## Description

Product description Turn Coax Cables into an Ultra-Fast Network that’s more convenient than Ethernet and more secure than Wireless. The optimal solution in most cases would be a direct-wired Ethernet (RJ-45) connection. However, for most users, this is an expensive and troublesome option. Alternative technologies, including WiFi and WiFi Extenders offer connectivity but often continue to have connectivity issues. Existing coaxial cables are already installed throughout many homes and businesses. When these existing coaxial cables are NOT being used for passing Cable TV/Cable Internet services, they provide the perfect physical medium to create s a network connection that is both higher performing and more secure than wireless technology. Leverage the Existing Coaxial Cables/ Network in Your Home or Business Take advantage of the low- cost networking infrastructure you already have to deliver an affordable Internet solution. Enhance Your Streaming Video Experience via G.hn Forward Error Correction (FEC) technology is designed to improve video quality and minimize video lag. Turn Your Coax Cables Into an Ultra- Fast Network Connect up to 32 devices within a G.hn Coax Adapter cable network.

Review: Fantastic and very fast - I purchased these to plug in my wireless access point on our third-floor house (via a cable connection) to get strong wifi from the main router in the basement where we have our cable modem and a wired access point transmitting wifi. I connected the TX unit to our router in the basement. The cable modem is 2.5Gbps speed, as is the router. I pay for 1Gbps via my internet provider. With the 2.5Gbps overhead, I am able to achieve real-world 1Gbps speeds. You will not get the true ISP speed you are paying for without this overhead. Our house does not have ethernet cables routed through the walls; instead, we have the typical coax (Cable) wiring originally run for the now obsolete cable television because the house was built in 2003. Therefore I do not have the luxury of ethernet cable plugging into my wireless access point on the third floor, from our Cable modem/router in the basement. Here is the gold at the end of the rainbow, these babies fixed my problem with ease. They are fantastic and very fast. I did not need to run ethernet cable through the wall, which would be a nightmare scenario in my house. With an existing internet signal coming in from the street into my cable modem via coax cable, these units CO-EXIST with this data, despite other reviews online based on the prior, slower models that you cannot use the units if you have an existing internet signal running through your coax cables. So....I plugged the transmission unit in the basement into the router, its other end into the coax cable in the basement that runs upstairs to my third-floor office behind the wall. The receiver unit is on the third floor plugged into the coax cable on one end (coming out of the wall), and the ethernet end into my mini-switch, which feeds the wired Access Point via ethernet cable, and the speed is sustained at 932Mbps !!! So, why is this such a big deal? 1) They are 2.5Gbps, which gives you plenty of room to achieve true 1Gbps speeds (if you are paying for that with your ISP) - given the overhead I explained above 2) You do not need to run an ethernet cable from one extreme end of the house to the other inside your walls, simply utilize your existing coax cables 3) They are super cheap to buy 4) Plug and play, absolutely no configuration! By the way, I should mention you can go straight into your computer on the receive side, you do not need to go into a switch. In my case, I do because I need to provide Wifi to the upper floors via an access point because the access point Wifi signal in the basement cannot reach the second and third floors with a healthy speed performance (the whole reason I did this) Enjoy! Highly recommend!
Review: 1200 Mbps is impossible! But great for 1000 Mbps. - 1+ year update... These units seem to be capable of delivering max around 500 Mbps in data thruput, in a point-to-point (read best case) scenario. Works fine for my use case, but YMMV. 1200 Mbps advertized is total thruput, i.e. if you deploy these units (at least 4 units) within your home coax infrastructure then you have theoretical potential of achieving 1200 Mbps thruputs simultaneously across multiple units. However thats raw thruput in an ideal environment, so practically you will see a lot lower. I do not have 4 units deployed as such so I cannot confirm the actual thruput in that scenario. I would hope the actual total thruput in that scenario would be 600+ Mbps. Original review below... This has worked out quite well for my use case. Existing isolated coax cable run (as part of a previous dish setup that I do not use), to supply data at 1Gbps from one to the other end of the house. I haven't tested thruput but I can confirm I am able to get 100+ Mbps. Hooked on to an unmanaged switch feeding a WAP, I was able to run multiple lag-free HD streams simultaneously while getting 200+ Mbps reading from a phone connected to the WAP. For my use case, installation was too easy, simple plug and play. In my case, I tested out the system with a shorter coax cable confined to my desk to make sure the units worked and weren't DoA. The units seemed to come with default hard coded IP of 192.168.0.5, which seems to not matter in my 192.168.1.x subnet. So, in other specific cases I cannot say what will happen: 1. If you're running these in a 192.168.0.x subnet. If theres IP conflict you will have to resolve it somehow. 2. If you utilize your house's built-in "coax network", YMMV. It will all depend on the complexity and quality of the network, types, qualities and counts of splitters and filters used throughout etc. Do keep in mind, you can only use these if you're not getting your internet via cable, and/or you're not subscribing to cable TV. More technically speaking, you need to ensure the frequencies currently utilized within your coax network does not fall within the frequency range used by G.hn ethernet over coax specs. So, I could've also gotten and used MoCA for my use case, which seems to be more future friendly and expandable option (i.e. I could later move it over to my coax network to coexist with cable internet). I chose this to try out G.hn technology and also save about $30 compared to the cheapest MoCA bonded 2.0 pair I could find (motorola). One annoyance I would like to mention (but not deduct a star for), is the claim of 1200 Mbps. This is impossible, as the units have built-in 1000 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet port. No switch I know will be able to supply it anything higher than 1000 Mbps. Although it may be possible for the two modules to speed up transmission of data once in the unit to send to the other unit. However the other end connecting to a switch will again be negotiated down to 1000 Mbps max. So yeah 1200 Mbps is impossible, even in theory!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these units come with power adapters (2)?**
A: Yep.

**Q: Do i have to turn off if i dont use it?  I found the unit runs very hot.**
A: No

**Q: What is the power supply requirements?  is it 12v dc - we are considering this for use in an environment without ac voltage.**
A: It uses a standard 120v AC household wall plug.  To use it without an AC hookup, look for a device called a "power inverter" which changes 12v DC to 120v AC.  Depending on the amount of juice you need, they can be pretty inexpensive.  Just wondering, but how do you have a coax outlet somewhere with no electrical plugs?  AND, without AC current, how are you going to plug in the smart TV or computer to use the ethernet signal in the first place?  If it's someplace like a backyard shed, don't buy these.  Just run an industrial extension cord together with a couple hundred foot long Cat6 cable and you'll come out a lot cheaper.

**Q: What's the power usage for these devices?**
A: 5v and .5 amps I believe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING PRODUT *** AWSOME RESULTS ** LOT OF $$$ SAVINGS
*by M***K on May 9, 2020*

AWESOME Outcome of Saturday morning, want to share if anybody wants to implement this in their home As we all know, Verizon and Comast put the modem in the basement. They claim that today's routers are powerful enough to give speedy internet throughout the home. I had issues with the internet towards the far end of the house. After doing a lot of research and trying at least 2 products finally got this to work. Purchased a product name "CComtrend GCA-6000 kit," it is Ethernet over the COAX Adapter kit. This device allows an Ethernet signal to transfer over the current TV Cable. You plug in one device to your basement router and another device to the other end of the TV wall outlet. if you hardwire the device, it gets "full speed". I connected another Linksys router on the other end, and that area is now blazing fast. I have a 1GB connection and now using this device I get full 1GB(Hard wired) on the other end. There are two speeds one from the Verizon router to the Verizon Hub and then your device to the Verizon Router. I got great speeds on both levels. **SAVING ON VERIZON EXTENDER FEE FOR EVERY MONTH from now on ** The only limitation is that the COAX cable should not have any other traffic, which means current cable should not be used for TV transmission, which most of the homes switched to Wifi based devices anyway. Anybody have the same problem can look into this option here is a link for the device. Highly recommend thisi product, installation was extremely easy(it took me more time to find out which COAX I need to connect as I have 7 COAX outlets :-) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRV4WA1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
