ScreenBeam MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter for Higher Speed Internet, Ethernet Over Coax - Starter Kit (Model: ECB6250K02)

In my house, the UHF TV signal is distributed throughout the house by a 12 way distribution amplifier fed from a log periodic aerial in the loft. There is a restrictive covenant covering all houses on the estate that prohibits any aerials other than satellite dishes and these must be fitted below the roof line. My house is in a dip and out of sight of the transmitting aerial some 15 miles away. The signal can be intermittent and prone to distortion especially in certain weather conditions. To provide a good signal to the two main reception rooms I used a SkyQ satellite dish to receive Freesat satellite signals. This meant that the two coax cables from the distribution amplifier in these rooms are not needed. However, a consistent high speed network feed for streaming is essential. This led to a decision to unplug these coax cables from the distribution amplifier in the loft and connect them together so that there is a continuous coax cable between the lesser reception room which houses the FTTP (Fibre to the premise) broadband feed and the main reception room. They are 15m apart. Initially, I purchased the ScreenBeam starter pack of MoCA Network Adapters (ECB6250) and they were an immediate success. Installation is very simple and quick. I had the link working in ten minutes. I was so pleased with the setup that I then purchased an additional single adapter to connect the Office computers to the net. I replaced the coax cable connector in the loft with one of the splitters included with the kits and then connected the Office cable to the splitter. I was delighted with the results. The average of a series of Ookla broadband speed tests using the computer in the office returned a download speed of 941 Mbps and an upload speed of 110 Mbps.If you are interested in using these MoCA adapters I would suggest using F Type cable connectors throughout. In my setup, the coax cables to the distribution amp were already F Type and I replaced the face plates in the Reception rooms and Office with F type faceplates. Also you will need to purchase USA to GB plug adapters as the kits come from the USA. That said, service from the company via Amazon was outstanding and the units were delivered within days and update information was timely and informative.

I was getting about 40Mbps with my ethernet-over-mains "homeplug" devices which is slower than my fibre broadband! Heard an American friend talking about MoCA which he said was reasonably common in the US. Luckily there are TV sockets in the two rooms I wanted to connect so I thought I'd give these a go. Although expensive at about £130 for the pair, they are definitely worth it. I now get over 800Mbps via the pre-installed coax in my house (see iperf snip).In my case I receive freeview TV via an aerial in the loft. The signal is distributed via a splitter (also in the loft). I checked that the splitter worked with the MoCA frequencies before purchase of these devices. I also bought a MoCA POE filter which I installed between the splitter and the aerial. The MoCA network worked without the filter so I don't know if this is strictly necessary, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't transmitting the MoCA signals via my aerial.For use in the UK you'll also need a way of attaching the f-connectors to the aerial sockets in the wall. I bought some screw-on f connectors and a coax stripping tool and cut the old TV wires in half, stripped the ends and then added the f-connectors to attach to the input and one of the outputs of the splitters supplied in the pack, then used the coax cable supplied to connect to the screenbeam device. It hasn't affected the quality of the TV freeview signal at all.It came with US power adapters so I also needed to buy a pair of UK-US travel adapters.

Ideal connector between old coax to lan.

They increased the price after I ordered it and then cancelled my order! Took my money and no refund yet. Avoid…

I have yet to formally test but I’m underwhelmed with the function, and very annoyed by the USA plugs being sold without mention in the UK. Probably going back for a better brand with uk plugs.

I bought thinking I would get 2.5G between the connected devices but I would never get above 1G. I thought the problem was with my cabling but after doing a bit of research discovered that the 2.5G is between the MOCAs and the ethernet is 1G out of the MOCA. Only in version 7250 do you get the 2.5G. Other downside is you need and adapter for the American plug. The 1G connection is reliable.I have replaced with goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter (MA2500D) available on Amazon and am getting about 270MBs transfer speeds and no American mains adapter required.

So I've been looking for a solution forever for my home which has FTTH, but where the fiber optic cable terminates into my home is really bad for wifi and difficult to run CAT6 cables from. Initially I looked for power-line ethernet adapters that utilize the electrical wiring in your home to pass a data connection through. This worked well, but I was only getting 1/10th the speed from my ISP.Through some research, I decided to give this device a try... like the power-line ethernet, this device utilizes existing cabling in your home (in this case the coaxial runs) to pass data through. And it turns out that I get almost 90% of the rated speed from my ISP which is amazing. No need to hire someone to run cables through your home or deal with spotty wifi.I connected the device as directed to the coaxial outlet in the room where my FTTH line terminates and where my modem is. In the office where I needed the internet, I connected the second device to the coaxial outlet and from there ran the ethernet to my computer. (Now another router).IMPORANT: One thing I learned after some trial and error is that the splitter for the coaxial connections (normally located where your electric panel is or where internet cables terminate into your home) needs to be replaced with the included splitter in this package. These splitters operate with a higher frequency band which allows me to access symmetric connections speeds that my FTTH allows.All in all, I could not be more happy with this product. It is a small investment for a WORLD of convenience and likely cheaper than any other wired solution of equal capability. Absolutely an amazing piece of technology!

Si ya tienen cableado su casa u oficina con coaxial, este es el mejor medio para tener Internet, wi-fi y conexión local entre aparatos digitales.

I was a bit suspicious of the promises of this thing - but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. It really is plug and play and I can now get gigabit internet speeds.

These adapters just plain work -- right out of the box, with whatever wiring you happen to have.There's no routing, no configuration, just a "bump in the wire" that seamlessly extends your layer 2 network over any mix of UTP and coax. Even the name is transparent: "ECB" = ethernet/coax bridge. The engineers behind the MoCA standards have done a terrific job, and (in a startling break from typical industry-consortium mediocrity) the MoCA alliance website provides clear explanations of the technology and a comprehensive guide for installation.In our previous home, I used the earlier ECB 2500C model (MoCA 1.1) paired with the ISP-provided router's built-in MoCA for a rock solid 100 Mbps to my home office. In our current home, which was built with separate RG59 coax runs from the main panel to each room, I've set up six of these ECB6250s in what they call a "home run" (star) topology, with no connection to the WAN/cable side. Now I get close to 1 Gbps across the LAN and 450 Mbps+ inbound from the internet (cable provider limited) everywhere in the house. And that's despite the fact that it's all long runs of RG59 (not RG6), with two 1:2 splitters and a 1:3. It just works. The whole network (wired plus wifi mesh) is one broadcast domain, which allowed me to work some dhcpd+ipfw+openvpn magic to transparently route my streaming devices through a country-switching VPN service while leaving the computers alone.The cost can add up if you wire your entire home this way, but it still came out cheaper than my multiple failed attempts to do everything with wifi alone (don't get me started). And it's definitely cheaper than ripping holes in your walls and ceilings to run UTP everywhere.If I could change one thing, it would be the single Ethernet port per adapter. Bumping that up to two ports would have saved me two additional ethernet switches in my setup, and kept things tidier.

Moving into a home with only coax cables everywhere and a desire not to have WiFi led me to find this solution. It's absolutely fantastic. It is rock-solid stable, I have been using it pretty much every day, several hours a day since I installed them 2 years ago. I have never had network downtime attributable to the Moca devices, it's always something else. I honestly think the uptime on this device has been pretty much flawless over this time, I have never had to restart them. They are pricey, but I feel like it's definitely value for money. I have 4 of these devices deployed, and I might deploy some more in the future as I mature and evolve my network.
