It does cost 100 dollars becuase you need windows

@@FroxyProxy you dont need a key to use it tho keys are 99. software is free

@@gavvoplayz4101 hey 99 cents is alot Nowadays

What's the workaround?

@@kasunperera5398 Like they said youd have to run ethernet to each device from the router/switch instead of backfeeding it

You still have all traffic going into one device, whether router or video recorder.

Use internet powerline adapters. :)

If you can afford just a bit more, yes this is the way to go! Mine is still going strong, never have to reboot them at all, never had a problem

Finished yesterday, was easy to do and now my (wired) bedroom internet is over 5x faster than wifi, thanks again! Didn't think the house would already be wired up for it.

Yeah almost all houses in North America are wired for coax but they're barely used since some people don't watch cable TV or use cable internet while people who do don't have a TV in every room. When I move to a two story house with little to no CAT jacks, I'll definitely use a MoCA setup for downstairs connections until I learn which walls line up on both floors and run CAT downstairs in those walls.

Jared Godwin Yeah they are pricey but if you need physical connection they are wonderful!

Buying your own hardware is the way to go!

Were you able to or can this setup be used without a router? So basically having the cable go to MoCA to modem. The Ethernet from modem to MoCA?

Lets see if I get this right from my situation. Modem/router currently in basement and connected to coax from wall. Instead of running cable up two floors. I can instead connect that basemeny coax to a MoCA then the MoCA to my modem/router. Then one of the ethernet outlets on the router back to the MoCA. Then up two floors I put in another MoCA connected to the coax. Then connect an ethernet to that MoCA and my devices upstairs will have internet via ethernet connection? Sound right?

@@FirstLast-gk6lg Yes, just like he explained everything in the video

Why can’t i just get a coaxial to Ethernet adapter and plug it into the coaxial and other end (Ethernet) into my Xbox? Don’t all coaxials in the house have internet ?

@@user-hh4hc2lt6e Those are MoCA adapters. And no, you can't expect every coax jack to have internet, especially if you don't have cable internet/TV. You need to check the TV panel and make sure the coax cables in your rooms are all connected via splitter or amplifier. Some technicians connect only one cable so only one room has cable signal. Even if you have cable internet, it doesn't hurt to check the TV panel outside and/or inside your house.

It should work well for you! Mine has worked amazing still to this day

Thanks! I know right, they are so simple and seriously work so well!

You still need this to be plugged into the cable outlet, then an Ethernet going into it from the router.

I know it's not a requirement but an issue with Wi-Fi is where are you going to get the power from? For that reason is why I run the physical cables. It provides my power and data and is more reliable than wifi. Wifi cameras do have their time and place though, but for me if I can run a wire I'm doing it every time!

If you are already running cables to the cameras, there’s not much to be gained by PoE. I still prefer analog if you’re running wires.

In my install I had security cameras. The actiontec device was basically my "backbone". It's what was getting me Ethernet to a particular place in my house. Then from that place, I put in a PoE switch, which is where I ran the cable for all my cameras and they plugged into the switch. The switch provides the power and data in the Ethernet cable to my device (the camera). The backbone was plugged into the uplink port so that was simply carrying the data to and from

@Biggy oh my fricking god you made me cringe so hard. its r/woooosh

There's a CyberMonday deal where MS Paint is included for free with the purchase of a WinRAR license. Honestly not sure how they'll stay in business with a deal that good. It's basically like they're giving away CDs with 100 free hours on AOL at this point; madness, I tell you!

I dont use insteon hub for the controller, i use the ISY994i by universal devices. They support alexa or google home, so unfortunately i can't help you out on siri.

You can plug it directly in to those devices! I just use a switch because I need more ports. But you can skip that if you don't need it

Yes it should work! It's simply using your existing coax as a means of transporting data just like an Ethernet cable

Yes you are correct!

Def not between the adaptor and modem as you'd be bouncing the signal back. Just at the ingress to your place, and potentially on TV receivers if it's causing issues.

The router has an input which comes from the WAN (your internet provider/modem) and the moca adapter is plugged into the router's LAN which is your local side

Absolutely it should satisfy it! Everything is run through a wire, whether coax or ethernet. This method does not degrade the signal so yes I would absolutely say it satisfies it. Plus you are not operating off of any wireless signals in this method. Thanks for watching!

@@TheKMZ1 Sooo good to know! Thanks again.

Did you find the answer for this?

amzn.to/3u9YdOr one of these will be worth it to test and map out your cables!

Going through a splitter/amplifier could definitely cause issues, as they're attenuated to focus on a good signal for your TV box. MoCA utilizes the unused freq spectrum that a satellite hookup would, meaning the splitters may not be compatible. There's also the issue of PoE filters. I think you typically want one at the first point the coax enters your home, as well as on any TV cable boxes. Before blaming the splitter/filters, I'd try a direct hookup from the modem to the adapter, over coax.

I'm not fully following you but no there is no speed slowing. How do cable companies send TV/Phone/Internet all through the same coax cable? It's called frequency division multiplexing because they all travel down the coax at different infrequence so they are unaffected by one another. The same might apply to these...they could be operating on a frequency different than everything else.

Cat6

I moved into a different house so am not using them but in the 3 years I had them, they were amazing. Never had to reset them, they were just one of those things you set once and forget. Gigabit through coax is not an issue, I have not seen any of the newer ones claiming 2.5 GbE through it but that does not surprise me.

The internet and MoCa use different RF channels on the co-ax, so no interference and greater total bandwidth.

One cable goes to modem, other goes to TV box. TV receiver doesn't need a MoCA signal anyways and can be blocked with a POE filter. Easiest way should be to hook up the modem to a splitter where the coax enters your place.

If you have a MoCA compatible modem, it just means you need one less adapter. Everything else stays the same.

Joe L they all talk to each other and there is no master. Each are exactly the same and the devices know the role automatically that they need to take. I only have 2, but you can add as many needed. 2 is the minimum and you can grow out from there!

Yes this setup will work, you would only need to connect coax outside for the rooms that will be using the moca adapter

You still need 2, you have one acting as the "source" which think of that as injecting internet onto the coax, and then you need a receiver (or many receivers if you want more) which get the internet. These devices are not modems so yes you still need your modem to decode the internet coming from the cable company. Hope that makes sense

NJ no speed loss, these truly do achieve almost their full gigabit potential. My internet speed is only 30 MB so I get no interney loss, but why I use these is not for internet but for high speed data for my security cameras so they don't have issues. They do very well

I think they can

VLANs are just the product of tagged packets, so these adapters would have to reshape the traffic on the fly to have an effect on VLANs. They'd cost a loooot more money if that were the case w/ the speeds they offer.

Yes it would still work for you. The reason is because it uses the coax cable as it's way to send the signal through your house. So the coax really doesn't have anything to do with cable internet service.

You do need at least 2 to extend the ethernet elsewhere, but if you need to add one more jack elsewhere in the house, you only need 1 more adapter. So if you have internet coming into your basement and want to extend to 2 other rooms in your house, you need a total of 3 MOCA adapters.

Jonathan Lee I think you described everything correctly. The modem's Ethernet (WAN) goes into the router and then out of the router it plugs into the moca adapter. As far as the adapter amplifying the line, I've never heard or read of it doing that, so I assume it doesn't amplify it but then again I don't know what all happens inside the black box to make it work.

The coax cable doesn't have to come from your modem, the only purpose of the coax is to transmit the ethernet through it, so you can still plug this into your wall cable jack, and the ethernet cable from your router

I think so but be aware of how many times you are splitting it. Regardless of if you are using moca or not, the more cable splitters the signal gets worse and worse

It does not sacrifice on speed, and yes you could do that

As long as you have 2 Moca adapters it should be possible.

If the coax is already there, that's what these devices are for, so you can use the existing coax cable and not have to run anything

Yes you need a minimum of 2 but you can have a 3rd, 4th, 5th etc

@@TheKMZ1, I have 3 smart tv's upstairs and 1 in tbe basement. I want to hardwire my firestick to get great streaming. Would I need to have 1 moca per room for this?

You always need one adapter on both ends

@@TheKMZ1 thanks!

Did you find the answer to this?

Both work the same way. The only difference would be of your modem supports a MoCA connection natively, as it means you'd need one less adapter. the router, whether it be a separate device, or a POS crammed in with the modem, is irrelevant.

You never want 2 modems, your internet company usually won't allow it, so you will want to move it downstairs, yes these will work for you, you just need to make sure the cable jack downstairs is live, in other words make sure that cable is hooked into the splitter where your service comes in. But yes these will work perfect for you

No, you can use a splitter, these devices also have a splitter built into it as well

Interesting question. Maybe this will help. The MoCA adapter just acts as a bridge. Basically it converts Ethernet data into a high frequency signal that coexists with the signals on the same coaxial line (such as television and/or the cable modem down/up streams). It does this back and forth on both ends of any cable segment, which is why you need at least two. At one end, you would connect the coax line to the MoCA adapter, and use its built in coaxial splitter to connect to your cable modem, via a short coax cable. Just like in this video. Now what you want to do next, is use the router/switch portion of your cable "modem" all-in-one to connect to the same MoCA adapter via an Ethernet cable. I see why you find this confusing. It's because you're thinking of the physical cable (the coax cable) as being "reused" in a loop, and perhaps causing a network loop issue. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work, since the MoCA "network". although using the same physical cable, is separate logically due to its different frequency band. Think of it as using a separate wire instead, even though it isn't. However, I wouldn't do this if I didn't need to use the built in switch of a modem/router/switch unit, especially if the extra devices aren't in the same room where the cable modem already is. If they are, then I _would._ In my case, I may actually do this, sort of. Although my cable modem is separate from my router/switch, I will probably connect the MoCA adapter's Ethernet port to a switch port directly on my router, or at least the next switch over. But honestly it really doesn't matter. As I said, it just operates as a bridge.

If your modem is MoCA enabled, like the TELUS T3200M Modem, then you only need one. The coax port on the modem has MoCA built in.

No, the first adapter gets internet from the router. You don't have to have a cable internet provider at all for these to work, it uses the coax to transmit the signal to your remote rooms in your house. So your modem and router work the same way they always do, these get the signal from the router, transmits it over coax and then your other moca adapters can decode/get the ethernet off the coax line
