ScreenBeam Bonded MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter for Highest Speed Internet, Ethernet Over Coax - Starter Kit (Model: ECB7250K02)

Coax cable was stuck in conduits for a 20 year old brickwork house in Portugal and I needed to get WiFi upstairs. I originally wanted to pull through Ethernet cable but was stuck with the coax. Researched the screenbeam moca and installed with no problems, hooking up to second access point. Working great now have WiFi working on both floors

I have used many Ethernet over Powerline adapters over the years and even though they worked, speeds were never even close to the advertised ones. This week I decided to get one of these Ethernet over Coaxial cable adapters (it plugs where you normally plugin a TV box that uses the coaxial cable) to test it in a room where I get some spotty WiFi coverage (even though I do have three access points - all Ubiquiti gear). Not sure if it is just because I no longer use Cable TV services (what means I have nothing plugged in to the coaxial ports at home any longer) but Jesus Lord, this thing solved ALL the performance issues. It is maxing out the Gigabit card on my son's PC so now when I try to copy large files from my network storage devices (a QNAP and a Synology) I am hitting 112 Mbytes per second (what is 996 MBits), the maximum speed on the switch where I plugged this in (and also the maximum speed on my son's PC Ethernet port). Massive improvement and took me like five minutes to install. Again, I am not sure if it is working great for me due to not using the coaxial cables in the house any longer for anything. Also I am not sure yet if performance degrades with multiple adapters but I would expect it to be the case as a single adapter goes to the switch so if I have multiple adapters on the other end (i.e., the PCs in the rooms) all of these adapters will got to the switch through that single adapter in the switch room. Regardless, still massive improvement as I am sure not all machines will be on at the SAME time AND doing massive transfers at the same time either. Fantastic product.

I bought a pair of these to cure my network issues in a 17yo double storey house. I was concerned I might have to find and replace incompatible splitters in my roof, etc. but no - it was plug and play, gigabit network 30 seconds after plugging them both in. No interference to aerial TV reception. Saved me a lot of nuisance and expense vs. having to get ethernet installed. Time will tell how reliable they prove to be. Australians retrofitting these to older homes will likely have PAL-type female sockets at the wall. You will need to buy an additional PAL male to F-type male cable to connect each of these units - Amazon sells them. If you will be connecting a TV at the same socket, you will need two of them in addition to the included F-type to F-type cable and splitter. The included power supplies (at least the ones I received) will accept 220V but have US pins, so you will also need two US>AU travel plug adaptors (or replacement Australian power supplies).

As all IT pros know the best way to extend WIFI is to have your house wired with ethernet cables, but how many people have that? Answer: not many. However, almost everyone has coax running in their house for cable TV and that is where MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) comes in. A MoCA adapter allows additional routers to receive an internet signal directly from your modem through the existing coax cable in your walls. You just plug the coax from your wall into an adapter and then plug the included ethernet cord from the adapter to an additional router, and now you have a super-strong WIFI signal as if the main router and additional router were connected by an ethernet cable. This is amazing for home network, easy to install and it works flawlessly I live in a condo with no way to run ethernet cable to the living room so this is great solution to this problem I went from 55mbps on my pc to 914mbps with this, I never could get any better speed than that due to there being a thick wall and furniture between our X1 Modem and my PC but because of these MoCA adapters I now have found my solution. It also has helped improve the download speeds on my Xbox as well I went from having 60.55 mbps to having 865mbps download speeds. This is the setup that I am using I connected the Moca adapter to my Router using Cat5e, then connected Coax to the other end of the MoCA adapter that leads from the coax coming from the wall. For the 2nd MoCA adapter I connected the Coax from the wall to one end of the splitter, and another Coax cable to my cable box and another to the MoCA adapter that connected to my Xbox Series X. Everything worked great, now I can get high speeds in a room that didn't have a ethernet lan cable. Getting speeds of 1G and fast downloads of 900Mbps on the xbox! Ok, now for the Pro-Life Tips. 1. THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR SATELLITE TV! CABLE ONLY! Sorry, but you're SOL w/ DirecTV and Dish 2. You do not need a MoCA adapter at your modem if your modem is already MoCA enabled. You will need to hook up one of the adapters to the modem if it is not MoCA enabled. A lot of people rent a combination modem/router from their cable provider. The newer ones are already MoCA enabled and if it's not, your cable provider will trade your old modem/router for an updated one for free. 3. Speaking of renting a modem/router combo...don't. Buy a separate ARRIS SURFboard Modem and whatever router you want and it will pay for itself in about a year. Don't give your hard-earned shekels to the corp bastards. 4. You need a MoCA 2 way splitter if you're running your additional router off a coax that is also providing a cable signal to a TV. The instructions and diagram that come with the adapters aren't clear about this. The adapter set comes with one 2 way splitter, but you will need a 2nd one if you're going to set up two adapters and two additional routers. You can buy a 2-way splitter at Lowe's or Home Depot for $6. Just make sure it is MoCA compliable. Also, the box comes with two short coax cables, but you will need two more if you're connecting them with two TVs. You can buy 3 ft. coax for cheap if you don't have extras laying around. 5. The MoCA adapter does not send out a WIFI signal by itself! You must use an additional router for each adapter. Any old router will do, so you don't need to blow your brains out on the latest and the greatest. However, you still need your original "Home Base" router that you have already been using. 6. Instructions. How to set up in a room where you already have a TV and your modem is MoCA enabled: Unscrew the coax from the cable box and screw it into the "cable in" port on the splitter. Now screw in another coax to the "cable out" port of the splitter and run it back into the cable box. Cable TV is now all set. Screw another coax to the other "cable out" port of the splitter and screw the other end into the "cable in" port on the adapter. Then plug the provided ethernet cable into the adapter and plug the other end into the WAN port of your router. Plug adapter and router into the wall or outlet strip and enjoy that sweet, sweet rock hard WIFI signal. 7. Please know the difference between "your" and "you're". Your is possessive, ie: your new MoCA adapter. You're is a contraction of you are, ie: you're going to love your new MoCA adapter. (See what I did there?) 8. Enjoy your strong WIFI signal and please be safe and please be nice to each other. We're all in this trying time together and a little kindness goes a long way. Cheers.

Never knew this product existed, till I saw on YouTube. Been years fiddling with repeaters to mesh routers but all had very average results. My house had the old scv cable points so decided no harm trying. Plugged all in and it just works. No settings nothing, it just worked.

Ich habe das ScreenBeam MoCA 2.5 Kit als Ersatz für schwache WLAN-Verbindung gekauft und bin total zufrieden. Die Hardware wirkt wertig und die Einrichtung war "Plug & Play": Anschließen, kurz warten, fertig. ​ ​Wir nutzen die Verbindung auch für Spiele wie Fortnite und Valorant. Im Vergleich zum WLAN ist der Ping spürbar besser und vor allem absolut stabil – keine nervigen Lags und disconnects mehr. ​In meinem aktuellen 1-Gbit-Netz arbeiten die Adapter tadellos. Die vollen 2,5 Gbit/s konnte ich mangels Hardware noch nicht testen, aber die Performance ist für ein Gigabit-Netzwerk super. Verbindungsabbrüche haben wir nur noch wenn die DSL Verbindung abbricht. Wer Koaxialanschlüsse im Haus hat, sollte MoCA definitiv dem WLAN oder Powerline vorziehen. Der Preis ist zwar höher, aber die erhöhte Stabilität und Performance rechtfertigt meiner Meinung nach die Investition
