Reddit reviews Actiontec MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter, 2 Pack (ECB6000K02)

Moca for sure. Been there, done that. works well and easy to set up. Put the Moca in the basement and your bolt will get internet from the cable line and so will your mini.

Bonus is if you want wired internet elsewhere and there's a cable outlet near by, get another Moca adapter.

I used these. https://www.actiontec.com/products/home-networking/ecb2500c/

This one is newer and faster but the 1.0 will work fine for your application. https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-MoCA-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6000K02/dp/B013J7L6BW

This!!! Have been using them in multiple rooms of the house for streaming and Xbox. They are great!!!

You can't have two modems on one internet account.

One example of a MoCA is here: https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-MoCA-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6000K02/dp/B013J7L6BW

You can use one of these

RP-SMA Male to RP-SMA Female Wifi Antenna Extension Cable Cord 2m / 6' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E9V8T62/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HHtMzb5F3TAPV

To extend the routers antenna. After that you can build a focusing device. Pringles can and parabolic cookware antennas are popular. Google a bit and you'll find tonnes. Extend the routers antenna for one and put a USB adapter in the other. Bam, point to point WiFi.

Wires and plumbing is a good thing. Means the holes are pre drilled and you can just piggy back. 400 ft is a long way for wifi under the best circumstances. Are you sure that's the distance?

Ethernet bought in bulk would always be the best way to go, offering the best speed and reliability. Second to that is MOCA or power line adapters. Both will be faster and more reliable than wifi over that distance. I had better luck with MOCA personally, but power line adapters can be had pretty cheap.

The ECB6000K02 is an older MoCA 2.0 adapter. There is a newer, Bonded MoCA 2.0 adapter, the ECB6200, which is up to 2x faster. The ECB6000K02 should still be capable of several hundred Mbps, which may be good enough. Besides, it's possible your cable company's equipment doesn't support Bonded MoCA 2.0.

Keep in mind that the Amazon link is for 2 adapters. The per-unit cost for 2 adapters is usually cheaper.

> AND the hookup would be: Coax > MoCA adapter > POE > Bridge 1 > Bridge 2 > POE > Router (as access point)?

I assuming that POE here means Power over Ethernet for powering the Bridges. If so, yes, that looks correct.

I don't have Fios, but I'm fairly confident my cable company is using MoCA. So I have this network bridge:

AND the hookup would be: Coax > MoCA adapter > POE > Bridge 1 > Bridge 2 > POE > Router (as access point)?

Make sure you at least get the 2.0 adapters, the 1.0 adapters are hard limted to 100 Mbps.

These are the current best ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013J7L6BW/

Have you considered MOCA adapters? I only ask because when I mention them most people don't know what I'm talking about. I swear by them and I have been running them for the past 4 years.

I have the Actiontec. I just upgraded to the first link. However now that I've seen the price of the Yitong (third link) and see if there is a drastic difference. I still need one more....

Actiontec MOCA 2.0 (650+Mbps)

Actiontec MOCA 1.1 (270 Mbps)

[Yitong](

If you have coaxial cable in both rooms you could use MOCA instead.

https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-MoCA-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6000K02/dp/B013J7L6BW

So would something like this https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-MoCA-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6000K02/dp/B013J7L6BW/ref=pd_sim_147_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B013J7L6BW&pd_rd_r=K9WYQMNR7B540J9ABFCY&pd_rd_w=Ua8TI&pd_rd_wg=qXcAN&psc=1&refRID=K9WYQMNR7B540J9ABFCY and then buy a AP to connect to one of them on the 2nd floor work? its MoCA 2.0

is there a reason i should get the one you posted over this one or this one?

a token ring adapter? What are you looking to do specifically?

If you're looking to run ethernet over coaxial you'll need a pair of MoCa adapters, or slower DirecTV variant DECA adapters.

Here's 200Mb DECA for $23

100Mb DECA for $16

670Mb MoCa adapter pair for $125

or if you have 2 cable runs, 1400 Mb bonded MoCa for $150

Hmm..not sure what the pass through feature is. Perhaps I ordered the wrong adapter? Mine only has 1 coax port.

I've used powerline adaptors as well and they're definitly hit or miss. It was a great solution when I was in an apartment, but in my condo the signal jumps too many circuits and the signal degrades a bunch (I get 100mb/s internet and I was getting 20mb or 40mb depending on what socket the power line was plugged into)

I ended up going with some moca adaptors (got a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-MoCA-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6000K02/dp/B013J7L6BW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496281143&sr=8-3&keywords=moca+adapter) because I realized there were coax connections in all the rooms upstairs. So now I have my computer hard wired and I'm actually getting my advertised internet speeds.

So while I would tell people that powerlines are potentially a good alternative, I'd also give them a warning that it just might not work for them depending on the circuitry of where they live.

I’m using this in my setup and it works perfectly

https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-MoCA-Ethernet-Adapter-ECB6000K02/dp/B013J7L6BW

Another thing you could try, if you have a coax connection to your room for the TV, could be a pair of these or these ActionTec MoCA 2.0 Adapters

People actually use these to extend/improve their wireless.

These are much better. Yes, one will need to be hooked to your modem/router to feed internet over coax to the other adapters.

Sure

BUT vs a 1200mbps power line adapter you are looking at half the speed (~670mps) for 4x the price
