High-Speed MoCA 2.5 Ethernet Over Coaxial Adapter with Dual Gigabit Ports (2 Pack) - TL-MC84 Model Review

Pros: Nicely packaged, comes with coax cables, ethernet cables, and power adapters. The default settings out of the box work. Not very good: Bandwidth is not enough. Going back-to-back devices (literally back-to-back, not through my house's cables) with a PC on both ends and running iperf gave a max throughput of 317Mbps. Far from gigabit. I was going to use this for a gigabit backhaul from my access point to the main router but am not sure now as it can't even achieve gigabit speeds connected…

Our data throughput went from 70MB/s to 700MB/s with Moca using the existing coax system in our home. 10X faster than the latest Wi-Fi 6, no matter how far you are from your router. The good news is you can use it with a cable modem on the same coax cable. Here's how: 1. Plug the entire Moca adapter into the "Moca" coaxial port on the wall.2. The Moca adapter with the cable router needs to be connected to the cable modem via the input/output port.3. then the wired model must be connected with a

I had to move the lab to the basement. Unfortunately I don't have a 5/6 category running between floors and no way to do that without spending more money than it's probably worth. With these adapters I can connect the network via the existing coaxial cabling in the house. These adapters can transfer up to 3Gbps over coax, although I can only get 1Gbps between the two switches. Note that the two ports on these adapters act as switch ports, not bridges. So if you're thinking about creating a LACP

I received this adapter to wire my TV and NVIDIA Shield downstairs where my internet comes into the house which was previously connected to my router via Wi-Fi. At first I wanted to run a test with short cables to see if I could get the speed I expected, but I decided to just tweak. My MOCA setup is isolated from the DOCSIS cable coming into my house, I only use internal cabling for the MOCA network and OTA transmission via external antennas. I have a splitter located outside in a cable box…

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…

Out of the box I couldn't get these things to work the slightest bit. I'm open to the idea that my network setup is to blame, but it was a lot of trouble that I don't think should have happened. I stuck them in the wall, turned them on, disconnected my switches from my horrible powerline network, and connected to the MoCA LAN. One room was ok because it had an entrance but couldn't see the other room. In another room it was even worse, the network was "unidentified". It's ok, the manual says I…

I was looking for a way to replace my slow and unstable powerline adapters without running a new cable or spending a fortune. My house is a lathe and plaster, in other words, a Faraday cage, so Wi-Fi is limited. I started looking into MoCA and this seemed like a logical choice to me as it's high speed and I have multiple coax jacks nearby wherever I want. Ethernet drop. Since MoCA 2.5 is long gone I decided to use 2.5 instead of 2.0. Unfortunately, adapters for 2.5 are hard to find. I chose…

I hope all these details are helpful to others who are considering buying or installing this product. I bought to connect my upstairs bedroom to an ethernet speed connection without running an ethernet cable, which would probably be either costly or impossible. The connection is between this computer in the bedroom (currently connected wirelessly) and the basement where all the TV cables are "plugged in" and the main cable from Spectrum (which provides internet and cable TV) enters the house…
