Reddit mentions of MOTOROLA MOCA Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax, 1,000 Mbps Bonded 2.0 MoCA (Model MM1000)

moca goes over coax not phone line so the wire used for your tv. It won't coexist with satellite services but will work just fine with cable. https://smile.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR

Okay... So here's the thing.

Double-duty devices suck, your cable modem is dying, and well you can do better.

Here's my suggestion.

Find out what kind of cable modem you need from your ISP, and if MoCa is supported. Go ahead and just buy the modem from Amazon, in a year you will have it paid off in rental fees. Keep in mind, you will need to know what version of docsys and the multiplexing necessary for your connection. Going over the spec could be good future proofing if your ISP upgrades service.

If your new modem supports MoCa, MoCa adapters can allow you to run your network through your existing household coax. I think you have to have a modem/router bundle to do this, but if you don't want to run wires this is the best way. It also means that by adding a MoCa adapter to TVs, things like gaming consoles and media streamers will have optimal connection.

You may also want to look into mesh networking for wifi, you put a little nodes around your house that connect to each other and as long as the chain of nodes eventually gets to the main router you will have perfect wifi everywhere.

Been considering this myself, but looking at buying 2 of these as they are cheaper and seem to be the same specs.

Also, do not forget to get a Point of Entry filter.

Have you looked into a MOCA type connection? It uses existing coaxial cable runs to transmit your data throughout the house. Of course this only works if you have coaxial cable already installed. Below is a link to one I use.

First, I would suggest this MoCA adapter. Cheaper and Motorola generally makes reliable equipment.

Second, you just need to make sure the coax line your modem is hooked up to is split somewhere and also connected to the room you want the other adapter to be. You'll also want to purchase a MoCa filter to keep your MoCa in and block any other outside MoCa that others may not have blocked on their own.

Filter, MoCA "POE" Filter for Cable TV Coaxial Networking ONLY https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DC8IEE6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qoL4AbWDKZV5D

You'll just need one on the input cable to your home. Best outside where the exterior cable line meets your interior cable line.

I work for a cable company that uses MoCa extensively and I'm a huge fan of it. I've seen MoCa give 200-300 mb consistently using MoCa 2.0. Next best thing to straight Ethernet.

MoCA, by far.

Powerline is susceptible to interference from pretty much any electrical thing you do in the house. Imagine the internet/network going out each time someone turns on a hair dryer or microwave.

A good pair of MoCA adapters will also get you up to 10x the performance.

two of these will PROBABLY work (plug it in, you're done)

You can "fix" the lights by getting some of these and placing it over the light. Also consider sharpee-ing over things. An alternative is a little bit of paper (sharpee over it) and tape.
https://www.amazon.com/Post-Original-Pop-up-Refill-Inches/dp/B000BL86A4/

A pair of moca adapters would work.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077Y3SQXR/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1521112914&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=moca+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=31V5B2UAu1L&ref=plSrch

Then you can either plug in straight from there or add an AP. Powerline adapters are an option but it's 50/50 if they'll work.

I have bonded Moca and Eero Pros on ethernet backhaul throughout the house.

​

I used Holland brand moca splitters of various types on every cable split in the house.

I used Motorola bonded Moca adapters as they were significantly cheaper than their Actiontec counterparts, used to be $170 for a 2 pack. Since they've been out Actiontec was forced to lower their pricing.

I have gigabit speeds everywhere.

yup.... finally MoCA is good.

just bought a 2 story house (no basement) so running between 1st and 2nd floor meant some serious drywall work (3 rooms upstairs and 2 downstairs needed wiring) .... OR, i could just use the existing coax.

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1535939225&sr=1-2&keywords=moca&dpID=31V5B2UAu1L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

this bad boy hits 1Gbps and there currently is no reason to go higher than that as I don't have a 10G port on anything in my network.

This works well. Full gig speeds. MOTOROLA MOCA Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax, 1,000 Mbps Bonded 2.0 MoCA (Model MM1000) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Y3SQXR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_OuuADbATVN0V0

Do you have coaxial cable in your house? I highly recommend looking into a MoCa adapter if you do. I have a Motorola one set up in my house and I get almost no loss in speed or latency.

They cost about $65 each on Amazon, and you'll need at least two, one for the entry point and one for exit point

Otherwise, you can use a service called Speedify, which uses a VPN to share traffic between all your network interfaces. It's a bit hit and miss though, but it has a free trial if you want to test it out.

Use MoCA if you have coaxial to support it. I decided to spend the money on 3 adapters (2 action-tec and 1 motorola) and pair them with 2 4-port switches and couldn't be happier. Now I'm able to get a full 100+Mbps on my gaming PC, TV, XBO, PS4, second PC and, if necessary, my SteamLink.

May want to use a coax tester prior to dropping the money though to make sure you have decent connections everywhere.

interesting product, i have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Y3SQXR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and has helped me with getting 1GB (actual about 850-950mb/s which is fine). I have fios gigabit and the router they supply was moca 1.0 and i was getting 480 mb/s as you know is max through coax.

what do you mean by your devices aren't communicating?

Not sure why you need a splitter at all. the moca 2.0/2.5 devices are attached after the router at the "main end" in order to double the max coax internet speed which is 400-500 mb/s.

Think of your internet via ethernet giving you max gigabit speed, and the moment you connect it to your coax wall, it immediately goes half speed. So even though I have fios gigabit, its the same thing.

so in my basement my internet comes into the house via ethernet and I connect it to my fios modem/router (which stupidly is moca 1.0, i.e. where my issues begin with the half speeds!)

• you then connect the moca 2.0/2.5 adapter from one of your router lan ports
  
• other end of moca adapter is coax which then goes into your wall
  
• in every other room, you will need another moca adapter which will change the coax connection into an ethernet port for your 2nd router like you have in your diagram
  
  Summed up:
  
  MODEM > ROUTER > LAN CABLE > MOCA 2.0/2.5 adapter > coax cable > Coax wall = internet now running through your house via coax behind your walls
  
  THEN in your other rooms
  
  WALL > coax cable > moca adapter > lan cable > switch > devices (i am unsure if you need another router before your switch)
  
  Only difference between cox and fios is how the internet comes into your house so this diagram should work, no need for splitters unless you need TV which in your adapter manual, will tell you how to do.
  
  TIP THAT I USE:
  
  For every room that gets spotty WIFI, instead of using a moca adapter, just buy a moca 2.0 range extender! It's the same thing except it also gives you wifi!
  
  WALL > coax cable > range extender (moca 2.0) > LAN line > my office PC. Since my office is on the 2nd floor and the bedrooms get spotty internet the extender gives strong wifi signals to the upper floor since my internet comes into my house in the basement.

I agree with /u/HazyAttorney /u/Rebellious_Rhino and /u/MisterElectric should really look into [this device] (https://www.amazon.com/d/Modems/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/B077Y3SQXR/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1540233182&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=moca&psc=1) if they have a coax cable available where their Xbox/PS4 are. This would help tremendously if not stop it completely.

This is the second time I've heard this. I actually do have coax in both.... What's the difference between yours and this .One

A simple powerline kit will do the trick. Powerline networking is generally not recommended because it is often slow and depends on how good the wires in your walls are. However, since you're just hooking up a printer, speed doesn't matter. If you have anything else next to the printer like a computer that you also want to hook up, you'll want to use MOCA (two of these ) for a much faster and more reliable connection.

so it would be a "decent pairing"

In terms of "as close to ethernet as possible" you'll probably want to do MoCA if you have ethernet from A:B
https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR one of these per area (if need be you could potentially splice a cable)

MoCA works absolutely fantastic in my experience. I use these boxes from Motorola. Gigabit speeds no issue. Just be sure any coax splitters are bi-directional.

Mesh Wi-Fi, where an AP gets an uplink from another AP, is bery questionable at best. If you are going to have multiple APs (reasonable), they should all have their own wire. Which can be MoCA.

Sounds like it should. I have a similar setup. Mine goes
Fios ONT>coax>splitter>moca box> one side goes to my router/Other end goes out to another splitter that feeds the rest of the house. Then there are moca devices at each point I want signal.

From what I've read, you'll need to add a filter to prevent your signal from going out to other homes, unless you're on fios, then you don't need to.

For reference, here is the splitter and moca boxes I use and I havent had issues. The specific splitter I have says unvailable, but you should be able to get nother one with the same specs easily.

Splitter

Motorola Moca Adapter

I assume that you have a coax splitter wherever the cable reaches your house. That might be in a box outside or somewhere inside the house. From this splitter, coax cables run to the various outlets in your house.

It looks like there is only one coax port on the TG1682G: https://fccid.io/UIDTG1682-3/External-Photos/External-Photos-2853842

This means that the MoCA communication signal is sent back out through the same coax wire that the DOCSIS signal providing your internet access comes in. MoCA would then travel back to the splitter and out to all coax outlets attached to that splitter. Hopefully the splitter doesn't block MoCA signals. If so, you'd need to replace it with one that allows them through. Ideally you'd add a MoCA filter to the coax coming into the house before it gets to the first splitter in order to prevent your internal MoCA data from leaving your home.

You would then use a single MoCA 2.0 adapter like the Motorola MM1000 in your home-office with the incoming coax connected to its Network coax plug and your ethernet devices (via a switch or wireless access point) connected to its ethernet plug.

Something like this?

The PS4 has notoriously bad WiFi, especially if you have one of the originals (not a Slim or Pro). The 2.4 GHz band in particular is terrible for gaming because of inconsistent latency. If you can’t run an Ethernet cable, I’d suggest something like a powerline or MoCA adapter.

I have a PS4 Pro and I was getting constant lag, “Error 201,” etc. even though my console was about 15 feet from my wireless router with maximum signal on my 5 GHz network. Running some Ethernet cable fixed almost everything. I still get the occasional bit of lag, but it’s pretty rare and I haven’t gotten dropped from a match in over a year.

I’m not trying to put 100% of the blame on your connection, by the way. BF2 just seems very sensitive to latency spikes compared to other games.

For gaming, I would use wired. It's so much less of a headache. No wierd latency issues because of wifi, it's so much less if a hassle. If you don't have a nearby ethernet jack to connect to the router, I would setup a moca network with these, which go through your cable connection. Verizon FiOS used to be installed with moca, so if you have FiOS you may have moca already.

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR

Oh ok, so like the motorola moca adapter. (https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR)

I could go from cable company coax -> modem -> router -> LAN ---ethernet--> the motorola device --coax---> MoCA hub (https://www.amazon.com/BAMF-8-Way-Splitter-Bi-Directional-5-2300MHz/dp/B01M34OZ2S)

from there I can add up to 16 motorola adapters around the house at the destinations?

That means installing ethernet ports on the walls in the room(s) where you want ethernet to be available and running ethernet cable(s) through your walls to where your modem/router is (or perhaps to a network switch) so you can connect the PCs in your room to your modem/router via ethernet cable.

You could also use powerline ethernet adapters, which provide ethernet connectivity using power outlets:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/everything-you-need-to-know-about-powerline-networking/

Or if you have coaxial (cable) ports in the rooms, there are adapters that do the same over those lines (called MoCa adapters), which may be more reliable, such as this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR

That router looks fine, DOCSIS 3.0 (or 3.1) is all it needs to say to know that it should work.

When you say "main box", do you mean Set Top Box? What make and model is that?

You need to connect your SmartTV to the Internet to make it Smart. Is it connected wirelessly? That would be enough, but you could also use MoCA to connect it, potentially. You can get your own MoCA bridge on Amazon, try this Motorola product:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Y3SQXR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_QGb3Cb0EJ1X20

MoCA uses the Coax cable in your house and piggybacks an Ethernet signal on top of the digital cable signal. You would need a pair of them, if the router doesn't support MoCA natively (it doesn't look like the MG7315 does).

If you have coax in rooms you need internet in, use these. https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=motorola+moca&qid=1558379378&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

I have a few in my house. The work perfectly!

That's what they want you to think :) you can purchase a moca adapter and it will take care of your TV. This is the one I use

In fact I have a few of them around the house, they are quite handy. Only one is necessary though.

If you have a coax connection you could always use a pair of good quality MoCA adapters like these:

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR

Currently my set up is the following:


ONT -> Netgear R7000 (Through the ONT ethernet) -> Motorola MM1000 MoCA Adapter https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR (the MoCA adapter is also connected to the coaxial on the wall that is connected to the ONT coaxial). -> Verizon VMS 1100 Quantum STB

If I'm understanding what you are saying correctly the STB shouldn't be connected to the MoCA adapter directly? Currently I have it set up to the device output of the MoCA adapter.

​

I tried buying a moca to ether net adapter to get a wired connection. After buying a $60 adapter(the Motorola one) it didn't I work. After some research I found the signal that the directv adapter sends through the rest of the house is purposely slowed down so you can't do this.

Edit: after re-reading your post, the direct tv ones you mention only go one way, from the router to coax. This might/should work.Motorola adapter

Get a MOCA adapter if you have a coax (cable) connector in the room. Most ISP’s routers support MOCA. (Comcast, Spectrum, COX) in my experience so far. It’s very close to Ethernet speeds. Better than WiFi and EOP for sure.

MOCAadapter$69

Power line is trash, high amperage loads on the same breaker will make you lag, like when momma makes those dank ass pizza bites in the microwave.

Bulk Dank Pizza bites $82

Clear choice

Yes, Im getting Fiber Optic Cable TV.

How about this MOCA Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517449652&sr=8-3&keywords=moca+adapter

Would I need 2?

I don't think it actually makes a difference. The unit sends and receives data on the same port/cable. By the way, motorola sells a cheaper MoCA adapter.

The following are the tools I used to add a new cable line for MoCA to an old room on my land:

​

*NOTE: THIS SETUP DOES NOT APPLY TO A FIOS SERVICE PROVIDER.*

​

(optional) MoCA POE Filter for Cable TV Coaxial Networking - This goes onto the incoming COAX Cable. Sometimes your provider does use the same frequency as the MoCA signal to manage with its devices. So This makes sure that your signal is safe to use, and doesn't interfere with your providers own management. This is optional because it depends on your layout. If you live in an apartment complex or area with multiple houses connected (wall to wall) , I HIGHLY recommend you purchase this to prevent your neighbors from receiving and possibly connecting to your network. You should connect this as follows: |Incoming COAX > MoCA POE Filter|

​

2-Way Coax Cable Splitter Bi-Directional MoCA - This allowed me to split my incoming cable so that I can reuse the same line leading to the outside of my house. You can also use it if all your lines are internal, but I digress. It allows you to split and connect multiple rooms (while being safe for MoCA signals). Ideally it goes: | Incoming COAX > MoCA POE Filter > MoCA Cable Splitter > Every room you want connected (including router) |

​

​

MOTOROLA MOCA Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax, 1,000 Mbps Bonded 2.0 - This is what you use to connect both ( or more) ends of the MoCA network. At the end of it all, this is how your network should look:

The internet comes into your house via | Incoming Coax > MoCA POE Filter > MoCA Cable Splitter > COAX Cable leading to MoCA Adapter > MoCA Adapter > Modem > Router (WAN port). |

​

At this point your router is connected to the internet. The connection to the rest of your house is a follows: | Router via LAN port > MoCA Adapter that's connecting to your Modem > MoCA signal travels down your internet Coax > returns to the MoCA Cable Splitter > Coax split from cable splitter, leading to other section of house > MoCA Adapter > Device or switch |

​

(optional) QUAD SHIELD SOLID COPPER 3GHZ RG-6 Coax Cable - I needed to order cable because the room I connected had no coax leading to it. If you need to buy cable, make sure you measure the distance away from the splitter, BASED ON the path you plan to lay the COAX cable on. Then add a few feet "just in case". If you don't need to run new cable, this is a non issue, and can be safely not purchased. Also, this particular cable was not pre-terminated, so I had to terminate and crimp the ends myself which may not be for everyone. Pre-made cables are available, albeit a bit more expensive.

​

(optional) Waterproof Connectors Crimping Tool - This is the tool I used to crimp my COAX cable. If you don't need to terminate your own cables, you don't need to buy this tool.

​

(optional) Rotary Drill Bit - I only needed this because I had to drill in from the outside (old house). You may also need to use this if you have to add a new hole in your wall, for a brand new coax connection. Needless to say, this is optional.

​

(optional) Coaxial Wall Plate - I used this to add the coax cable to my wall. It makes it look nice but isn't "technically" necessary. Use it as you see fit.

​

(optional) 3ft BLACK QUAD SHIELD SOLID COPPER 3GHZ RG-6 Coaxial Cable - This connects the coax wall plate to the branched off network (and devices) Use as you see fit.

​

*NOTE: THIS SETUP DOES NOT APPLY TO A FIOS SERVICE PROVIDER.*

​

If you have any questions, let me know. all the items I listed above can be swapped out for cheaper or more locally accessible items at will. Just be sure yo do your research first.

I was going to go with this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR

I'm using Motorola MoCA (have 3 installed) for transit in my home using coax. Though, I'm not currently using DirectTV, specs appear they should be supported. I'm able to pull off-air HD signals via the cable without issue.

Is there a coax between the places? (Cable TV).


MOTOROLA MOCA Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax, 1,000 Mbps Bonded 2.0 MoCA (Model MM1000) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Y3SQXR/

I installed these at a friends house, they worked great.

I would use a MOCA bridge if it's difficult to get an ethernet run. https://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Adapter-Ethernet-Bonded-MM1000/dp/B077Y3SQXR

Get two Amplifi HD Routers or Google WiFi Pucks wired together using two MOCA Ethernet Adapters. Those would serve you well for your apartment. I say this because I’m guessing you have cable outlets in your computer room for the cable modem and outlets in the living room for a TV.

With a MOCA adapter and Amplifi HD or Google WiFi Puck setup in each of those locations you would see 450mbps speeds near the routers, and good WiFi signal throughout the apartment with gigabit wired Ethernet available in the Computer Room and Living Room.

I’ve had great luck with my Amplifi HD system (3 routers) and with Google WiFi.

Both are easy setup and give you great WiFi speeds but realize that no system aside from unreleased 802.11AX routers will give you gigabit speeds wirelessly.

Ethernet wired Google WiFi pucks and Amplifi HD routers give me around 450mbps max. That’s about the best you can get until the 802.11AX stuff comes to market and even then your devices won’t be able to use it.

If you choose to setup Google WiFi or Amplifi systems using the wireless mesh, speeds will be further reduced (220mbps or less depending on signal). Nevertheless that should be more than adequate for what you listed for your uses.

Amplifi is running a special right now for $100 off for switching from a competitive system. You might try that.
