from MoCa. The house was originally connected via coax and I was fortunate that there are connections near the modem/router and TV/NUC. I'm going to run an extra coax cable from my modem/router to the splitter at the entrance to the house. I then carefully examined the last example and found that aspects of this setup matched what I wanted to do. Voila! I plugged it in and it worked. This immediately doubled the speed of my NUC/TV Ethernet compared to WiFi. This device is worth its weight in gold if you have a home that is connected via coax but not ethernet. I would advise you to study the sample settings they provide and understand what is possible.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Minor issues
