Review on 🔌 Nexuslink G.hn Coax Over Ethernet Adapter - Ultra-Fast 1200Mbps, Secured Network Performance for Gaming & Streaming in Remote Areas - 2 Units (GCA-1200-KIT) by Michael Santos

After reading another review from someone who obviously doesn't understand the Nexuslink G.hn Coax Over Ethernet Adapter I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with him. Product. My first house was the one I built. it had "structured wiring" and was easy to wire. My next two houses were much older and didn't have this type of wiring. It was fairly easy to run Cat5e in the first of these two houses. The second (and my current home) proved much more difficult. My current house has a basement (under part of it), a spacious ground floor (consisting of the original house and two outbuildings) and a second floor (the same). like a basement). Getting the Cat6 from the basement to the first floor was trivial, but the rest of the house (particularly the second floor) proved more difficult. The GCA-1200-KIT changed all that. Older homes have coaxial cable and usually phone jacks in almost every room, and mine is no different. I have a cable modem at home, but all TVs use streaming services. Since the cable setup had a cable modem before any home splitters, I simply plugged the "outdoor" cable line directly into the cable modem, separating it from any home coax lines. This is the ideal use case for the GCA-1200-KIT. I received four of these adapters (2 sets of 2 adapters each). I have one plugged into my house in my basement and plugged it into a 52 port switch in the basement. I connected one on the second floor and it is temporarily connected to a PoE injector for Ubiquiti WAP (it will eventually connect to a PoE switch serving upstairs Cat6 lines, second floor eaves IP cameras and WAP ). One resides in one of the add-ons, connected to a 16-port PoE switch for IP cameras and multiple local Cat6 switches. The last one will be outside where there is an outside TV. It will be an open WAP for TV and anyone who wants to use their devices there. Essentially I have a 4 node G.hn Coax Over Ethernet network that still splits into two dozen paths. I suppose I could improve my performance by trying to identify the SPECIFIC RG-6 barrels I'm using, but it's more trouble than it's worth (at least for me). What I can tell is that I have 5 cameras outputting constant streams of 4Mbps RTSP on the G.hn network. I haven't had any downtime or performance issues at all. While this is happening I can copy from the NAS to my Cat6 LAN over my G.hn "net" and manage speeds around 68MB/s. That's about 2/3 the performance I would get from ethernet, but the G.hn segment is shared (unlike switched ethernet). In my opinion, this is excellent performance at speeds above 500 Mbit/s. So the only real warning is, don't try this over coax, which is what you use for cable TV/cable modems. You can do this by very carefully separating unused cable lines from the "road" splitters, or you can just do what I did and remove EVERYTHING behind the cable modem. If you meet this requirement, you have a good performance. Highly recommended
