goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet Port. MoCA 2.5. 1x 2.5GbE Port. Provide 2.5Gbps Bandwidth with existing coaxial Cables. White(Single, MA2500D)

The goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter is a game-changer! I was blown away by how easy it was to set up. Within minutes, I had it connected to my existing coaxial wiring, and the whole process was practically plug-and-play. The only reconfiguration that was required was setting the adapters to use D-band high only due to the type of Spectrum WiFi Router I was using.Once up and running, the performance was stellar. I’m using Spectrum’s 1 Gb Internet service, and this adapter delivers consistent speeds of around 900 Mbps over my home network. It’s a huge improvement over Wi-Fi, especially for streaming, gaming, and working from home. The connection is rock-solid with no noticeable lag or dropouts.Overall, the goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter is worth every penny if you’re looking to maximize your internet speeds and eliminate the frustrations of unreliable Wi-Fi. Highly recommended!

I recently upgraded my home network with the goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter, and it has been an absolute delight. The first thing that impressed me was the sheer quality of the product. In the world of networking, where reliability and performance are key, this adapter stands out. It's well-built, robust, and gives off a sense of durability right from the get-go.One of the best aspects of this adapter is its simplicity and effectiveness. It's a 'plug-and-play' device that requires minimal setup. From the moment I integrated it into my network, it just worked flawlessly. There were no frustrating configuration issues or compatibility problems, which is often a concern with network adapters. The 2.5GbE Ethernet port is a notable feature, offering high-speed data transfer that's perfect for streaming, gaming, or any heavy internet usage.Another aspect worth mentioning is the absence of any notable issues. Often, with networking equipment, there might be occasional glitches or drops in performance, but that hasn't been the case here. This reliability is something I truly appreciate, as it allows for a seamless internet experience without the need for constant troubleshooting or adjustments.However, a piece of advice for anyone considering this adapter: make sure to use a high-quality splitter that can handle the 5-2500Mhz range. This is crucial for ensuring that you get the most out of the adapter and avoid any potential bottlenecks in your network setup.In summary, the goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter is a top-notch choice for anyone looking to enhance their home network. Its high-quality build, ease of use, and reliable performance make it an excellent investment. Just remember the tip about the splitter, and you'll be set for a smooth, high-speed networking experience.

I'll start this review off by saying I'm super happy with my purchase. Setup took me, an IT professional, about an hour, but that will vary based on your local wiring. My biggest recommendation for any one purchasing is to do some homework first on setting up MoCa and what roadblocks you may run into. Below is a summary of my existing setup and a high level overview of the steps I took to get setup, along with my final thoughts. I include some basic latency testing and speed testing information near the bottom. For anyone interested in the MoCA splitter and filter I used, I have included links below.Background: I use an Asus AiMesh Wi-Fi system in a house built in the late 1800s. Basically every room was added on at some point by a person with some free time and spare lumber, so nothing is to code, or even remotely associated with any other room in the house. I've wanted to run Ethernet throughout the house since I moved in, but due to the inherent challenges of multiple, hard-to-access crawl spaces and no attic, I was left with very little options outside of my office other than a spotty mesh Wi-Fi systemMy goal:Having just upgraded to fiber, I had a house full of unused coax cable. I wanted to send Ethernet over this, and effectively "wire" in my access points. However, I wanted to ensure that if a future owner or myself wanted to return to copper/cable internet, that it wouldn't impact this setup.-- What I bought:- 2-pack of goCoax- 1 pack BAMF Coax MOCA-compatible Coax Splitterhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B017T9KF1S- 1 pack PPC MoCA POE filterhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SLD9QPH-- How I accomplished it:- OUTSIDE:First, I had to crack open the Spectrum box on the outside of my house. Inside, there were a bunch of disconnected coax runs and a single filter connection coming from the outside line to my internet line, along with another "filter"-type device that had a ground line connected to it. I removed their filter and ground connection, and replaced it with the BAMF 4 way splitter on the "In" connection. I also connected the PPC filter in between the outside line and the BAMF filter (so it looked like line from road -> PPC filter -> BAMF "in" port on 4 way splitter). Finally, and this is super important, I connected the ground wire I had removed from the Spectrum filter/bracket to the new BAMF splitter, which has two spots, one on each side, to connect the ground wire. While a ground wire isn't 100% required, it's very important to preserve your equipment.From there, I connected all of the coax runs I wanted to use to the "Out" ports on the BAMF splitter. I then made sure everything fit in the box and closed it up.- INSIDE:Took a two foot piece of Coax and connected it to the coax wall jack where my access point was. Powered up the goCoax unit, connected the two foot piece of coax to it, and ran the Ethernet line to my access point's WAN port.Where my cable modem was originally hooked up and my primary router was, I hooked up the other goCoax box, powered it up, and ran the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on my primary router.Power cycled my access point and waited.Within a few moments, the Ethernet and MoCA lights both lit up on both goCoax devices, and I ran some ping and speed tests. Was getting my max internet speed at the access point, with zero dropped packets. Pinging another device on my network, I averaged 3-4ms of latency with no jumps. Moved a large file between devices at 100MBps, not quite 1Gbps speeds but way, way faster than my Wi-Fi had been. That access point is now getting the fastest speeds I've ever had in that part of the house with super low latency, and I can use it as a jumping off point for additional Ethernet runs.-- SUMMARY:For $60 a piece, these devices are amazing. They required zero setup in terms of configuration, all plug and play, and the most time consuming part was prepping the existing coax setup in my home by adding the MoCA splitter and filtering the outside line. These two steps for essential for ensuring the coax was actually tied together, and that the MoCA signal was not escaping into the outside line. I have some other coax runs in my home and I'll absolutely be buying more of these goCoax units to equip there. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a total believe in this product. If you have a house full of coax cable and want to put it to good use, this is absolutely the product to buy!
