Review on Enhance Home WiFi with ScreenBeam WCB6200Q ๐Ÿ“ถ MoCA 2.0 WiFi Extender & 4 Internet Antennas by Nicole Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy setup, strong Wi-Fi signal, offers encryption

Works as expected: Fairly easy to set up, strong Wi-Fi signal, supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, supports traffic encryption all in one MOCA network ( basically we set a password for the MOCA adapter that connects to the modem and set the same password for this extender and all other MOCA adapters in this network). The extender has SSH capability and it is recommended to disable it - the extender is very similar to a computer with a command line interface and it is highly recommended not to expose this powerful command line access via SSH to anyone on the network. So basically disable local SSH. To access the extender's setup page/web interface to do these things (e.g. set a password or disable local SSH): We first configure the network settings. For example, on Windows, go to Network and Sharing Center, right click Ethernet -> Change Properties -> IPV4. Set the following there: 1) IP address: 192.168.99.52) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.03) Default gateway: 192.168.99.14) Then connect the extender directly to the computer with an Ethernet cable and enter 192.168.99.254. in the address bar of the browser. Enter the WCB6200 setup page. After that, bypass the interface to disable local SSH, set a MOCA encryption password, set a password for the wireless network provided by the adapter, etc. 5) You can set a device password to access the interface itself. To do this (or change the device's previously set password), click "Forgot Password" and you will be asked for the device's serial number, which is located at the bottom of the device. Enter it to reset your password. Finally, after doing all the settings, in Windows go to the Network and Sharing Center and right click on Ethernet -> Change Properties -> IPV4 and select "Obtain an IP address automaticallyโ€.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
