Review on 🎮 Enhanced Streaming and Gaming: Actiontec Screenbeam MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax (2 Pack) - 1 Gbps Ethernet, Coax to Ethernet Adapter (Model: ECB6250K02) by Zach Sornsin

I've been using Wi-Fi in our home for many years, with very few problems to be honest. With several computers, iPhones, Apple TVs etc. we test its speed. We have 1 Gbps fiber to the house, which was great, but I noticed that the limiting factor (both for speed and latency) was the WiFi router. Walls, router location (basement), and bandwidth requirements sometimes cause problems. If I'm in a Zoom/Teams meeting and my son is in Rocket League, among other things, we might run into issues (my co-workers say I crash occasionally). We tried accelerators and network-over-power adapters without success. So I was in the process of hiring an electrician to install the wired network connections in the appropriate places, which would have been no small feat or expense when I saw the MoCA option and decided to give it a try. Almost every room in our house has a coax cable TV jack that is no longer used (the cable was dropped a while ago). I ordered a set of 2 (delivered in 48 hours thanks to Prime) and my son and I connected the desktop he uses for homework and games in about 10 minutes. It instantly jumped from 167Mbps with 46ms latency to 876Mbps with 16ms latency. I immediately ordered two more units for my office only to find that I only needed one as the coax splitter could be placed on a box on the router and then connected to multiple endpoints. I read that some people connected to 4 endpoints. It's ok, I'll probably use a different one somewhere else. On my Mac I get >900 Mbit/s with 4 ms ping (see attached screenshot). Sweet. The speed between MoCA blocks appears to be 2.5 Gbps, so our two connections can benefit from the 1 Gbps block output over the same port on the router. higher electrician costs which would likely require drywall work and a much longer delay. Yes, one could argue that a real network connection would give me 10Gb/s intranet speed, but I no longer use servers, and since my ISP is "only" 1Gb/s, no harm will come. There were no online meetings over the weekend, but I am sure this will solve the problem. Highly recommended.
