Hitron HTEM5 MoCA 2.5 Adapter Kit (2-Pack) | 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax | Multi-Gig Wired Backhaul for Mesh WiFi, Streaming & Gaming | Includes 2 Adapters, Coax & Ethernet Cables

Works and was very simple to set up. I'm pretty tech savvy and thought there would be at least some configuration, but it's basically plug and play.

Solves wiring problems. Let me reuse an existing RG6 coax typically used to bring CATV signals around the house to distribute Ethernet. There was a preexisting piece of coax leading from the garage to the basement office. The new fiber modem/router from the cable company was placed in the garage and I needed to get a CAT5 wire to the office in the basement. Running a new wire would have been messy and time consuming. Placed one MoCA adapter at the router in the garage using the supplied coax jumper and Ethernet jumper. Connected the existing coax and placed the other MoCA adapter in the basement office. Instant network! Measured 345Mbps on Ookla speed test. So if you have old coax cable TV wiring in your home of quality cable (RG6 quad shielded) it can be repurposed for dropping RJ45 Ethernet connections for streaming programing and video game consoles. The MoCA network is compatible with higher quality CATV splitters. You need one MoCA adapter for each location where Ethernet is required. This kit comes with two MoCA adapters, CAT5 and coax jumpers, wallwarts for the adapter. Simple plug and play connection.

Extremely happy with the performance of these adapters. I have 1GB fiber optic, but the room I was set up in doesn't have ethernet lines run to it, and it was going to be fairly costly for me to have them run to that room. I took a chance on these MCOA adapters and I went from about 200Mbps on WIFI to +930Mbps when using the adapters sending over my cable lines and converting back to ethernet connection in my office.

The device is technically fine, but I should have done more research about the type of cable I had, as that apparently makes a massive difference. My house has old cable from 05 and, while it technically works, it's much slower than my WiFi because of the cable. When using a newer cable for testing, it did get full speed. So, it's no good in this house... But, maybe I can put it to use in my next house. Who knows. Unfortunately, the builders made it fairly impossible to upgrade the existing cable without doing a ton of damage, so I'm stuck with it until my lease is up. Ended up just re-terminating all the phone jacks in the house to be Ethernet instead, and put a switch in the phone box in my closet. Long story short, do a lot of research before you order this. It matters.

Review October 2024*** ORIGINAL PROBLEM ***My home office on the other side of the house was getting slow Wifi, even on mesh network.*** BEFORE ***I have 1,000Mbit down, 600up fiber to the house (FTTH) from AltaFiber in Ohio.Before installing this device, I had Google Wifi with 4 points (1 main point for internet, 3 mesh points). My personal laptop in my home office was getting 50Mbit down using Wifi connection.*** SETUP ***My setup now. Fiber from the street running inside to my basement >> ONT from AltaFiber >> Ethernet cable >> Google Wifi router >> Ethernet cable >> NETGEAR switch #1 >> Ethernet cable >> THIS MoCA adapter DEVICE #1 >> coax cable through the walls >> THIS MoCA adapter DEVICE #2 >> ethernet >> NETGEAR switch #2 (for 2 laptops) >> Ethernet >> 2 laptops ethernet ports*** RESULTS ***After installing this, I am getting between 750Mbit to 900Mbit down, and 550+ Mbit up!!! This is data from several tests using the speed test side "fast dot com". Significant improvement!!!!*** A few notes ***When you do this, make sure to turn off the WIFI on your computer to force it to use the wired connection.Also the device here includes some CAT6 ethernet cables. I recommend CAT6, and not CAT5e, and definitely NOT CAT5 without the e. CAT6 just gives it more "breathing room".I had to get a female to female coax adapter from a big box home improvement store, go into the basement and connect the 2 coax cables together that were hanging from the walls above (1 from family room where my router is, 1 from my home office). This enables the connection between the 2 rooms.I did buy a coax tester from a big box home improvement store for ~$30 and fortunately, not only did the tool work great, it showed my cox to my rooms were in good shape. I would have been out of luck if it wasn't. So I did test that before I bought this.My 2 NETGEAR switches are NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305)My GOOGLE Wifi mesh devices (all 4) are Google WIFI point gen 1 from 2017, before they called them Nest Wifi. For my laptops now, I only use 1 now for my access to the internet from ONT fiber. I still use the other 3 for google Wifi points for all my handheld devices. But my laptops are now "wired".My house was built in 2002 and the coax cables are original to the house. I have no idea if there are different coax cable "speeds" like we have with ethernet (e.g., cat6, 5e, etc.).I do not use cable TV service from the cable company (Time Warner Spectrum) or the telephone company (Altafiber), so for that I had it easy. I cut the cord in 2013 and don't have traditional cable TV service. Because of that, I didn't have to worry about filters or whatever.Overall, so far, great product. I hope they last for a few years.

Works amazing. i have 1 of these plugged into my router going into a coax port in a wall, then I have 2 more of these in 2 other rooms, 1 connected to a computer, and another one connected to a network switching going to 2 more computers, all with only 1 receiver plugged into the router, 3 adapters total and it handles it like a champ even with all 3 computers using the network, and it all worked instantly without any configuration, was well worth it and I'm very happy with it and only slightly slower then running multiple 50ft ethernet cables along the floor of the house

Bought this to create a wired backhaul between Orbi router and 2 Orbi satellites. Did not work. System keeps disconnecting and even restaring on its own, both the Orbies and the moca adapters. Returned these and got Asus MA-25 instead. Asus is working as advertised, no issues.
