TRENDnet Ethernet Over Coax MoCA 2.5 Adapter, TMO-312C, Backward Compatible with MoCA 2.0/1.1/1.0, RJ-45 Gigabit LAN Port, Supports Net Throughput up to 1Gbps, Support up to 16 Nodes, Black

It works well, just plug and play. East to set up. I got close to my internet provider speed of 1 Gbps. Tested on Speedtest.net got Download 943Mbps and Upload 721 Mbps. Very impressive. For $124.99 it's less than the other brands by a lot. Been using it for about 2 weeks, no issues so far. I was worried since I used to use Powerline Ethernet and it always got stuck at 32Mbps no matter which brand. Finally have basically full speed internet in my basement and better latency then wifi. Remember to turn off VPN when testing speed. I had my VPN on first time I did the speed test and got 330+ Mbps download. So that's 1/3 of my max possible speed. For Youtube, banking, amazon shopping the VPN being on is fine. But when download major updates or games, you need to turn off VPN to get full speed. That is not the fault of this Ethernet over Coax adapter. It's just how VPN slows everything. Maybe I will buy another one for another room in the house in the future.

Why did it take me soooo long to hear about this!?? Living in a large, brick home that has a FIOS modem & router on one end of it and attempting to use a range extender for streaming at the other end of it was NOT working. At. All. Then the old COAX "cable boxes" get shut down and replaced with wireless devices. Which meant attempting to relocate the modem and router (and crawling under a 30 year old house to drill holes for new wires...NO THANK YOU). My son came home from college & said MoCA was the answer. So I delved into the world of MoCA. 1. The new Verizon Fios routers ARE compatable. There seemed to be alot of yes/no discussion around this. 2. You only need 1 box if your router is compatible. The set up was very simple. Coax line in wall. Box. TV. My son said something about direct connecting to ethernet for gaming speeds (which he uses when home), but that means nothing to me. I now can stream movies/TV with no lag, freezing, buffering or Interruption. Yay! And I know it saved me upwards of $800 by not having to have someone come run new lines throughout my house.

First time MoCA user, fast connection I’m a first time MoCA network user, but complete believer. If you understand that a wired connection is always an upgrade in bandwidth compared to using something like and extender, then this is for you. Just make sure you connect and set up correctly and you’re good to go. Setting up a MoCA network with my home Coax wires For those wondering if you’re MoCA compliant, or if you’re home has a MoCA compliant network, the adapters themselves are MoCA compliant. They can talk to each other using MoCA. If you’re talking about the environment, MoCA can coexist in a home with the “compatible” services, or no service. It can’t coexist in a home using the “non-compatible services” Compatible: Verizon FiOS/ Spectrum/ Devices with an Ethernet Port Not Compatible: Direct TV/Dish/Satellite TV/ AT&T Internet/ AT&T U-Verse I’ll save you some time and post the quick installation guide here to help get you setup. However there are pics on the installation guide that can help you out if you’re still confused. Step 1-Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on one TMO-311C to the Ethernet port on your network. Step 2-Connect a coaxial cable from the MoCA port on the TMO-311C to the coaxial cable in your home. Step 3-On a remote TMO-311C, connect a coaxial cable from the MoCA port on the TMO-311C to the coaxial cable in your home. Step 4-Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the TMO-311C to the Ethernet port of a network device. I needed a better more reliable data rate from my NAS and gaming/streaming setup upstairs. Wifi just wasn’t cutting it even using mesh, and powerline didn’t come close to what I wanted. Now with these I’m near gigabit (was expecting way lower, but getting high 800’s low 900 mbps speeds!) 100% reliable. Impressive product. Solves a big problem, Easy solution If your router is in one room, and you want an Ethernet connection in another room (for a gaming console, switch, AP), and have standard coax wires connecting the rooms, BUT you don’t have Ethernet in those rooms or don’t want to run Ethernet, this is for you. Setup up on of these MoCA 2.0 adapters at either end of the coax, and boom, you just transformed your home coax into Ethernet.

I was able to get the full 1GB network running on a dark Coax network. Unlike the wallplug I had, which promised a 2.5GB speed ... I was only able to get 450 MB speed.

As expensive as these kits usually are,one would expect co-ax and network cables included. They are not
