Hitron Bonded MoCA 2.5 Adapter (2-Pack) | 1 Gbps Ethernet, 2.5 Gbps Over existing Coax Cable | Ideal Backbone for Mesh WiFi, Streaming and Gaming | 2 HTEM4 Adapters in Kit

Incredible difference from the Wi-Fi router. Went from below 30 bps to over 700 bps. The Wi-Fi router is on the first floor directly under the bedroom that has a desktop computer. We did a speed test and the upload and download speeds were below 30 bps using the Wi-Fi. The outlet downstairs is set up for CAT5 and coax. I have my router plugged directly into my work laptop using CAT 5 and the speed is 149 and 190. When I set the Hitron Bonded MoCA 2.5 adapter downstairs and upstairs connecting directly to the coax outlet it took the speed from below 30bps to over 700 bps. I am not kidding. This is simply amazing. All I had to do was connect the coax cable that came with the product to the product and the outlet then connect the cat 5 from the product to my desktop, finally the power plug to the wall. The same thing downstairs, connect directly to outlet and then cat 5 to router. no syncing, no button to push, nothing except plug in and do the speed test. Absolutely amazing.I actually ordered a different product that was supposed to be shipped the next day but was delayed 3 days, so I ordered this product, and it came the very next day. I am so happy.

Excellent device. Works exactly as advertised and I am very happy with it. I have AT&T Internet (1Gb/s down/1Gb/s up) and I get the same speed over these devices as if I were plugged directly into the router from AT&T with over 900 Mb/s down/up. They have been running 24/7 with no issues. One is providing internet to my work system and has been rock solid. I'll be buying a third device soon to provide wired internet in another room. The devices are built well, compact, barely get warm, and come with everything needed to get connected. Easy to install as there is no need to do anything but connect the coax and Ethernet cable and plug in the power.

Working well. I got it because I have gigabit fiber internet, but the modem/router is in my room upstairs next to my gaming pc. My adult nephew has his gaming pc downstairs and 2/3 the way across th house. So, his wifi download speeds were about 50-80 mbps and he was getting random lag. The dirty secret of wifi. Good for streaming netflix, but not gaming. I had no way of running ethernet cables though without drilling, but realized the solution existed. Old coax cables throughout the house from cable installations years ago that now sit unused. So, now a 2nd router is sitting next to his gaming pc and he has nearly the same speeds and reliability as I do connected to the main router.

BOTTOM LINEThese work great! I get full speed using speedtest.net (300 Mbps).BACKSTORYWhile I have a wireless mesh, I was having challenges with the reliability of the signal to my office. After many gyrations with the mesh configurations, I concluded that the only solution was to be "wired". However, based on the layout of the house and where the internet enters it, running Cat 5e/6 was going to be near impossible (without tearing out walls, a non-starter). So I started to research options and ran into MoCA.I live in 25 year-old house that has unused coax running to the office (I stream). The coax drop shares the same entry point as the internet provider's drop. I bought a cable tester to determine which line was "hot" to the office. I connected the Moca to a wireless satellite switch (main router in a different room) and was amazed at the speed and stability (initially). However, over time it (stability) degraded. I created a lab to isolate the problem and determined the MoCA devices were not the problem.After proving that the MoCA was fine and there were not NIC card issues, or cat 6 issues wire issues from MoCA to the computer NIC card, I had to conclude there was an issue with the coax. During my research I ran into a comment in passing, I think on Quora, where someone indicated that if the coax had a splitter it "might" degrade the signal. Using, this information, I traced the line and found the splitter in my basement and bypassed it. Instant stability! This lasted about two months until the weather changed and the attic heated up, then the stability issues cropped up again. I went into the attic and traced the coax line and discovered a second splitter. I bypassed it and have not had an issue since.AS AN ASIDEI use speedtest.net on Windows 10 with a Chrome browser and am getting my full bandwidth. I did download the Speedtest app and found it to be very inconsistent. I discovered that with the removal of the second splitter, the app was much more in alignment with the browser version's readings, but at times still inconsistent, typically slower than browser reading. I have written to speedtest about this and have not heard back.I was so pleased with the product, I bought a second pair of MoCA Ethernet adapters for my bonus room and connected it to my TV using a wireless access point switch. Using the app on Apple TV gives full speed bandwidth as well.UPDATE 2/18/2024I ended up having one more degradation "issue" and ventured back up into the attic and discovered a 3rd splitter. I removed it and now after almost 8 months and 3 seasons, Summer, Fall and Winter, there are still no issues. In fact, it has been very stable. I don't expect any issues this Spring as the temperatures in NC are very moderate that time of year.I was so enamored I introduced a switch into the mix and connected the Hitron Bonded MoCA 2.5 Adapter output to it and then connected my desktop to the switch with no degradation. I also did two ethernet cat 6 line drops from attic and connected them to the switch for future use. I later used one drop for my television only to discover the TV NIC was limited to only 100 mps. Apparently, this is relatively normal for most TVs Ugh! I added a satellite to my mesh network and am getting above 100mps via the TV's wifi nic.I did test the television drop with my laptop and got the full 300 mps.Back the BOTTOM LINE, still very pleased with the product.NOTE: both sets of the product are in climate controlled portions of my house not the attic.

I decided to return 2 Xfinity cable boxes and just stream using the Xfinity app. Rather than use WiFi I went with these adapters to use the existing coaxial jacks and have an Ethernet connection. The Xfinity router has MoCA already enabled. I also purchased a new splitter that supports MoCA and a filter installed on the input of the splitter. I will save 36 dollars a month not using the old cable boxes and have stable wired connection to 2 TVs. Overall pleased with this his purchase.
