I need to know the coax cable that comes into the house from the power supply (like a green box or in my case it's like a rv hookup for power to my travel trailer) is that good enough for a MoCA adapter to create internet through the ethernet connection. It's regular tv Coax cable not actual cable provider.
And part 2 of my question would be -- Do I need to just have one adapter for a hookup from the Coaxial cable and then ethernet cable to it from my computer if my computer is the only device I desire for internet? Or is there more I need.
Thank you so much.
Installed Moca few weeks back went from 25 mb 3 up on wifi 6 in the basement to 250 mb 12 up with just an hours worth of work. Thanks for the video! I now can stream/game at the same time if i wanted to!
Good, I am glad it worked. I was lucky that I found it and thought that others should know about it also.
Hey do I need a modem for this ?
@@Drewster301 yes
Moca device is always needed if you replace your ISP router with a firewall, and you have on demand TV. Thank you
you’re the first one i hear finally mention about moca router. i have one but can’t seem to figure out how to enable it. all i is one adapter it seems
I have the same issue now to go buy it.
@Roberts Reviews I would just make sure get a MoCA POE filter to stop the network from leaking into your neighborhood. Great video
Ulzrin, The Swift thanks
@@RobertsReviews Can these create a signal if you don't have an already existing tv cable connection or internet service connection/ router?
I'm so confused.
@@joeslacker1020 No.
My house is wired where all the cable ports all feed directly into a box in the garage. So what I'm doing on one of my unused cable port in my room is I'll connect MOCA to that, and I'll connect one to the unused cable port on the other side of the house that has the modem/wifi router. And then with a 3Ghz female connector, I'll connect both of those cables together in the box in the garage.
That way there is no signal to get out. Though since those cable wires aren't connected to the powered splitter thing thats in the box out in the garage, not sure if it has any ground protection. Will run it and see if the internet runs fine, if so then I'll leave it. But if there ends up being a problem or something, I might try to connect those wires together to the grounded splitter to see if that fixes anything issues, if they do occur.
I received a pair of these today from Amazon after doing lots of research online. I was skeptical and unfamiliar with moca technology. Same situation as you, was going to buy fish tape, keystone's, wallplates, punchdown tool, and cable to run across the attic. Even had an electrician quote $300 for the run. I'm using AT&T fiber and it works. Had it all hooked up in about 15 minutes. Extremely impressed with this product. I can't believe I never heard about it. Great video. Liked and subscribed.
I appreciate the kind words. I was really impressed by this device it promised something and it delivered.
Hey Mark, I also have AT&T fiber. Did you buy 2 of this device? Also do you have mesh wifi system? My extension device only sends about 170 Mbps but on my main I'm getting over 800. My goal was to hardwire the extension and get the speed up.
@@RobertsReviews what router do you have that has moca built-in
I got the Actiontec MOCA 2.5 as well, connected them over coax and tested using iperf. Set up iperf3 server on one end and the iperf3 client on other end but I get a max of 300Mbps and not 1gbps. If I connect an ethernet between the two iperf devices I get 960+Mbps (which is where I want to see the Mocs 2.5 adaptors rate)
Iam getting the same issue even after updating firmware from ver 16 to 18
Getting 320 mbs max between two ax88u wifi routers
@@mmarczuk1976 I solved the problem by using some iperf switches
I'm only 2:01 minutes into the installation video and I just wanted to say hello and thank you for your help I live in a group home in Michigan and I really appreciate you for your time and patience I decided to get tivo into my new house I want to rent in on my budget is 1000$ USD currency because of my disability and me and my mother sister wants to move back in together I Left the house at home because of a violent situation between me and her but now we are both feeling better 😮😅
Nice job brother ✌️❤️🔥
Mhajan Humtsoe thank you
I recently found out about MOCA and wish I learned of it years ago as my wifi on the other side of the house has always been terrible. And I even tried a repeater. I recently picked up the dual Asus XT8 mesh routers so I'll put one next to the modem, and then the other on the other side of the house that will be connected via MOCA. And since my streamer has an ethernet port, I'll connect that to the Asus XT8 node so my streamer box won't have to use wifi.
This helped me. Thank you
Drw Dc No.Problem anytime.
The old Wii, your a man of culture
Lol
I have it too
Awesome video. Question my internet provider is optimum they provided me with a ubee modem/router. I went on the ubee website and it says it’s moca enabled. Now that bein said does that mean I would only need one? My network is set up on the 1st floor so Can I just go up to my second floor and connect the moca 2.5 to the coax upstairs would it work? Or do you think I’ll need two?
From what I saw yes you would only need one. But make sure to look up the instructions to see if you have to turn it on. Routers usually do not come with the MOCA turned on. www.timewarnercable.com/content/dam/residential/pdfs/support/internet/ModemUserGuides/ubee-dvw32cb-userguide.pdf I am not sure if this the model you have.
Does this work if my modem also work as a router? Or would i have to enable bridge mode and get a new router?
Yo man. AWESOME VIDEO!! I was searching high and low for a youtuber to give an easy to understand moca setup video and u did just that. I was banging my head against a wall just because NOBODY on youtube was just properly showing something that should be easy to show. I don't like videos often but I'm actually going to like this video just because of how nicely you showed and explained it. I just have three questions. 1st) 6:27 The other end of the yellow wire was plugged in to your router right? 2nd) In other videos, I see people showing two splitters on each end. I plan on connecting moca to my ps3 (no cable tv or anything. Just ps3 connected via moca) Do I only need one splitter or two splitters? 3) Why do I even need splitters if I dont plan on using cable tv?
One end of the yellow wire (network cable) went from the moca to my laptop. I only needed one moca device because router that is in the other room has moca built into it. You do not need a splitter no.
@@RobertsReviews Ohhhhhh that makes sense. So, assuming that my router doesn't have built-in moca (which it probably doesn't), I am going to need two moca devices, connect one of them like you did but the other one will be connected to the router via ethernet right?
@@LastGenRichtofenn that I am not sure. I am out of my league now.
@@RobertsReviews okay. Its all good
At the start of the video you plugged your latop into a yellow cable, was there a second laptop at 6:27?
Point missing is your router may support MOCA but there are as of this date 4 version Moca 1,1.1, 2 and 2.5. If you buy a 2.5 Version MOCA Adapter you will not get MOCA 2.5 speed if you MOCA Router only supports MOCA 1 or 1.1. Also COX, Spectrum only give you 300 download, uploads are always poor. FIOS and Optimum and I think RCN give you up and download speed that are equal.
Besides a MoCa PoE filter you should also check the length of the the cable(s) and possible interference along it's path. Some places with a lot of either or both of these factors could be solved by switching to quad shielded coax cables and/or in extreme circumstances conduit. With the increases in electronics and many types of wireless signals in residential areas these problems are becoming increasingly common.
OMG who is going to steal your internet? SERIOUSLY POE!
That's just paranoid, and these cheap devices HAVE encryption, which when enabled prevents creepy neighbors from snatching your service. What the F are you bantering about, when all you have to do is click a button on the Admin UI to prevent this?!?
Boooo... are you one of those FEW people stealing internet service? How do you know about this easily preventable crime?!?
How do I know whether to order the 2.0 or the 2.5 MoCa? I have a hardwired only set up here....okay....you just answered that....yes, fingers crossed.
I know this videos pretty old but I'm wondering, if I have a coax jack (not sure what to call it) in my bedroom for example and I have my modem in my living room connected with a coax cable to the wall in my living room, would just buying one adapter, connecting it to the wall in my bedroom, and plugging the ethernet from my pc to the adapter work?
You have to check and see if you have MOCA built into your Router. Check with the maker of the router and or your ISP.
Newbie question. Home built in 2016 and all rooms have coax TV outlets. I believe all these cable wires run into garage into a box located on outside wall. I don't have a structured media panel or anything like that. Can I just put one of these devices at each room or do I need another device at that garage wall side? Thanks!
I am using this for the internet. From what I understand and what I am using it for. I needed one in the room and I had to turn the MOCA device on in my router.
Hey Was the black cable box from Comcast , the one to watch TV?
No, It is a COX cable box, but this will work on COMCAST also. Should not have any problems just for info; I am doing a review on another MOCA device by Translite Global that should be out today... I am hoping if I can get it all edited in time.
I have the same service and probably router as you ( Internet ultimate 500, DTC4331 Modem) I don't get my moca until Monday, but i was wondering how did you turn on the Moca setting on the modem? Or was it automatically on. I know they been turning off the setting for internet only subscribers but I'm on tv + internet + phone bundle so hopefully they don't turn it off on me.
You have to log into your router and turn it on. They have it turned off by default. By default the ip is 193.168.0.1 username is admin and password is all lowercase “password”.
Very useful
Medi Music Studio thank you I am trying.
I have FIOS giga speed. My main router is a gateway G3100 and is MOCA enabled 2.5. I have 2 coax cable connections in my basement. One in the office and the other in the TV room. I would like to add one MOCA adapter in the office via coax to the wall and an ethernet cable from my desktop to the adapter. Does the MOCA have to be hooked to the router via a splitter?
No, I only added a splitter because I have a tv in that room.
I confirmed that I have a live coaxial connection in my upstairs bonus room but no nearby router or modem available there.. So all I need to convert that coaxial to either net is a pair of those devices a couple cables and I can now use my desktop via Ethernet rather than slow wi-fi?
I don’t need a modem or a router to accomplish this either correct?
Do you have internet service through your cable company? Cause this does not work if you do not have current internet service through a cable company... At least that is what I thought.
My main coax is on the main floor and it runs to a splitter, which then goes to the cable box and wireless modem. My computer is in the basement and there is a coax outlet there. How does moca work when it comes to the splitter? How would I install on the main floor in order to not interfere the cable box and wireless modem, but still be able to get moca to work in my basement? Thanks!
I only needed the splitter because I have a TV in the room.
I thought 2.5 Gbits/sec was between the MoCA devices only?
Ok. I have a xfi gateway. I enabled the MOCA in it. Now can I just add the MoCA filter to the cable entering the house then cable that to my Xfi Gateway. Then after that how can I connect this gateway to a MoCA splitter so I can get connection to more than one room in the house?? Out of the 10 cables I have only one that is connected to a room in the house where I don’t want it to be. I’m just stuck on what adapter I can use that goes from my MoCA enable router to the splitter
3 days ago
All I had to do was enable the moca in my router and then add the moca device in the room I needed it.
Where you connected your coax cable to the cable box what did the port say? Like what port did you use on the cable box? or does it not matter
If you are using a splitter from the wall as I did. One cable from the splitter would goto the "IN Port" on the cable box and the other would go to the MOCA device.
@@RobertsReviews ok thanks!
So what is handling DHCP?
Took a while to get to the point but I got it. Thank you
Ok thanks for this advice.
we need two right? one to connect to router and other one to connect wherever you need internet? Also do we need a TV for it to work? Or can we leave the TV output.
You do not need 2 if your router has MOCA built-in. You do not need a TV for this to work.
@@RobertsReviews if my router has a coax cable able to go into it does that automatically make it MoCa compatible? my landlords router already has a coax cable in it so I'm assuming I'll only need one unit
calvxn no it has to have MOCA built into the router and it has to be switched on.
So do you necessarily need a splitter?
No you do not.
thanks
Your welcome
What if you don’t have the outlet in the wall? Is there another way to set up internet without it? I live in a studio apt that doesn’t have that outlet so I’m just using my neighbors WiFi for now but I really need my own.
I am sorry I do not know of a way too. Sounds like you need to snake an ethernet cable through the wall or have one installed.
Can smartphones connect to a moca adapter using wifi? Also will hardwired devices on the moca slow down the ethernet connection on the main router?
No WiFi on this moca device it is only to hardwire a device. The more devices you add the more bandwidth will be used.
Can the reverse option is possible
ones i see have a coax in and out do i need 1 u got or do i need to adapters
The 2.5 does not have the splitter built into it like the others. The 2.0 version does and maybe the GOcoax one does. That is why I purchased the splitter to go to the Tv in the room.
Hi so I have MoCA built into my modem, how would I set up the adapter my modem is upstairs and I’d like Ethernet going downstairs into my PS4
If you have a cable outlet downstairs next to your PS4. Connect one end to the cable outlet and the other by using a Ethernet cable to your PS4.
Does this improve wi-fi strength as well?
Matt S No
Is there anyway you can help me? I recently got different moca adapters and I have everything set up... but there's no transfer unless I have them plugged into eachother directly. They both only turn on.
Hmm I am not too sure if I can help. But I will try all I know is that you have one near your router and one in the room you need the signal to go to. What MOCA devices did you buy?
Hey man, I just got mine yesterday. I mainly needed it for gaming because my router is in my basement. But I noticed an issue where my games would freeze/disconnect for a few seconds and if I am in a call and or xbox party I couldn't hear anyone for that few seconds. During that the packet loss went up to 80%.
Never had this issue with my old Verizon MoCA I used to own. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Kyle no I am sorry I wish I knew.
@@RobertsReviews It's all good.
Hey man I know it’s been awhile but did you get it fixed I’m trying to get this for my internet
So is the cable box and splitter only needed if you want to connect a t.v. to it as well?
yes
I'm lost. Connect the Coax from the wall (ONT, basically) into a splitter, THEN connect the Adapter to the Splitter using a coax cable? Do you NEED the splitter in the middle or is this just to add another line for MoCA connectivity?
Hey, Josh
No, you do not need a splitter. The splitter is only there if you also have a TV in the room like me. If you want to connect straight to a computer or device, you hook it up like this. Go from the coax cable outlet on the wall to the MOCA device, then use an ethernet/network cable to connect to your computer or other devices. Please let me know if that helped you or if you need any further explanation.
@@RobertsReviews thanks for your fast reply. Do you know if by chance if these are better than GoCoax's Moca 2.5 devices?
Also, you wouldn't happen to know if I could integrate these moca adapters into my system, ditch my Frontier router for one of my choosing and still be able to use Fios TV?
@Josh I can not say if they are better then GOCoax. I have yet to get to review them. But I know that I just reviewed a Translite Global Moca 2.5, and it worked with my Actiontec device. To answer your second part of your question about Fios, I had to look it up. It depends which Fios your internet connection is from the ONT; its either via Coax or Ethernet. If your configuration uses ethernet, you can replace the FiOS router with another router, connect the WAN ethernet cable to the WAN port on your new router, and use one of these adapters to bridge MoCA to your LAN on the router.
If your WAN connection is via Coax to your FiOS router, you cannot do this unless you or Verizon/Frontier run an ethernet cable from your ONT to your router location.
@@RobertsReviews My current FiOS router is connected via Coax. Unfortunately, my garage looks trashy and I'm unable to access the area. Ugh.
So what you're saying is, I cannot do this:
ONT>2.5 MOCA Adapter (via coax)>Router (via Ethernet port on Moca Adapter to router)
But I have to do this (simultaneous Coax & Ethernet Connections):
ONT>2.5 Moca Adapter (coax)
ONT>Router (Ethernet)
Correct? I'm actually weighing my options right now, I want to keep the correct connectivity going for FiOS TV but I am also considering something like UA-camTV.
@Josh Unfortunately, I do not know a lot about Fios. You can go on to Amazon and search in the comments there by just typing Fios under the actiontec device; that's how I found that other part of the answer. Sorry I was not more help.
So if my router is in my Basement and my room is 2 floors up will it reach my second floor? I just ordered 2 of the exact kind you got in this video I was just wondering
So how did it work? Just saw this for the first time today. Think I'll have to buy a couple to try out.
@@hadenas1 i actually ended up returning it because it does not work with satellite TV so that was a bummer.
Is there any coax still going to the modem?
Exactly what I’m asking too.
My ISP delivers internet over Coax. Can I use MOCA to multiplex the signals for the ISP and the local ethernet over the same coax?
I live in the US. Not sure where you are located so I can not tell you for sure all ISP are different in the way they are setup. But my ISP is over COAX so I turned on MOCA on my router and plugged the MOCA device from the COAX outlet in the other room. That is all I had to do. Please check with your ISP to verify,
It will likely depend on the frequency your ISP uses. I have Spectrum in California and could NOT use the same coax for my Internet connection as for my MoCA. I ended up running a separate coax line for my Internet for my cable modem with the rest using my MoCA otherwise the Internet would not connect.
I tried plugging in my ethernet into my gaming pc and its not recognizing the connection. In terms of bringing actual internet connection. Do you have to manipulate any settings?
I had to sign into my router and turn on MOCA.
Hey, I was wondering what do you need the splitter for again? I didn't understand.
I needed the splitter only because I have a TV in the room.
@@RobertsReviews ohhhh lol ok thanks so much! Always appreciate when a youtuber answers questions even on older vids! Thanks again.
@@sammgemm not a problem. I created it just to help others.
I bought a pair and they were working fine for 2 days, but now the Ethernet light isn’t on for the second moca. Any idea what might be wrong?
Hmmm no I do not know. Sorry try contacting them on the website. Hopefully they can help.
I had a question because I am a little lost with your set up, my router is downstairs but I have a coax outlet upstairs. I have to split the line downstairs and run the coax cable all the way upstairs from the router? Or could I plug in the Moca device upstairs into my coax outlet? Thanks!
Great question!! I know it sounds bizarre but really my computer is in a completely different room from my router. So all I had to do was connect it to my outlet in the other room.No extra stuff or anything. I only used the splitter because I wanted to connect my tv that is also in that room.
@@RobertsReviews Thanks for the reply! So the back of my modem (TECHNICOLOR TC8715D) has a MoCA/Cable port so all I would need to do is buy one adapter and connect to the coax outlet in the other room and I will be all set?
@@am1nus So when I set mine up all I needed was one in the other room. Here is the user manual of your device if it is not on you can turn it on. www.timewarnercable.com/content/dam/residential/pdfs/support/internet/ModemUserGuides/technicolor-tc8715d-userguide.pdf
@@am1nus Easy answer is yes you just need one.
@@am1nus however you should check to see if your router is MOCA 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0 rated or higher. If it is 1.0 MOCA getting a 2.5 gig rated MOCA adapter will do you no good. The MOCA signal will default to the adapter with the lowest speed. MOCA 1.0 max 100 mbps, 1.1 175 mbps and so on.
I have an AT&T residential gateway (RG) model 5268AC. My plan is to connect an ethernet wire to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the RG and plug it into one of the MoCA adapters shown in this video. Then connect a coaxial cable to the adapter. At the other end of the coaxial cable I plan to connect another MoCA adapter and plug another ethernet wire to it, which in turn will connect to an ethernet port on the back of a Blu-ray player. The reason for this is that the player occasionally needs firmware updates, and that's what its ethernet port is for. Will my plan work with these MoCA adapters, or do I misunderstand how MoCA adapters work?
No the Ethernet is not an input it is only for output. The input on it is a coax cable from an wall outlet in the room you want a better signal.
I do not know anything about an AT&T router sorry.
My MoCA device on the router gives interference to my Google Nest. Any recommendations?
Mouzam Arif sorry I do not
Does it still work if you just connect your coaxial cable from the wall to the moca, instead of connecting it to the motem as well?
I only needed one in the room I needed the connection. The router is in a different room.
@@RobertsReviews oh okay also, does it help with internet connection? Kinda new to this
I could not get WiFi from my router or was really slow. Then I bought this and zoom it was awesome.
@@RobertsReviews okay sweet. Thank you for the help man
You are constantly mentioning routers. Are you referring to Router/Modem units. Most WiFi routers I have seen do not have coax connections.
The coax thing never got green for me.
Internet tricks never work for me. I always have issues.
Really sorry to hear that.
I get no light for the LAN/WIFI...anyone have any suggestions?
The coaxial outlet may not be active.
Nice this looks like something to solve my issue..
Could you clarify? if I have my modem in the basement thats gettin internet connected by Coax. I will only need one actiontec on the upper floor to extend internet? Im assuming my modem/router is moca compatible like yours as it is connected to the wall via coax. You didn't show the other end so i wasnt sure if we got the exact same situation going on.
Thanks for the video
Ok, Glad to help. I apologize for not showing the other end. The coax cable comes out of the wall straight to my cable provider's router. Then I had to switch on the MOCA setting on my router. I found out how to do that on the cable providers website (aka COX for me here). It may be different for each router. Then all I did was go into the other room, connect straight from the wall to the MOCA device, and then to my computer. It was so easy, and man, what a difference. Just an FYI, I did put a splitter before the MOCA device to watch TV also in that room.
@@RobertsReviews thank you. I wasnt able to find the moca setting on my router or any info on the internet. I am in Canada so perhaps things are different here. I may be stuck again 😔
@@wtfis23 I am not sure how or what Canada does but I am willing to help out and ask questions for you. Who is your provider?
Just so you know that if it does not have a MOCA built into the router you put one near the router and one in the other room. Not sure if it goes after or before the router but I will check.
@@RobertsReviews im with Bell Canada. I was hoping to avoid buying 2. But i figured 2 would be the solution
Isn’t the speed determined by your modem and service provider
bluwng Yes I only pay for 300mgb speed and now I get that using the moca device: if I paid for the 1gb then I would get more in that back bedroom.
What if you connect it to router? Will it make wifi stronger?
Does not help with WiFi. This instead of WiFi
Does the adapter NEED a coax when hooking up a desktop pc - or would the ethernet cable alone do the trick?
There is another adapter with coax hooked up to my cable modem.
You may need to turn on the moca device in your router. Then you take the moca device into the room you want a direct connect to the internet instead of WiFi. Connect the coax from the wall to the moca device and then connect the Ethernet to the pc or other device.
@@RobertsReviews Is that something I can do on my own, or does my ISP have to do that.
@@robira1313 you can do that. you will have to figure out how to sign into your router and turn the moca setting on.
Does this or any moca adapter actually give off a WiFi signal itself?
Sorry!! I do not know.
So I have AT&T fiber. I would need 2 of this device right? One for the main router downstairs and one for upstairs which is my extension (mesh wifi). My goal is to hardwire my extension device so I get faster speed. I'm currently getting about 170mbps. When I'm connected to main router I'm getting 800mbps. This will help speed up the extension device right? Thanks
To be honest I do not know the answer to this question. I only needed one for the room I was in since the router that I got from my ISP had MOCA built into it I just had to sign into the router and turn it on and it worked.
@@RobertsReviews thanks for quick reply. I order 2..
@@rahulp2288 I hope that it works for you. Let us know what happens so if others ask I have an answer for them.
how far is the room that you could not get wifi from the room with the modem?
about 20 ft
Is that coax outlet running from the splitter where your router is connected to?
And will it still work if I only just get one of those adapters by connecting those into one output of the splitter and the other output to the main router and the TV boxes in the house because the one and only device I want to use that ethernet port for is the IP cameras which are Powered over Ethernet (PoE)?
Mine is connected from a wall outlet then the splitter on the 2 outputs I had one connected to my tv then the other to the moca.
My internet connection uses coax. I bought a new router that does not have a coax input. Will this work just to act as a bridge from coax to ethernet?
Gus I don’t know that answer. I am sorry
I would REALLY like to know the answer to this as well... Gus, have you found any info??? Thanks, really appreciate any help... 😊👍
You got a moist voice (compliment)
Lol that’s a weird compliment but ok. I guess thank you
Instead of connect to the tv cable box, can I connect to the modem? Thanks. Or, where is you modem? For Comcast and FIOS
My modem is in a different room. Mine is a Cox panoramic modem
@@RobertsReviews Thanks! And after some research, I assume your modem is not come with MOCA right? So we are just using the Actiontec to broadcast the internet signal over coax cables.
The modem provided to me by Cox. Has MOCA built into it I just had to sign in and turn it on.
@@RobertsReviews got it, I will make adjustment to that then, thank you for the information!

Is the moca turned on in your router?
Hi I have a shaw cgnm2250 cable modem and wondering if it has moca on automatically? Shaw is a Canadian cable company. Great video btw!
Thank you for your kind words. Although I am not familiar with the modem you speak of but I am willing to help. Let me look up your modem and see if it has MOCA built-in.
Is Shaw the Modem name or is it Hitron? Cause if it is the Hitron Modem I do not see that it has MOCA built into it at all. But that does not mean I am correct I am by no means an expert. But when I look up the modem specs and documentation it does not say anything about MOCA. I see that Shaw does have a router-modem that they have that does have MOCA built-in. Please check with the maker of the modem and see if you can contact them and see if they can tell you for sure it does have MOCA.
I was wondering because we have the system where you can record in one room and watch in another.A Modem manual says MoCA equipped but not too sure.
@@connorbroessler1078 Ok then in the manual it should show you how to get into the settings and turn it on... I do not think that they turn MOCA on automatically on routers. I am sorry I am not much more help than that.
@@RobertsReviews no worries thanks for the help. So if I have to get 2 I would connect the coax going into my modem currently to the adapter correct? Or use a different coax wall outlet in the room my modem is in?
Does this by chance my the wifi slower?
No..
Say I wanted to move my Modem from my living room out let which is an ethernet hookup/outlet to my room which is a coax hookup/outlet would this device work? The modem only has the ethernet hook up on the back of it??
No this is used to extend your network to another room. This will not work the way you are wanting it to.
@@RobertsReviews is there anything that can do what I'm speaking of?
@@brycemapes4286 Sorry I wish I knew of something to help you but I do not.
For those watching, he meant GIGABIT not GIGABYTE. One GIGABIT = 1000mbps = 100mb(megabytes) per second max
That’s not a correct conversion. 1 byte is 8 bits. So 1 Gigabit = 1/8 of a Gigabyte, or 1 Gbps = 1/8 GBps
To clarify, that means the last number in your equation should be 125 megabytes per second (1000 / 8), not 100.
Which router do you have? My router claims to have a moca device installed but I’m not getting any signal
I had to turn my moca on in the Motorola router that my ISP gave me. That means I had to sign into it and turn it on.
@@RobertsReviews ah okay I’ll try that out. Thanks for the response
Whats MPS button for?
That is a good question. I never had to use it so I don't know.
I have everything plugged in but the coax isn't being picked up for some reason because the light isn't turning on...
Did you turn on your MOCA in the Router?
@@RobertsReviews im not sure... I have everything plugged in exactly like you said in the video and to make sure the boxes arnt broken I connected a coax cable directly to eachother and then it lit up so I'm not sure what the problem with them is
@@michaelmcdaniel6036 But did you sign in to your router and turn on MOCA. I don't know much about spectrum I only have COX communications here in AZ. You may have to check with your ISP to see how to do that.
@@RobertsReviews the router already had a coax plugged into a wall before I got the splitter and tried making the adapter plug in as well, ill look into signing onto the router and turning it on
Michael McDaniel ok cause moca is not usually turned on.
If the room has no TV you don't need splitter right?
Correct
@@RobertsReviews Thanks 😊
Mine was working fine, but now the coax light is blinking
I noticed that Cox kept turning off my moca on my router.
Why do you need a splitter here? Why not connect directly from wall to MoCA?
You can do that and then go straight to the computer or device using the ethernet cable. But I needed it to split off from the wall one to my TV in the room and the other to the MOCA device.
You need a MOCA rated splitter because MOCA signals run at frequencies higher than 1005 MHz. Standard splitters max out at that frequency. Also you shouldn’t mix splitters they should all run on the same frequency range or if you do mix them it will default to the lowest frequency on your network. Example if you have one standard splitter and 3 MOCA rated splitter the signal on your network will default to the standard splitters frequency range not the MOCA splitters range. Make sure you have a POE filter as well ( which is built into some MOCA splitters.
@@Placesandspaces35 He just asked do you need a splitter and the answer is NO.
@@RobertsReviews you should use MOCA rated splitters hence the term “MOCA splitter” to ensure the signal has the correct frequency to run on. He can do what he wants but that is the proper way to do it.

Does the kind of COAX cable I use matter?
Not sure what you mean by that I only have one type of coax cable.
@@RobertsReviews I looked it up they are some difference types of coax cables ( I don't know nothing about 'em tho ) www.google.com/search?q=different+types+of+coaxial+cable&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS848US848&sxsrf=ALeKk019IU3w95RXx_snVW1sAGNe-vmKdA:1608758420638&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi01sORhOXtAhXswVkKHS49CVwQ_AUoAnoECBYQBA&biw=1536&bih=722#imgrc=MI563Uc5oIas7M

Can someone tell me do I need two Actiontec ECB6250 with Verizon G3100 Router?
I used one in my office/room and it worked fine for a few days and then just disconnected. Do I need two; one at the router with a coax splitter? I thought the G3100 was MoCa capable so only one would be fine and it was until it disconnected and stopped working...
I know that my provider was turning off my moca setting in the router cause it is their router. I do not know anything about the Verizon router and how they do things.
So if I purchased the router they will then claim it's still their system! I wonder what they will say if I ask if they are turning it off.
I wonder if adding a filter will make a difference?
Filter, MoCA POE for Cable TV & OTA coaxial Networks ONLY
@@AlRios523 I wish I could help you more with this. I am not that technical with this stuff.
@@RobertsReviews Not a problem! I was able to get a tech online who knew his stuff. He did try to sell me on other services to allow me to get what I wanted as he said. I insisted it either works the way it was designed or I would move on to another service. He then walked me through a reset by disconnecting the Coax cable from the G3100 router and My Moca, resetting the Moca, and connecting the G3100 coax cable, the Moca Coax cable then power to Moca and it was reset, and now works Great! I think they do something to try and upsell you for more money!
My router has a coax cable connected to it does that mean I don’t 2 moca adapters?
Need 2 moca adapters
@@alan-pm6xt That does not mean that. you have to know if you can turn on MOCA in your router. If you can then you only need one but everyone's ISP and routers are different.
@@RobertsReviews how do I know if I can turn it on ?
Sign into the IP address of your router
I tried doing this. I connected one moca adapter to the router. Another one was in the basement which i only connected the coaxial cable to the moca adapter but the "coax" light was not turning on, any suggestions as to why this is happening and a solution?
What cable company are you using?
@@RobertsReviews I am using telus, a canadian cable company
@@jeffignacio9736 What modem model is it?
@@RobertsReviews it is a T3200m
I only needed one in the room I was going to use for my computer. I did not need another one where the router was. Cause my router has MOCA built into it so I just turned it on in the router.
What if we only have Internet connection and no Tv channels/ Box ?
P0go what kind of internet service provider. Is it?
@@RobertsReviews I actually was askimg for my Relative but all i know his internet modem/router connected from coax line but they have no tv package
No you do not need TV
@@RobertsReviews i have spectrum and the coax isn't being picked up from the box...
@@michaelmcdaniel6036 Make sure you turn MOCA on in your router.
Can I connect 4 adaptors over my house ?
I would think so but I am not sure.
@@RobertsReviews FYI a MoCa network can do a maximum of 16 devices.
Howww can I buy this in the UK
ThatSameer I bought mine on amazon the link is in the description. You may be able to get it directly from the action rev website.
One minor annoyance - you kept saying gigaBYTE rather than gigaBIT. There's a difference. Otherwise, great video.
Is a router or modem required for any of this?
I have to have my ISP router for it to work.
@@RobertsReviews so this can’t be done without a modem or router connected to the moca?
DarkSlayerBlaze you have to have some kind of ISP.
@@RobertsReviews one more question. Does it have to be registered to anything or it starts as soon as it’s hooked up?
DarkSlayerBlaze I had to make sure that the MOCA that was built into my my router was turned on and it started working.
Can you hook this up without a splitter? Is the splitter for so that your TV cable would work? So if you dont have cable and only want to get gigabit internet then you dont need a splitter right
Correct!! You do not need a splitter... I only added that in for the TV that is in the room.
Well yes and no. You need a splitter that is MOCA compatible because those signals use higher frequencies. For instance I use an 8 way Antronix MOCA splitter and have it installed in my master closet where all my coax cables for different rooms come into the house. That way all the coax ports in my entire home run off that one MOCA splitter and I can put adapters in any room and guarantee the correct frequencies are being used for the MOCA signal. Also what wasn’t mentioned is you will need a POE filter at the point of demarcation to install on your coax line so your MOCA signal doesn’t leak out to neighboring houses. Antronix MOCA splitters have a built in POE so you don’t have to buy a separate filter. This video shows a BAMF splitter being used which is good. I think Commscope is good too. I have a gig service and get 950 wired speeds in every room that has a coaxial wall port in my house. Also I would recommend GoCoax MOCA adapters (available on Amazon) that are 2.5 gig capable and have been awesome and cheaper in price than Actiontec.
@@Placesandspaces35 I don't know what you are talking about a filter and things I had one room I needed a MOCA device for and that is it. Mine works straight from the wall to the MOCA to the laptop.
@@RobertsReviews you should look up Poe filters. MOCA signals can leak out from your home if no filter installed. Google it.
@@Placesandspaces35 No knocking you at all.. I appreciate you being here to help out the channel with your knowledge and experience.
My tv has a Ethernet port… could I just connect that and not need a splitter?
Also I have the nighthawk AC3200 and couldn’t find anything on it if it has moca pre installed? I guess I just have to assume it doesn’t have it?
What are you wanting to use it for? I use mine to connect to my laptop.
@@RobertsReviews I want to just connect my tv to the internet. I use all the apps like Netflix and such and want to hard wire it
@@RobertsReviews I can connect it to WiFi but just want it to be really fast and not have much buffer to it so I noticed it had an LAN port
I have never used it for that. But i don’t see a reason why it would not work.
I did all of this and both lights are green but it still says I have no internet connection???
zCrazyFruitLoopz Did you turn on the MOCA in your router. Cause that is where my issue was as soon as that was done it worked.
So would I have to login with the IP address and change it on those settings?
zCrazyFruitLoopz correct
@@RobertsReviews I did it, but now it says my Ethernet doesn’t have a valid ip configuration
zCrazyFruitLoopz I don’t know what that means you may have to ask your internet provider.
Is that your public IP? Might wanna mask that.
Thank you for informing me!!
how many moca adapters are needed to set this up?
I only needed one but that’s because my router had MOCA built into it.
You showed connecting two in the video
@@erbconsult No, I did not. One was a cable box and the other was the MOCA device.
Do I need cable service?? I only have internet service right now. Current set up: wall coax in the living room connected to modem, modem to router with Ethernet. I have another coax in another room not being used. Will this work?
What are you connecting to and are you connecting it in that other room? My modem is in my wife's office which is in another room, and my office is in another bedroom so I had to use the MOCA device in my office from the cable wall outlet to the MOCA device and then to the computer.
Bro where do you live, Cuba? Those speeds are really low. Are you using a gigabyte router?
Sorry but I do not live in Cuba but I am sure it is nice there. I just don't have the money to pay for a gigabit speed. I only pay for a 300mgb speed.
300 mbps (recently upgraded from 100 mbps) is Spectrum’s standard speed in Cleveland, TN. AT&T offers fiber optic with a much higher speed, but their customer service isn’t very good, I’ve heard.
I actually thought 300 mbps was fast, but of course I remember starting out with 28 kbps MAX (dial up) for several years, then I was thrilled to get DSL with like 200 kbps, then it moved higher and higher over the years. So I’m grateful to have 300 mbps, but I won’t complain if Spectrum bumps us up to 1 gbps. All of these speeds are WILDLY faster than where I started back in the 90’s.
@@Starlight_Silver right now I can not afford anything faster. So I am glad I found this to get everything I pay for.
Why is your ping higher on MoCa then wifi???
WiFi did not get to that room that well. So the moca acted as a direct connection to the router.
