Ethernet Over Coax EOC Adapter Kit (DECA-100) - Twin Pack - by PAIRTEK

Absolutely spectacular! Fast and easy! If only they cost half as much, they would be perfect.My main router is in the basement, where my office is, and where the cable, internet and phone wiring enters the house. Even with an awesome and expensive wireless router, the signal two floors above was a bit slow. I did not want to run an Ethernet cable either through the walls or on the outside of the house (it's just such a pain in the neck), but noticed some extra, unused coax wiring that went from the basement to the second floor. So first, I set up a satellite router in the basement just to make sure that I had everything configured correctly. Then I bought these adapters, screwed them to both ends of an existing wire, connected one end to the existing router, and connected the other end going to the satellite router.It worked instantaneously and fabulously. I never even looked to see if there were any documentation, as it was completely unnecessary. The only possible problem that I can see anyone running into would involve the satellite router. If you are plugging from the primary router directly to a PC, it seems quite foolproof to me.Oh, and the speed is outstanding, even going from PC to wireless router to RG45 cable to Dualcomm Ethernet Adapter to coax cable to the other Dualcomm Ethernet Adapter to another RG45 cable to the base router to a cable modem to the world. I am getting 45 Mbps without breaking a sweat, with no perceivable start-up lag time.

I thought that this product was exactly what I needed. I had a bedroom that only had a TV coax outlet, but no ethernet outlet for the Internet. I added the device to both ends of the coaxial cable using only 1' of CAT5 cabling. This was in accordance with the email I received from Dualcomm a couple of days after receiving the product. They warned that the CAT5 cable length was critical and should be as short as possible. As soon as a installed the two adapters and connected the destination port to a netbook, it seemed to work. But shortly later the streaming video function (amazon.com prime) quit in the living room. There are 5 computers, one media center, one printer & nine cameras on the network. The computers would no longer connect to the Internet. The adapter was connected to an ethernet switch. So I moved it to connect directly to the router. Within 10 seconds the streaming video quit. I am well versed in network technology and I have never seen anything like this failure before in 25 years. Do not buy this device. The network topology where this adapter (upper right hand corner to basement switch LAN7) was connected is shown in the attachment.

I used these to hard wire a firestick to my network in a room that has coax but no Ethernet. Plugged them in on each end (Amazon makes an Ethernet adapter for firesticks) and they fired right up, no issues.Ethernet is about 390 Mbps in my house, the firestick went from 40 Mbps over wifi to 90 Mbps over the coax with these adapters. I'm happy with that.Maybe the more expensive competitors are faster? I don't know, but the price and simplicity of these (no supplemental power, no buttons, no settings) makes them a good solution. Well done!

I got the EoC adapters, did some creative jumpering in my junction box and I had Ethernet at the switch in my office. The results of speed tests show that there was no significant difference with the addition of 60 or so feet of co-ax, which is pretty impressive and, of course, it is much faster than wifi. I have three devices connected to a switch at the far end of the EoC connection: A PC, a Mac and a VoIP phone. The PC and the VoIP phone have worked perfectly since I turned on the EoC a few days ago, but the Mac is periodically unhappy and won't see the Internet. I don't know what the issue is, and it's possibly due to something unrelated that I've done to the Mac rather than a bigger issue with the EoC adapters, but the problem goes away if I run a CAT-5 cable across the floor, bypassing the EoC connection.

This is Awesome! Absolute perfect solution for my issue!I recently cut the cord on TV subscriptions and decided to just stream everything. The problem I had is that one TV on the other side of the house had issues over WiFi. Since the COAX was still there and the new router is located where the old cable modem fed the house, I decided to give this a shot.I connected this to the COAX at the router and plugged it into an open slot. Then I connected it between the COAX and a $55 Kodi box at the TV. I used HDMI from the Kodi box to the TV.Speed is lightning fast! Assuming you have a direct connection over COAX, this is a true plug and play solution.

These may work for sending Ethernet over coax but I have been unsuccessful in getting them to work for me after following instructions and using test equipment with the m.

I bought 2 pairs, for the purpose of providing internet to different locations in the house.Coaxial length 20m: First pair is connected from the modem to the ethernet port of the PC; works well., PC reports 100 mbps.Coaxial length 50m: Tried to connect from the modem to the ethernet port of the PC. Most of the time, no connection available. Ocassionally, PC reports 10 mbps internet for very short periods. Added a switch between the modem and DECA-100; continuous internet but at 10 mbps. Put the switch between DECA-100 and PC; continuous internet at 100 mbps.As far as internet connection is concerned, considering the price plus the cost of the switch, it is still cheaper than powered EoC devices. A plus point is that they are easy to handle, small and light. Being passive, don't require any power supply socket.

The picture of the store page advertises a thread into the silver of the adapter. That thread doesn’t exist, YOU CANNOT CONNECT IT TO HOME COAX or any coax that has a thread.If you zoom in on the thread of the silver in the store page picture, you can see it’s a sticker or photoshopped, the grooves of the thread aren’t real.
