6200 Starter Kit

I'm stunned at how well these MoCA coax adapters work and how easy they are to set up. I thought I was tech-savvy, but I clearly wasn't because I wasted a lot of money on WIFI range extenders and mesh systems that never worked well. WIFI range extenders and mesh systems take the signal from the home router and try to bounce it to the range extender or mesh node, which then tries to bounce it to the next node and so on. The problem is the range extender cuts down the WFI signal by 50% and it and the mesh nodes only work well when they're in sight of each other. That's not very efficient for larger houses or houses that don't have an open floor plan. Obviously, the best way to extend WIFI is to have your house wired with ethernet cables, but how many people have that? Answer: not many. However, almost everyone has coax running in their house for cable TV and that is where MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) comes in. A MoCA adapter allows additional routers to receive an internet signal directly from your modem through the existing coax cable in your walls. You just plug the coax from your wall into an adapter and then plug the included ethernet cord from the adapter to an additional router, and now you have a super-strong WIFI signal as if the main router and additional router were connected by an ethernet cable. It works brilliantly and immediately, and the good news is you can set up as many routers as you need if you have a coax outlet in your desired room. I set this up in my mother's large colonial house where WIFI signal goes to die. I put three adapters in separate rooms and attached three old routers I had laying around and Voila, my mother loves me again! Ok, now for the Pro-Life Tips. 1. THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR SATELLITE TV! CABLE ONLY! Sorry, but you're SOL w/ DirecTV and Dish 2. You do not need a MoCA adapter at your modem if your modem is already MoCA enabled. You will need to hook up one of the adapters to the modem if it is not MoCA enabled. A lot of people rent a combination modem/router from their cable provider. The newer ones are already MoCA enabled and if it's not, your cable provider will trade your old modem/router for an updated one for free. 3. Speaking of renting a modem/router combo...don't. Buy a separate ARRIS SURFboard Modem and whatever router you want and it will pay for itself in about a year. Don't give your hard-earned shekels to the corp bastards. 4. You need a MoCA 2 way splitter if you're running your additional router off a coax that is also providing a cable signal to a TV. The instructions and diagram that come with the adapters aren't clear about this. The adapter set comes with one 2 way splitter, but you will need a 2nd one if you're going to set up two adapters and two additional routers. You can buy a 2-way splitter at Lowe's or Home Depot for $6. Just make sure it is MoCA compliable. Also, the box comes with two short coax cables, but you will need two more if you're connecting them with two TVs. You can buy 3 ft. coax for cheap if you don't have extras laying around. 5. The MoCA adapter does not send out a WIFI signal by itself! You must use an additional router for each adapter. Any old router will do, so you don't need to blow your brains out on the latest and the greatest. However, you still need your original "Home Base" router that you have already been using. 6. Instructions. How to set up in a room where you already have a TV and your modem is MoCA enabled: Unscrew the coax from the cable box and screw it into the "cable in" port on the splitter. Now screw in another coax to the "cable out" port of the splitter and run it back into the cable box. Cable TV is now all set. Screw another coax to the other "cable out" port of the splitter and screw the other end into the "cable in" port on the adapter. Then plug the provided ethernet cable into the adapter and plug the other end into the WAN port of your router. Plug adapter and router into the wall or outlet strip and enjoy that sweet, sweet rock hard WIFI signal. 7. Please know the difference between "your" and "you're". Your is possessive, ie: your new MoCA adapter. You're is a contraction of you are, ie: you're going to love your new MoCA adapter. (See what I did there?) 8. Enjoy your strong WIFI signal and please be safe and please be nice to each other. We're all in this trying time together and a little kindness goes a long way. Cheers.

I got a pair of these in April 2017 and I'm still using them. Within the scope of my understanding, they have worked perfectly. I have gigabit internet and get extremely fast download speeds on my computers going through MoCA, no noticeable difference in download speeds from computers plugged directly into my router not going through MoCA. So it's hard for me not to recommend these, I've never had a negative experience with them. It's very easy setup, plug and play pretty much, no software setup whatsoever. Keep in mind though that if you want to expand your MoCA network, try to match the version number (MoCA 2.0) or higher. I bought a MoCA 1.5 adapter to expand my network, and got significantly lower speed from the MoCA 1.5 connected computer than the MoCA 2.0. The reasons for this are obvious, but at the time I wasn't thinking about it. The fact that you can mix different versions of MoCA on your network is interesting though. If your home is wired up with a coaxial network and you're unable to run ethernet due to various reasons, and don't want to set up wifi extenders or anything like that, I think MoCA is a good option. You will probably also want to get a PoE filter and install that in your cable entry point at your house. I'd recommend looking up some youtube videos and stuff before diving in, there is a lot more info out there about it now than there was eight year ago when I got this.

It saved me from having to tear out a lot of drywall! When my house was built, we put coax cable in all the rooms, and we did some ethernet, but not enough. When we upgraded to fiber-optic, the only cable that was running into the office was coax cable. This little gadget allowed me to use the existing coax cable, and I'm still getting 800gps for my download speed. Awesome little device.

Recently upgraded my internet connection and wanted to upgrade my MOCA installation to accommodate the faster speeds. This product does the job. Connected it to internet port and to coax lines and ultimately computers on the other side of the house. Speeds at the computers were the same as the speeds at the internet port so very satisfied with the outcome. Installation was simple, just connect everything as per the directions and you're good to go. My only issue is that these were not compatible (would not provide any signal) with older versions of the hardware, thus necessitating purchase of new devices for all connections in the house. You might say, well you want highest speeds at all ports, but I didn't need that for some of the ports as they were less frequently used and speed was not paramount. So just know that you will need to upgrade all locations using a MOCA connection.

Funciona perfecto he pasado de 40Mbps con un PLC a 1gbs

Funktioniert zuverlässig und ist Plug-and-Play. Es sind 2 Splitter, 2 Koax-Kabel und 2 LAN-Kabel mitgeliefert. Für Deutschland benötigt man nur noch 2 Reiseadapter für die Netzteile. Über eine Direktverbindung via vorhandenem Koax-Kabel (ca. 20 Meter Kabellänge) habe ich eine andere Wohnung mit meinem Glasfaseranschluss versorgt und es kommen ohne Schwankungen knapp 1.000 MBit/s an. Ggf. kann hier sogar noch mehr übertragen werden, wenn der Glasfaseranschluss nicht limitieren würde. Mit so einer guten Performance im Praxiseinsatz hätte ich nicht gerechnet.

In my house, the UHF TV signal is distributed throughout the house by a 12 way distribution amplifier fed from a log periodic aerial in the loft. There is a restrictive covenant covering all houses on the estate that prohibits any aerials other than satellite dishes and these must be fitted below the roof line. My house is in a dip and out of sight of the transmitting aerial some 15 miles away. The signal can be intermittent and prone to distortion especially in certain weather conditions. To provide a good signal to the two main reception rooms I used an existing SkyQ satellite dish to receive Freesat satellite signals. This meant that the two coax cables from the distribution amplifier in these rooms are not needed. However, a consistent high speed network feed for streaming is essential. This led to a decision to unplug these coax cables from the distribution amplifier in the loft and connect them together so that there is a continuous coax cable between the lesser reception room which houses the FTTP (Fibre to the premise) broadband feed and the main reception room. They are 15m apart. Initially, I purchased the ScreenBeam starter pack of MoCA Network Adapters (ECB6250) and they were an immediate success. Installation is very simple and quick. I had the link working in ten minutes. I was so pleased with the setup that I then purchased an additional single adapter to connect the Office computers to the net. I replaced the coax cable connector in the loft with one of the splitters included with the kits and then connected the Office cable to the splitter. I was delighted with the results. The average of a series of Ookla broadband speed tests using the computer in the office returned a download speed of 941 Mbps and an upload speed of 110 Mbps. If you are interested in using these MoCA adapters I would suggest using F Type cable connectors throughout. In my setup, the coax cables to the distribution amp were already F Type and I replaced the face plates in the Reception rooms and Office with F type faceplates. Also you will need to purchase USA to GB plug adapters as the kits come from the USA. That said, service from the company via Amazon was outstanding and the units were delivered within days and update information was timely and informative.

Worked perfectly, great solution

As mentioned in title I cannot understand why this is not a product sold in the UK, except to let internet providers make money on us. I tried power line adaptor in the past but I had three issues with them (tried few brands) lost bandwidth, phone stay connected to other room until it loose signal and get new one. And doesn't work well with smart home devices as they ended up not seen depending on what adapter they are one. This adaptor is plugged in straight to my modem in my office, go in the attic via the existing coax cable made for the TV, and is then distributed back to the bedroom and living room on the ground floor opposite side of the office. A new adaptor on the other end of the coax, and the ethernet goes to a ethernet splitter. TV PS4 mesh router, Chromecast dongle, smart home gateway.. everything is plugged in as if it was on the office router. No loss of bandwidth. The only reason this product is not advertised in the UK is for providers to force more expensive services or cheap power line adaptor.
