Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter ECB6200 - Media converter - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, MoCA 2.0 - 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T - F connector / RJ-45

Worked perfectly, great solution

Short: -These are plug and play and work exactly as expected -The devices are well built and are the quality you would expect for the price -You should get typical wired ethernet speeds, no speed penalty -Make sure to set up all your splitters, amplifiers and filters properly before installing these devices -If using other MOCA devices, make sure to match the MOCA version number between all devices (i.e. don't buy the 2.5 adapters if you're trying to talk to an existing 2.0 device) Long: I moved to a house with tons of cable ports but no possible way to run ethernet. First looked at powerline adapters and decided they seemed too tricky, so I went for this instead. Turns out it was a fantastic choice. When I was first researching MOCA, I found a ton of ambiguous information, so I wanted to share in case it helps others. Instead of looking at forums, the best place to start is to search for the MOCA specification. That makes the whole technology a lot clearer, and contains information useful to the average person (not just technojargon). Essentially, it uses frequencies above those used by normal cable operation (1000MHz) to transmit ethernet without interfering with other signals. Before installing these adapters, make sure you set up all splitters and amplifiers in your house to be one that are MOCA compatible. You will also need to install a filter to prevent your ethernet from leaking out to the neighbors. If you've ever had Tivo or DVR installed, you may already have the correct components in place. I purchased these devices from Amazon and can confirm they worked with these adapters: Splitter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113JAN8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Amplifier: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077BCHVWZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also discovered that my wireless gateway (model DPC3941T) from Comcast supported MOCA natively. It was not enabled by default, but it was a simple toggle once logged into the device. This meant I only needed to purchase adapters for the endpoints where I actually wanted wired internet. The actual adapters are fantastic. I initially bought the 2 pack of MOCA 2.5 adapters. These are entirely plug and play. They power up and connect fast, and it was easy to get two nodes to recognize each other. The devices also feel well built. However, I then discovered that my gateway only supports up to MOCA 2.0. I returned the 2.5 adapters and replaced them with 2.0 adapters. They worked flawlessly first try. On a speed test, I get the same speeds using the MOCA adapters as by plugging directly into the router. Overall, I plan to buy more of these in the future. I look forward to MOCA 2.5 supported on more routers. Not all companies can be as on the ball as Actiontec.

Below is my original review… as I was so excited about how well this works. I am having stability issues and so need to get into troubleshooting. Basically the speed is fast, but unstable. So all is good unless I am using Zoom where I keep having dropouts. So hopefully I can report back soon with what the fix was. Until then my five stars is dropped one!?! … (Original review below) This works and blew my mind! I don’t often write reviews, but thought it good to share my experience with this one. First the negative - came with US power plugs so I needed to use adapters… the plugs work with 100v to 240v so basic adapters are all that is needed. Now the positive - I live in a massive old house with no way to get Ethernet cables to the third floor. The walls are thick. I found that there was some old coax cable in the walls. First I tested this on a table. It just worked. There is a light on each box to show the box has power, and then a light on each box to show the two boxes have found each other over the coax cable. Then I connected it to span a considerable distance and I am getting near gigabit speed (barely loosing anything). As far as I can tell Ethernet would be a little faster (Ethernet might get 920mb/s when this gets 900mb/s), so not by much. Also, in my setting, it adds a little to the ping (so it might be 15ms instead of 10ms). This is all from only about a half dozen tests so it could all be within a margin of error. Regardless it was super easy. It works well. If you have coax cable in an old house where you can’t run Ethernet I highly recommend this. This isn’t cheap but works well and came with a great array of extras in the box. The only thing it didn’t have (that I needed) was little adapters that go from wall plugs to the screw fitting on the end of coax cable, and the earlier mentioned US to UK power plug adapters. So if your wall fittings are not the screw on type you will need similar coax adapters, but may already have them.

Mein Problem: - Altbau - Mehrere Zimmer + Stockwerk zwischen Router und PC - WLan nicht möglich (zu schlechte Verbindung, zu viel Datenübertragungsverslust) - Kabel ziehen war mir zu aufwendig (50-70 Meter wären notwendig gewesen) Nachdem wir inzwischen in einem Zeitalter von Amazon Prime, Netflix und anderen Anbietern leben, nutzen wir unsere Satelliten-Schüssel inkl. der Verkabelung nicht. Also kam mich auf die Idee dieses Produkt auszuprobieren. Inzwischen ist auch der Preis von 100€ für beide Geräte komplett gerechtfertigt. (Beispielsweise ein WLan Repeater kostet schon um die 100€ und hier hätte ich gut 2-3 Stk gebraucht) Als der Netzwerk Adapter kam war ich erst noch Skeptisch. 1) Ich musste das Antennenkabel bei meinem Router durchschneiden und habe mit einem "F-Stecker für Koaxial Kabel" einen neuen Anschluss eingebaut. Anschließend konnte ich das Antennenkabel und Router verbinden. (Den F-Stecker an ein Antennenkabel zu machen bekommt jeder hin, hierfür reicht lediglich ein Cutermesser) 2) Bei meinem PC musste das gleiche gemacht werden, allerdings war hier die Anschlussbuchse für den TV schon vorhanden und konnte direkt in den Adapter gesteckt werden. optional 3) Unsere Verkabelung wurde stillgelegt (Keinen Verteiler bei der Satellitenschüssel), daher habe ich am Dachboden einfach beide Kabel (zum Router und zum PC) miteinander Verbunden. Hierfür habe ich den mitgelieferten Y-Adapter benutzt, diese sind eigentlich dafür gedacht Internet und TV gleichzeitig zu übertragen. 4) Sobald die Verbindung steht, verbinden sich beide Module automatisch und können benutzt werden. Ich musste hier keine Einstellung mehr vornehmen. Internet Übertrag: Ich habe eine 300MBit/s Leitung und bekomme auch die volle Bandbreite am PC an. Ich war hier mehr als überrascht, dass eine verlustfreie Verbindung über das alte Koax-Kabel möglich ist! Beide Adapter sind jetzt seit 4 Monaten durchgehend im Einsatz (tägliche PC Nutzung dank Homeoffice). Bis jetzt hatte ich noch keinen Ausfall der Adapter!! Hinweis: - Es müssen 2 Adapter für die Deutsche Steckdose bestellt werden "US to DE", diese haben mich 4,95€ gekostet. - Die F-Stecker haben mich für 4,90€ für 10 Stk gekostet
