goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet Port. MoCA 2.5. 1x 2.5GbE Port. Provide 2.5Gbps Bandwidth with existing coaxial Cables. White(Single, MA2500D)

Living in Edwardian terraced house built in 1900, getting ethernet up to the loft conversion was out of the question. Despite lacking the foresight to have ethernet installed during a rewire in 2018... we did have lots of multiple coax aerial connections installed in every room (that have never once been used, thanks netflix....) Fortunately for me these all terminate at a splitter in the loft. I could not get a link to establish when including the splitter (presumably it is not the correct standard) but disconnecting the various feeds and testing them individually to bypass it... I eventually got a green light. That was a few weeks ago, and I have not had to do anything since. They really just work. Our FTTP connection is gigabit so I cannot verify the 2.5Gbps claim.... but can confirm they deliver the full gigabit speeds whilst introducing a negligible 1-2ms additional latency in comparison to being connected directly to the router. My results are still <10ms where it matters, so virtually impossible to notice. PROS: - They deliver results comparable to ethernet - Come with everything you need in the box (including a UK power adapter which is rare for these devices) - So far require little to no maintenance - Quite small and easy to hide including holes for wall mounting Cons - Could be considered expensive when compared to more commonplace alternatives such as powerline adapters, but the results MocA delivers are far superior in my application - Require power (seems obvious but worth noting) If you are in a situation comparable to mine, these are a no brainer.

I didn't even know these existed until recently, and having used power lines before I really wasn't expecting much but they are really good, I moved some of my networked gear to the other side of the house and it's been faultless. It took no time at all to connect them to the coax and and the speeds are as advertised too. I've not seen any packet loss or high latency either. A great alternative to power lines and a much better way to extend your network if you can't run ethernet through the walls.

These work great and came with a UK plug! I tested two of these both with a direct coaxial cable between them and on my new-build home coaxial network which has a fairly typical "star" layout where cables go from each room to a central signal amplifier and aerial antenna in the loft (so quite long cable runs). In both cases I was able to max out the capacity of my hardware – 1Gbps ethernet. The tests also proved that these work well alongside the Freeview aerial signal and my preinstalled signal amplifier in the loft, which continues to work without any issues or interference. The 2.5Gbps rating is *not* full-duplex (i.e. not 2.5Gb up + 2.5Gb down concurrent) but rather dynamically shared between lanes and devices. This means that when I tested them with iperf3 in bidirectional/dual mode I could get the full 1Gbe ethernet full-duplex speeds (1Gbps download + 1Gbps upload concurrent; see first screenshot). The selling point of this model however is the 2.5Gbps capable ethernet port, so if you have network cards and/or switch capable of such speeds then you should see even more impressive performance. I only have 1Gbps ethernet devices so was not able to test that. The only downside to using these is the latency they add to the traffic: in my testing between 3ms and 4ms, but that is about the same as my Eero Pro Wifi6 extender, but my two Eero Wifi points can only do about ~400Mbps. The power consumption is about 2W per device which is incredibly efficient. Also, while not technically a fault since you know what you're getting when ordering and there are alternatives available, it is a bit annoying that these only have a single coax input and a single ethernet port each. You will need an additional coax splitter and ethernet switch to connect more devices. For this reason I will probably replace them with the Translite MoCA 2.5 with 2 Ethernet Ports Model: TL-MC85 , but I am a bit skeptical since those are a USA model.

This works a treat - much more reliable and far quicker than a powerline adapter. I was previously having to reset the powerline adapter daily and it was notably slower. I've not had to reset this once and its very quick. This is compatible with UK aerial cables.

bought 2 of these in an attempt to get the max speed from my fibre connection (500Mbs) which over wifi 6 (Asus RT-AX59U) is topping out at around 300-400Mbs. Thought I'd take advantage of the existing coax cable around the house so thought I'd give these MOCA units a try. Connected the first one to my router with an ethernet cable, then to the coax connection in the living room feeding the TV. The second I connected to the PC in my home-office (ethernet to PC, coax to the wall socket). Sadly, no MOCA connection. Directly hooking the 2 devices together over a new 5m coax cable worked fine, but suspect the in-wall/loft coax is not of the same standard/quality needed to pass the signal along. Tried disconnecting the TV coax from the aerial-end in the loft and plugging unit 2 directly into it - still no MOCA lights lit. Same results when attaching unit 1 to the (unused) satellite coax, and unit 2 to the loft end. Sadly had to return these, and I'm either going to have to settle for wifi at 60-80% speed, bite the bulllet and fish ethernet through the walls or investigate improved wifi options.

I have relatively new Wifi 7 mesh routers, which are amazing on the same floor, but lose about half their bandwidth through the ceiling. It's still more than fast enough for most of our uses, but I figured a wired backhaul over Moca would be a fun project, benefit some of our gaming devices, and add a little redundancy to the home network. My home is wired for unused coaxial, but not ethernet. Took a bit of a chance, as the coaxial cables were raw, so wasn't exactly sure what connected to what from the junction box. Added ftype wall panels where available, and crimped the junction box cables and added ftype headers. Bit of trial and error matching the right cables, but once I did, boom - the two Moca devices connected instantly. Now my living room devices are basically hardwired to the ONT via a mesh network with wired backhaul over Moca. If the Moca ever fails, the mesh wireless backhaul takes over automatically, and while our wireless backhaul is still fast enough that none of my family would probably notice, it's nice to be able to max out our fibre broadband speed anywhere in the home.

Pricey item, but worth it to get a lightning fast wired connection to the TV instead of the rubbish wifi, and without tracking messy cables through the house or tearing up the walls. We have 550mbps fiber and we saw no loss in speed using MoCA. Would recommend to anyone in a similar situation (a Coax socket by the TV but no Ethernet socket).

Works perfectly! Why are these not more popular in the UK?! I tested the throughput and it's virtually spot on 2.5Gbps end to end. Been in place for a few months and so far they've been rock solid.
