Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter, 2 Pack (ECB6200K02)

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.

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.

Worked perfectly, great solution

Bin grundsätzlich sehr zufrieden. Die Lieferung ging schnell und kam sogar 7 Tage früher an als angekündigt. Die Installation ist einfach und sehr schnell durchgeführt. Die Verbindung zwischen beiden Geräten wird schnell aufgebaut. Bandbreitenverlust konnte ich bisher keinen feststellen, entsprechend liege ich bei Anschluss am ScreenBeam, ebenso wie bei der Messung am Router direkt bei rund 150Mbit/s. Technisch also alles in Ordnung. Richtig gut hätte ich es gefunden, wenn dem Kit auch Netzsteckeradapter bei gelegen hätten, denn ausgeliefert wurde meine Bestellung mit US-Amerikanischen Standardsteckern, sodass ich erstmal ein Paar Reiseadapter herauskramen musste. Kein Drama, aber halt ärgerlich.
