goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet Port | MA2500D Ethernet Over Coax for Gaming & 4K Streaming | 2.5Gbps, Plug and Play | for Cable Internet Homes - Requires 2+ Adapters (White)

If you're debating whether to get this, just order it and stop dealing with the hassle of bad wifi connections, unreliable extenders, and slow connections. I have 3 of these in my house to expand a 1Gb fiber connection between two wifi access points and an office computer. In a previous house I had two of these. So I've bought five of these total and it has always been worth it. -Very easy to set-up, just plug in and go. -Connection quality is amazing. My home office is connected through one of these adapters and gets 980+ Mbps on a 1Gbps connection. Practically no loss for reliable work, streaming, and gaming. I have used these with cable internet in the past, if you are, the results will be similar as long as you get a MoCA filter to install wherever your cable connection enters the house (before the first splitter).

I have Verizon Fios and I had Wifi issues with the Verizon router each time it restarts so I bought my own router. I stopped using the Verizon router and plan to return it to avoid paying the monthly fee but the side effect is no TV Guide updates to the Verizon cable boxes. A Google Gemini search pointed me to this Moca adapter that turns allows data to pass between the router and the cable. I bought the single adapter since I only needed the Verizon cable boxes to work properly. I already had a PoE filter installed. Setup and install was very simple as all I had to do was connect the LAN wire to the router, the cable wire, and the power adapter. I did disconnect the cable wire and unplugged the power from the Verizon cable boxes. After completing the boot up sequence, both cable boxes got the TV Guide updates without any issue. They also have access to On Demand and that wasn't working previously. I know the included directions mentioned custom settings are available but I didn't need to go that far. This Moca adapter allows the Verizon cable boxes to work without the need for the Verizon Fios router. It is very sturdy and seems to be high quality. I know that I can use another Moca adapter somewhere else in the house to leverage the existing cable for data purposes but I don't think I will need to go down that path just yet. If you need to create a Moca data network, extend an existing Moca data network, or simply keep your Verizon Fios cable box experience without the Verizon router, I recommend considering this Moca adapter.

I have several of these devices in my home network setup to implement wired Ethernet connections at cable jacks throughout my house. They have enabled implementing both wired backhaul for mesh routers and wired gaming. The latency has been low and it is substantially better than gaming on WiFi. Make sure to have the appropriate MoCA splitter in your setup for proper functionality.

it works great no problem hook it up and running in seconds.

Product arrived used - clearly returned to Amazon and then reshipped without testing. The adapters wouldn't function at a speed greater than 10Mbps. Contacted manufacturer 3 times over the course of a week and a half with no response. GoCoax has disabled new posts on their support forum. Garbage product, try another brand.

Moved into a new spot where the Xfinity all in one router was a floor above and a lot of interference in between. My PC was getting 5mbps down, 1mbps up, and 72ms ping...horrendous. Hard wiring between floors was not an option so I went with a MoCA setup and I'm blown away. Setup was simple and now I'm getting 600mbps down, 120mbps up, and 14ms ping. Insane upgrade, I'm very happy with this purchase. If you have an Xfinity router with MoCA capabilities, don't overthink it, this is the move. You only need one of these after enabling MoCA in your router's admin tool. The only thing I'd recommend, but isn't necessary, is to swap out the ~3ft. coax cable they provide with a male to male coupler to make the setup at the outlet a bit more compact and less intrusive.

Before buying this adapter, I just ran an Ethernet cable across my house. From what I recall of my last Internet speed test, my download speed then was about 300 Mbps, & the upload speed was 20 Mbps. I don't remember the exact ping. However, in the game Overwatch 2, I do remember that my ping was normally around 60-70 ms. After installing the adapter, I took another speed test, & the results are provided in the attached photo. I also played Overwatch 2 for a bit, & in the Practice Range, my ping was around 100 ms. In a casual match, though, it was around 64 ms. Overall, seems as good as my old setup. One con is the adapter needs a power supply, so I'm using slightly more electricity than before. It always stays powered on, too. You could just unplug it whenever you want. In my case, it's plugged into an extension cord with a power switch. Edit: I expected a Cat5e cable to come with the package, as other reviewers have mentioned, but I actually got a Cat6 cable, for some reason.

This device works great. I needed a more stable and faster internet signal for my PS5 as my wi fi doesn’t reach my back room it solved my problem. My router from xfinity already had moca enabled so it was as easy as plugging it in. Would definitely recommend this product if you have a coax available in your room.

These are an excellent alternative to Powerline Ethernet, which works reliably only 20% of the time. MoCA works a 100% of the time. Make sure that your coax splitters are capable of more than 1GHz. 3-way splitters often have one -3dB port and two -7dB ports. -7dB works better - it's higher attenuation, but wider band. Make sure you terminate unused ports with a 75Ohm terminators. Also keep in mind that they have a slightly higher latency - I'm seeing a 4ms ping round trip time on these.

Ideale oplossing om snel internet via een coax kabel te laten lopen wanneer een UTP om welke reden dan ook niet kan. Makkelijk te installeren.

Acquistati in coppia per far passare la linea internet attraverso la rete coassiale dell'antenna TV. Svolgono egregiamente il loro lavoro. Velocità e latenza sono sostanzialmente pari al cavo Ethernet, nel mio caso si arriva massimo a 1Giga di velocità in up e down essendo limitato dalle porte di uscita del modem TIM. Da verificare se effettivamente riesce ad arrivare ai 2.5 pieni, ma per il resto è ottimo. Peccato perchè, dovendo acquistarne almeno 2, il prezzo finale di questa soluzione diventa un pò alto.

J’ai longtemps cherché une solution fiable pour m'affranchir du câble Ethernet qui traversait mon salon (en passant sous ma porte) vers ma chambre. Même si cette installation, un peu bricolée, me permettait d'avoir une connexion ultra stable, elle n’était : ni esthétique, ni pratique. J’ai alors essayé de trouver une autre solution. J'ai commencé par tester les prises murales RJ45 déjà installées dans mon appartement, mais le câblage semblait conçu uniquement pour la téléphonie, pas pour internet. Ensuite, j’ai envisagé l'achat de boîtiers CPL. Mais même avec les modèles les plus récents en G.hn2400, la perte de débit et la latence n'étaient pas satisfaisantes pour mon utilisation (pour du gaming). Pour jouer en ligne, un bon ping et une connexion stable sont essentiels. Ma carte mère ASUS disposant d’un port 2.5Gbit, je voulais vraiment exploiter ce potentiel sans compromettre la réactivité en jeu. C’est en creusant que j’ai découvert la technologie MoCA, peu connue en France mais apparemment bien plus répandue aux États-Unis. J’avais quelques craintes au départ, notamment sur la compatibilité avec les installations coaxiales françaises, mais j’ai tenté le coup… et j’ai été bluffé. Les boîtiers sont arrivés prêts à l’emploi. En consultant la fiche produit, je pensais que seuls 1 câble Ethernet et 1 adaptateur secteur étaient fournis. Mais j'ai été agréablement surpris de découvrir dans la boîte, en plus, 1 câble coaxial ainsi qu’1 adaptateur type F vers TV (mâle/femelle). L’adaptateur secteur est bien au format européen (fiche à deux broches de type C, utilisée en France). Par contre, personnellement, j’ai utilisé mes propres câbles coaxiaux car j'avais besoin de câbles beaucoup plus longs (2m) et coudés. Mais pour une installation standard, tout est clé en main. Vous n'aurez rien d'autre à acheter. Voici les points positifs et axes d’amélioration que j'ai relevé. Les points positifs : - Une connexion d'une stabilité remarquable dès la mise en route - Un excellent ping en jeu (latence très basse et constante) - Débits quasiment identiques à une liaison Ethernet directe - Je frôle les débits max de mon offre fibre : environ 2 Gb/s en téléchargement et 900 Mb/s en envoi - Présence d’un manuel fourni, pratique même pour un novice Quelques petits axes d’amélioration : - Il n’y a pas de mode éco ou de gestion automatique de la consommation électrique en cas d’inactivité, ce qui aurait été appréciable - Le connecteur coaxial est situé d’un côté du boîtier, tandis que les ports Ethernet et d'alimentation sont placés à l’opposé, ce qui complique un peu la gestion des câbles - Le manuel fourni est uniquement en anglais - L’accès à l’interface nécessite un petit réglage de l’adresse IP, elle doit être locale (voir plus bas pour la procédure détaillée). Le manuel mentionne qu’il faut une IP fixe, mais sans expliquer comment faire - L’activation du chiffrement MoCA (LED “SEC”) n’est pas très bien expliquée. Le bouton MPS est mentionné mais son utilisation manque de clarté. Cette étape reste optionnelle, mais elle est tout de même recommandée - Le firmware installé (2.0.16.0) est plus récent que celui proposé sur le site officiel (2.0.14), ce qui peut déstabiliser au moment de vérifier ou mettre à jour - L’interface web d’administration est assez basique, pas très ergonomique. Je peux proposer au fabricant une refonte gracieuse de leur site internet lol si ils veulent (appelons ça un geste solidaire) En résumé, la liste des points d’amélioration peut sembler longue, mais dans les faits, les bénéfices prennent largement le dessus. Ce boîtier représente une solution idéale pour toute personne cherchant une alternative sérieuse à l’Ethernet sans en subir les contraintes physiques. C’est fiable, performant, stable dès la première utilisation et compatible avec le câblage français, ce qui était mon inquiétude initiale. Même sans toucher aux paramètres avancés, tout fonctionne très bien dès la sortie de boîte. Certaines configurations supplémentaires comme le chiffrement MoCA sont possibles mais pas indispensables au fonctionnement. Petit bémol, un peu cher pour s’affranchir d’un simple câble, mais pour ceux qui ont une grande maison ou un réseau complexe à couvrir, c’est clairement LA solution. Je recommande sans hésitation. --- Bonus : précisions pour définir une IP fixe afin d'accéder à l’interface d’administration Pour accéder à l’interface web du boîtier, il faut attribuer manuellement une adresse IP à l’ordinateur. Le manuel indique qu’une IP fixe est nécessaire, mais sans détailler les étapes. Voici la procédure sous Windows 11 : 1. Aller dans Paramètres > Réseau et internet > Ethernet 2. Cliquer sur Modifier à droite de la ligne Attribution adresse IP 3. Passer de Automatique (DHCP) à Manuel 4. Activer IPv4 5. Saisir les valeurs suivantes : - Adresse IP : 192.168.254.10 - Masque de sous-réseau : 255.255.255.0 6. Enregistrer les paramètres 7. Ouvrir un navigateur et entrer l’adresse suivante dans la barre : 192.168.254.254 8. Pour se connecter : l'identifiant par défaut est "admin" et le mot de passe "gocoax"

I was very cautious with this Ethernet-over-Coaxial idea, but without drilling numerous walls in the rented flat I couldn't find an option to have consistent high-speed connection other than using existing Coaxial, Phone or Power line to get a reliable connection (Wi-Fi was not reliable enough). Reading about low Ethernet over power line efficiency (especially in a relatively dense area), low throughput of phone lines with G.hn, I found this Moca adapter completely accidentally. I decided to give it a try and ordered a pair of adapters. I was doing research meanwhile, thinking that I might need filters and splitters to maybe make it work, but when I received it I just literally connected two points to Ethernet RJ45 and supplied Coaxial cable to the Coaxial wall socket, and it just worked. It took me 10 minutes at max, and then I had high-speed (full speed of my fiber), high-reliability (no performance drops connected to local server) LAN. I understand that experience in ease of setup may differ, but I wonder why those adapters are not more common. Trying to test bandwidth, it's almost as fast if not faster than a patch cord – depending on the conditions, it apparently can run up to 3.5Gbs, and my LAN adapter can do 2.5 max. It's super easy to set up, it's not that expensive (and if those were manufactured at larger scale I'm sure they would be selling for 1/3 of the price). My experience is superb, maybe because I had low expectations. One thing to mention – when you secure the connection (and in flats I would advise to do so – I took 10 minutes for that extra step), make sure you not only set your IP to fixed as in instruction, but also set a subnet mask properly, to 255.255.255.0 – for some reason I only had 32 bits mask by default and couldn't connect.
