Hitron MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter (2-Pack) NOT a Modem - Extends Internet Over Coax | NOT for Satellite/AT&T U-Verse | Works Cable/Fiber/DSL | Requires Connected Coax

Some context: I'm a System Administrator and a handy man. Girlfriend wanted wired internet but didn't want me going around and running ethernet cables in the wall or outside. ISP: XFinity Router Model: xFi Gateway XB6 Setup: Router has Moca built-in (you can verify this by logging into the GUI / Admin Console and ensure MoCA has a green check mark). Go to a Coax enabled room, plug the coax coming out of the wall into the left port the Hitron device, this will enable the device to also have ethernet. Plug an ethernet cable from the Hitron device to an ethernet ready device like a PS5 or PC. If you have a cable box, you may plug that into the right side coax on the Hitron device, as this is a passthrough. Note: You can utilize this, plug the ethernet port to a PoE switch / PoE injector and connect access points to further extend Wi-Fi coverage.

Excellent device with true plug/play operability. I'm using this device in conjunction with my MoCA enabled Xfinity XB8 router (in another room on the second floor) and it works flawlessly. You only need one MoCA adapter if you are using a MoCA enabled router - such as the XB8. You just have to make sure to enable the feature in the router admin settings. It's very easy to find. My speeds are perfectly acceptable at close to 800-900 Mbps with my gigabit service. Also, Hitron has outstanding customer service. I used their chat support service for a quick question regarding the lights on the device, and they were prompt, gave a perfect explanation - truly a great experience. I highly recommend this adapter and Hitron. And, no, I was not supplied with this device. I paid for it myself.

Not that a lot of people still have U-verse but it works just fine with it. It's just coax there's nothing random about it (it has worked for me over the past 6 months while using U-verse). Also this was great for helping me get a hard wired signal to my entertainment center so that I could take a whole bunch of stuff off of the Wifi. I didn't check transfer speeds but download and upload with my AT&T fiber were at or above the registered speed for the house. No complaints easy to set up and get running.

I wasn't sure exactly what I needed but after speaking with Amazon Customer Service and explaining what I needed I ordered this item. It was easy to install and it works great.

BOTTOM LINE These work great! I get full speed using speedtest.net (300 Mbps). BACKSTORY While I have a wireless mesh, I was having challenges with the reliability of the signal to my office. After many gyrations with the mesh configurations, I concluded that the only solution was to be "wired". However, based on the layout of the house and where the internet enters it, running Cat 5e/6 was going to be near impossible (without tearing out walls, a non-starter). So I started to research options and ran into MoCA. I live in 25 year-old house that has unused coax running to the office (I stream). The coax drop shares the same entry point as the internet provider's drop. I bought a cable tester to determine which line was "hot" to the office. I connected the Moca to a wireless satellite switch (main router in a different room) and was amazed at the speed and stability (initially). However, over time it (stability) degraded. I created a lab to isolate the problem and determined the MoCA devices were not the problem. After proving that the MoCA was fine and there were not NIC card issues, or cat 6 issues wire issues from MoCA to the computer NIC card, I had to conclude there was an issue with the coax. During my research I ran into a comment in passing, I think on Quora, where someone indicated that if the coax had a splitter it "might" degrade the signal. Using, this information, I traced the line and found the splitter in my basement and bypassed it. Instant stability! This lasted about two months until the weather changed and the attic heated up, then the stability issues cropped up again. I went into the attic and traced the coax line and discovered a second splitter. I bypassed it and have not had an issue since. AS AN ASIDE I use speedtest.net on Windows 10 with a Chrome browser and am getting my full bandwidth. I did download the Speedtest app and found it to be very inconsistent. I discovered that with the removal of the second splitter, the app was much more in alignment with the browser version's readings, but at times still inconsistent, typically slower than browser reading. I have written to speedtest about this and have not heard back. I was so pleased with the product, I bought a second pair of MoCA Ethernet adapters for my bonus room and connected it to my TV using a wireless access point switch. Using the app on Apple TV gives full speed bandwidth as well. UPDATE 2/18/2024 I ended up having one more degradation "issue" and ventured back up into the attic and discovered a 3rd splitter. I removed it and now after almost 8 months and 3 seasons, Summer, Fall and Winter, there are still no issues. In fact, it has been very stable. I don't expect any issues this Spring as the temperatures in NC are very moderate that time of year. I was so enamored I introduced a switch into the mix and connected the Hitron Bonded MoCA 2.5 Adapter output to it and then connected my desktop to the switch with no degradation. I also did two ethernet cat 6 line drops from attic and connected them to the switch for future use. I later used one drop for my television only to discover the TV NIC was limited to only 100 mps. Apparently, this is relatively normal for most TVs Ugh! I added a satellite to my mesh network and am getting above 100mps via the TV's wifi nic. I did test the television drop with my laptop and got the full 300 mps. Back the BOTTOM LINE, still very pleased with the product. NOTE: both sets of the product are in climate controlled portions of my house not the attic.

I picked these up to have a wired connection between sections of the house. Part of our home was an addition which made new Ethernet runs a bit of a pain once I looked into it. But the coax was already run and wasn't being used. So I removed some splitters and have a solid coax run from one end of the house to the other and the MoCA adapters at each end. Connectivity had been fantastic. Zero speed or connectivity issues. And no need to worry about any driver issues since these just establish a connection between themselves and your PCs or other networking gear just sees an incoming Ethernet connection. Installation is super simple. Just connect your power, coax, and Ethernet out to whatever device you need connected.

2026. So impressed that this works so well. Added new mesh router and used my old coaxial cable in the walls to mesh access points that would have been a pain to run ethernet cable. 3X faster than the wireless mesh connection.

Just what I needed, works great. Plug and play.

Gerät funktioniert einwandfrei

It's not 2.5gbps as it has a 1gbps port! Other than that I can get almost 950Mbps out of it. I would have gone with a 5 star rating if only the description was accurate

It works perfect perfectly

Das Teil wurde mit allem nötigen Zubehör geliefert. Funktionieren tat es ebenfall - zumindest ca. 7 Monate lang. So kann man das Gerät leider nicht weiter empfehlen.

Leider kam der Artikel mit einem US Netzteil, welches in Deutschland nicht passt. Jetzt also noch extra einen Adapter bestellen....
