goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax(Single Pack). MoCA 2.5. 1x GbE Port. Provide 2.5Gbps Bandwidth with existing coaxial Cables. Best Companion for Home mesh Wi-Fi, White(WF-803M)

Yes it would help and you need 2 because one goes to a coax hook up near your router and the other goes to a coax in your pc room.

This is the one I bought, it has a cable pass through so if you currently use the cable for TV it will still work.

It comes with an ethernet cable but not a coax FYI

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

At that large of a house is recommend installing Ethernet and access points. Mesh is kind of a bandaid solution, use it only when you must.

The two options are Ethernet or MoCA adapters

At this time with lots of people being idle I bet you can find someone to wire up your house at a lower cost. Or do it yourself. It's easy enough, lots of YouTube tutorials.

But to answer your question. I do like the eeros (has SQM), but I think you should go with the pro version (triband, dedicated backhaul).

Yes but you must use Moca adapters (one at each end of the coax run) like this one: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

As long as you get any moca adapter that supports 2.0 or above, you’ll be fine. I personally use this one - https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

Happy to answer any other questions you have

goCoax MoCA Adapter, MoCA 2.5, 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax, 1xGbE Port, White(WF-803M) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

Buy two of those.

1. Remove the G3100
2. Assuming you have Ethernet connection back to the ONT, connect Ethernet to your Ubiquiti router (Edge router or Dream Machine or whatever you’ve got)
3. Get your wired and WiFi networks working the way you want
4. Buy one MoCA adapter; this will do:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

1. Connect any LAN jack on your new router to the adapter

2. Connect MoCA coax jack to a coax jack in the wall

Done; your TV set top boxes are now part of your network

Moca kicks ass. I'm getting the full 500/500 i pay for, with the router two floors down.

I use this adapter along with the fios quantum router https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

p.s. The goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapters are the best value for performance, at present, at $60 per adapter via Amazon.

If the coax is unused you can just creating a point to point link between the room where you PC is and the router, then plug in the adapters. You could also probably just keep the wiring as-is, but look up a guide on this. Point to point will be idea for performance though.

Here's an example adapter (not a recommendation): https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

if you have Coax outlet in the office invest in MoCA 2.5 adapters it will give you full bandwidth even on gigabit plan

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

I just upgraded from old actiontec ones to this one. Decided on going with moca 2.5 vs 2.0 to help future proof a bit. Pair any number of these with whatever router(s) of your choosing and you'll get much better speeds compared to repeating wifi signals.

You should look into MOCA adapters as an alternative. You’re very likely to be wired with Coax cable already, it runs Ethernet through those cables rather than power lines, much faster and WAAAY more consistent. New MOCA version 2.5 adapters are pretty affordable and runs at actual near gigabit speed. I have these they work fantastically https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

When you say the 'cable box' is locked by comcast, do you mean something outside your house where to eventually hits a pole, or IN your house in a closet where all the coax's terminate. How/why would comcast be able to lock something in your house? Open that sucker!

You should double check. I've had great luck with MOCA - had a dead ethernet cable/drop and no way to refish the wire. So simply added an adapstor to the coax at both ends - this here (you'll need two): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYDG7WN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It then opens up all kinds of options what you can in her office. Basically a wired backbone..

I bought 2 of these

Do you have a coax line on your house? Check this goCoax MoCA Adapter, MoCA 2.5, 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax, 1xGbE Port, White(WF-803M) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_cnuQFbW622KJ7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

For me, MoCA works better than powerline, and would probably also work better than a wireless mesh. But I never run cable TV and MoCA on the same coax line. https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wCMKFbZJEWQS9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

These are commonly recommended here: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

You’ll need two, one connected to your router and one wherever you want your access point.

Powerline adapters suuuuuuck. MOCA adapters are a great option that people often overlook (or aren't even aware exist), though.

If you live in apartment or something and there is no elegant solution for running ethernet, MOCA adapters are a great option (that seemingly no one knows about). Most people's houses/apartments are already wired with COAX for cable, and you can use those cables to run internet from your modem with these MOCA adapters. And, unlike powerline adapters, you actually get a solid, fast, consistent connection and a great ping.

MOCA 2.5 adapters are now available, which has a theoretical max speed of 2.5gbps. I get my full 1gbps Google fiber connection across my house and a great ping. It's 99% as good as running an ethernet cable in my experience. Super easy setup too (just plug and play), assuming you don't have some weird coax fuckery going on. At most, you'll have to install a point of entry filter where your main coax line comes in, which takes like 5 seconds.

If you can't run ethernet AND you don't have coax in your house, then you are out of luck. But most people do have coax, as cable TV was all done through coax for decades. Most people already have a complete home wiring system, designed for data, built right into their homes with ports on the wall in every room. Might as well use it.

Edit: here is the link to the moca 2.5 adapters btw

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

I promise I'm not a shill or anything, I just did a lot of research and this is the only brand currently selling 2.5 adapters to consumers. It's solid

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

If yo can wait a little, these seem to be pretty good. Cheaper and better if you need a bunch of things on the network since it uses a newer standard.

You need two of these...

If you have Coax you can buy MOCA adapters. They work amazingly well. https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1YXIIOIL1P0LC&dchild=1&keywords=moca+2.5&qid=1586011275&sprefix=moca+2%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-3

You will need a MOCA Adapter which can run in the range from $40-$70. Here's one on Amazon for $59

They’ve been working perfectly for me. Only a few megabytes slower than straight Ethernet gigabit. I use a combination of Actiontec bonded 2.0 adapters and a Motorola bonded 2.0 adapter. My brother recently bought 2.5 adapters for really cheap, and they work great for him.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN

Here is the least expensive units that are used by a lot of sub members:

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

The other guy didn't emphasize it, but you need TWO of these adapters to get the coax to work with your computer, one in your room, and one near the modem / router. So you need coax in that area as well. You can use a Coax splitter if you need to hook up both your modem and this adapter in your router's area.

There are lots of discussions about MoCA on here, just search this sub to learn how to hook it up. You'll also probably want a MoCA filter as well to protect your network.

I just got 2 MOCA 2.5 adapters. They allow Ethernet over coax. It's working pretty well and was easy to setup. I dont have any experience with the others you mentioned. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=cm_sw_r_em_taa_nBxDEbD648NN2

For MoCa adapters, since you're starting fresh, you might as well go MoCa 2.5, since it allows up to 2.5Gb/s of full duplex traffic on the same splitter group, meaning you could theoretically saturate a symmetric gigabit connection (1000/1000 down), just like you could via gigabit ethernet.

The best bang for the buck currently would be the GoCoax WF-803M's, at \~$60 each (Amazon).

Word

Any reccs on adapters I should get or would I be good with this one

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YcbwFbJQTYJ35

2 or 3 of these effectively "converts" coax to ethernet. https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

Works if cable tv/internet (or nothing is) is on the lines.

Do you have coax throughout the house?

I used coax moca adaptors

goCoax MoCA Adapter, MoCA 2.5,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Router > Ethernet cable > moca adaptor > coax wall outlet > coax outlet in office upstairs > moca > Ethernet. You might have to upgrade your coax splitter.

I get 900 mbps through those.

I then connected google nest Wi-Fi router node to it and used it as a wired back haul. I get 400 mbps in my back yard now.

A MoCA adapter has a coax plug on one end and an Ethernet jack on the other. It takes the Ethernet signals from your devices and sends it over your coax to another MoCA capable device (be it another adapter or a service provider device that has MoCA built in).

A popular MoCA adapter is the GoCoax 2.5 due to how well it performs & its price.

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/

I myself personally use the Actiontec ECB6250 MoCA 2.5 adapter (2-pack) as it's easier to get in Canada and costs about the same as if I imported 2 GoCoax adapters from the States.

The goCoax ones disappeared for awhile but are back on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=gocoax+2.5&qid=1588011787&sr=8-2

​

I remembered this comment and wanted to come back and let you know.

1) Take the G3100 off your network and store it. You can always pull it out and plug it back in if you need in depth troubleshooting assistance from FiOS. Verizon can remotely access that G3100, it’ll even read your WiFi SSID and store it in your account on their servers. No way I want my ISP knowing anything about my internal network if I can help it.

2) Plug the Netgear router in where the G3100 used to be.

3a) Run Ethernet drops. Moca is “good enough”, I use it myself because I rent and the landlord won’t let me run cable through the walls. Nothing beats running Ethernet cables, though. If running Ethernet isn’t an option then:

3b) Buy additional Moca adapters to spread your network around your place. Get Moca 2.5 adapters. example 1 example 2

Would this adapter work for my needs? https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

Can you explain a little more what you mean when I set up the adapter with the XB7. There's two coax connections on the adapter, would one have the coax from the wall and the other would go to the XB7?

One last thing, I have a Comscope sv-3g triple splitter on my coax cable, should I remove this?

Thank you so much for this advice though, it's way cheaper than shelling out 400 on an eero system.

I got these goCoax adapters for 60 bucks each, and I'm getting great speeds even with 4 of them connected. Pulled the trigger on them after watching this review.

First off, the URL that you've got above points to powerline networking adapters. Those are NOT MoCA adapters. Here's an example of a MoCA adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=moca+2.0+adapter&qid=1597999626&sr=8-4

Yes, unless your modem/router has a MoCA adapter built in, and I don't think that yours does, you'll need a pair of MoCA adapters. You need one MoCA adapter with your modem/router combo, and one upstairs where you want to put your router.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYDG7WN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you very much for the reply. Do you have a preference for moca brand?

I like this one since it's $60 and moCA 2.5:

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

Of course I'd need two of them. It also supports encryption.

Turn coaxial into ethernet: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=gocoax&qid=1606428035&sr=8-2

Yeah, MoCA should work for what you're trying to do. Consider the GoCoax unit(s) for $59 each instead https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN

They work great and they're much more affordable :-)

Yes. There's an adapter anywhere that you need to transform coax into Ethernet or viceversa. You can put individual routers or switches on the other side, though. It only gets expensive depending on the bandwidth you need. You should be able to mix and match MoCA adapters, but I recommend reading up about it just to make sure. I plan on actually writing a guide for this for people who are unable to just run Ethernet through the walls (which is something that not many people can do, frankly).

We have several consoles at the TV, and they and an HTPC are hooked up to the network via a switch that goes to MoCA and then goes to our router. We bought ActionTec adapters, but there're much cheaper ones now that can go up to right under a gigabit that are perfectly fine for most applications.

EDIT: Motorola sells two-packs now, which is quite nice. But there's also these, which are highly rated and seem very inexpensive at 2.5Gbps max throughput, which would make them great for transferring files over your local network (like if you had NAS)

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=pd_sbs_1?pd_rd_w=KRK2g&pf_rd_p=b65ee94e-1282-43fc-a8b1-8bf931f6dfab&pf_rd_r=CN68PG9E2MGEZGTMBYHM&pd_rd_r=3b862843-d029-44e8-8c31-1594aebb1e48&pd_rd_wg=iMlHI&pd_rd_i=B07XYDG7WN

I have 3 ActionTec adapters connecting 3 Eero Pros throughout the house. 3 more Eero units on wireless. I try to put everything I can on wired, especially desktops and media streamers to keep the wireless as unencumbered as possible.

Also look at the GoCoax models, and maybe save a little money.

I just did this on my FIOS system. I used this: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN and it worked like a charm. (I have a separate issue related to the wifi router I'm using, but the adapter itself works fine.)

If you have FIOS coming in via coax, you should already have a MoCA enabled system. That means you only need 1 adapter. If you have cable internet, then you would need two adapters.

So I would buy 2 of these, with one connected to the modem/router and the other to the one next to my room correct?

I did find one that was already a pair so it would save me a good chunk of change, would this one be recommended or stick with the GoCoax?

better to run the new cable, unless it's a really complicated route.

if the coax was wrapped around the outside of the house by the cable company, there won't be any staples inside the walls. just the weather bushings snapped in place.

You would not need a direct coax line from the modem to your office. However, there are a couple of things I would recommend to make sure things go smoothly:

• A MoCA point of entry (POE) filter placed before the first coax split from the main line in. This device has multiple functions- it prevents the MoCA signal from entering or leaving your house, so that your neighbors can’t use your service while also preventing any potential interference from others. Additionally, the POE filter reflects the MoCA signal back through your coax lines. This is why we don’t need a direct line: your primary MoCA device will send the signal up to the POE filter, then it will get reflected back down to all of the coax outlets in the house.

• MoCA compatible coax splitters. I have found that the 5-1675 MHz range ones are most often recommended because they provide for the entire range of MoCA frequencies while also filtering out the unnecessary higher frequencies. However, higher frequency splitters should be OK too (for example, 5-2500 MHz). Example of a splitter I like (also in 4-way etc): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PRYS8YZ

• The actual MoCA device. I like goCoax - they are only $60 and support the 2.5 standard. Note that, unless your router/modem supports MoCA, you would need to get 2 of these. These devices come with a cat5e(?) patch cable, but no RG6 coax.

When you are installing these bad boys, this is how I generally did mine:

• (In the room where the modem is) Coax from wall —> goCoax —> Modem. Then for the Ethernet, modem/router —> goCoax.

• (In the room where the office is) Coax from wall —> goCoax —> Ethernet out to device(s). There is also an option to pass through to a TV as well, if you need that.

Sorry for the wall of text - but I hope this was helpful.

I used MoCA to get a physical line to my office. (Cheapest option besides dropping new ethernet, and I'm lazy as shit). Performance-wise, I'd say it's pretty damn close to ethernet.

Basically, you need to connect the coax line that you'll be using for MoCA, to the other lines in the house. Then add your moca adapters on each end. In my case, I just needed 2 adapters (one for where my modem was located, and the other was where my pc was).

I'm no expert but sounds like what I did: You'll have to reconnect the lines outside together using a MoCA rated splitter. And also use a PoE(point of entry) MoCA filter on your incoming line from the street. You'll prevent your MoCA network from leaking out of your property since you're going to be reusing the line that's bringing internet into your house.

Below is what I used for my network: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN https://www.amazon.com/Holland-Electronics-GHS-2Pro-M-Splitter-5-1675Mhz/dp/B00P6VHLP0/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=moca+splitter&qid=1585077085&sr=8-13 https://www.amazon.com/Holland-MPOE-TM-Filter-Coaxial-Networking/dp/B01KDG41QE/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=moca+filter+poe&qid=1585077106&sr=8-10

Some router/modems have moca already integrated, so you may need only one. They should have some sort of compatible marking or led to show if moca is turned on. You will likely have to enable it via the web ui.

If your coax is connected outside your home, then you need a filter on the incoming service coax cable outside your home, to keep your moca signals inside your home.

If you want to have moca working over multiple coax ports (or if you are already needing a splitter), then you’ll need a compatible splitter as well as additional Moca adapters.

Certainly! This is the one I ended up getting.

I bought 3 total. One for next to the router, one for our living room are and one for our upstairs area.

Since our house had coax run but nothing joining them all up I also ended up having to get a coax splitter, and I also bought a PoE filter which just helps make sure your network traffic never leaves your residence over coax.
