Review on 📶 Kiwee Broadband MoCA 2.5 Ethernet Over Coaxial Adapter (KB-M3-02L) - Set of 2 with 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports by Jonathan Jensen

I ordered Kiwee Moca adapters because they had 2 ethernet ports. I figured I could connect the workstation to one port on the remote side and connect the second port to the Fire Stick. I have a Fire Recast hardwired into my network and based on the speed claims of these adapters I figured it would handle the load. Incidentally, the FireStick network adapter only works at 100 Mbit/s. First I connected a workstation and ran a speed test. I had about 700 Mbit/s. I was expecting the speed to be closer to 1Gbps but was satisfied as it was much better than Wi-Fi speeds. I plugged in the firestick and started seeing errors about the network speed being too low for the firestick to support. At this point I checked the workstation again and it was crawling at 128 kbps. I disabled everything, restarted the moca adapters and started over. Every time I connected the second port it just started crawling. I then decided to add a switch and plug the Moca, Firestick and Workstation adapter into the switch. It seemed to work at first, but the speed test with this connection showed just over 400 Mbps. Even faster than Wi-Fi, but nowhere near the advertised 1Gbps. However, after about an hour of work, the connection on remote systems started crawling again. I reset and tried everything several times. After reset the speed was ok but not what I expected but after 20-30 minutes it just went away. Of course I sent the Kiwee Moca adapters back and ordered two GoCOAX adapters. It's been over a month and I haven't seen any of these issues with them. As for the speed tests I use, I have a NAS device with a running speed test server. I tested on NAS and Speedtest.org and the internal and external results for the Kiwee Moca adapters were very similar every time. With GoCOAX adapters, I'm seeing external speeds of 980 Mbps and above for point-to-point testing.
