@@nxmu Late on the reply here, but the answer to your question is no. If you are paying for a 200 mbps plan, it doesn’t matter what hardware you have on your end as max speeds will be limited by your provider.
only issue with MoCA is that each MoCA node acts as a hub not a switch so the more you add the slower the speeds you can get so for the fastest speeds you only want to use two MoCA nodes at one time. same Applies to Powerline adapters the more you connect the slower speeds each one will theoretically get as they also act like hubs, hubs unlike switches are dumb devices, so any signals will be sent to all nodes at one once on MoCA/Powerline adapters so the more nodes the more redundant traffic you add to the network, if you understand this short comings of both MoCA & Powerline adapters they can be a fantastic way to get a wired connection without running ethernet all over the place or in the walls.
For an ethernet switch you would need to drill walls, pull cables etc if you want to hardwire. Not everyone has that luxury, while most of us have coax wires in the wall sitting unused
I’ve been thinking of getting this. I got one of those power line Ethernet adapters that connect via Bluetooth but they aren’t working good at all, still takes forever to download the simplest things so maybe this will do the trick
@@andrewyachovitz6749 I see, powerlines are tricky, a lot depends on how straight the connection is between the points and type of wiring you have. The coax will be more stable for sure
I have this issue in my condo and was wondering how to configure my coaxial cable internet. I have a cable jack in my living room and one in my bedroom. My ISP is using the cable jack in my living room to connect to my own modem and then the Ethernet from my modem to my router. So I can’t use that cable jack since it’s connected to the modem/router. How would I go about connecting my cable jack in my bedroom using moca? Do I put a moca adapter in front of my router and modem? Do I use a splitter? I can’t run wires that long since I have no attic access. Any ideas on how to configure this? I want to use the 2nd coaxial cable jack to set up a wired mesh system for my condo. Any ideas would be helpful!
Need some advice. My TV (Samsung Q90) is in another room, I’ve deleted pretty much all streaming apps and use Fmovies to watch all shows/movies. However, it’s always lagging, have a wifi pod in that room as well with no improvement. Would a eth to usb adaptor help my situation?
that is a very good question, a lot of factors that could go wrong. It could be internet, could be your TV. I'm more of LG fan, but I had similar issue. Turns out all I had to do was clean cookies and clean up cache as well as delete anything I don't use. There might be setting to do it automatically on your TV as well. Check this out before you get into investing in hardwires.
My first point of all is if wifi is bad and you cant run ethernet directly to the device is to grab a Powerline Adapter kit of some kind, as for a lot of people they do the job just fine as long as the wiring in the walls is not crazy old you should be good to go, you may not always get your full internet speed if you have like a 1gig connection with them but will be sure of much better latency thats more consistent that should reduce things buffering so much, TP-Link make some kits they even make ones that have passthrough power so you dont loose the use of the plug outlet.
@arranmc182 I would say it depends here. If you have a spare coax, you could add another wifi access point straight after MoCA and get your full speed. Then if there is no coax nearby, powerline is the next next step. However, you need to make sure you are on the same poweline phase. In north America you have220-240 volts coming into a house and then it splits into two phases 110-120 each. So if you end up on the wrong line, you will lose speeds. Main advantage of coax MoCA is that you are using that cable exclusively for passage, while with powerline it's a bit more complicated
So i got this rectangular looking router from spectrum and im considering adding a outdoor wifi extender outside my house that connects wirelessly or with a wired connection Ethernet wise is there a surten type i need or do most devices run with a surten type?
it's a lot to explain in a single comment... usually it's better get same type devices if you are not too tech savvy, so it would be easier for you to setup. But generally, brand etc doesn't really matter as long you know what specs to choose for hardware and know what you are doing.
I'd say you definitely have enough upload speed. If I'm not wrong, twitch only needs like 5mbs upload as minimum requirement. Download in this case is not as important as upload.
Hey bro, I want to ask what you think i should do to get a better internet connection on the other side of my house from the isp? Would this work? I want to stream and game
Streaming is uploading, so you need to look at upload speeds as many ISPs have good download speeds and bad upload speed. Ideally get a Fibre optic line ad those do symmetrical upload and download speeds.
@billybobjr762 if you have a Fibre line then you should be good with whatever package you have. What is your current download and upload speeds? You can check it with fast.com
@RomanDoes yeah, but it's too far from the main thing ( I'm sorry, I'm not really big into tech, so I don't know the terms) like right now I have the fiber hooked up to my office room which is on the other side of my house ( roughly 3ksqft) and it doesn't give wifi on the other side ( where my bedroom is). I'm getting mid 200kmb upload and download speed rn, but I plan on upgrading to 1gb. I plan on streaming and gaming on a pc, but I want it in my bedroom. Do you think I should call at&t to add a fiber cable to my bedroom?
@billybobjr762 200mbps upload is more than enough for streaming in 1080p. Moving your router will most likely cost you money, but you can always ask! This is where this little box comes handy in the video, if you have coax cable in your room and near the router you can get it instead of drilling new hole from outside in your wall.
So I have my router upstairs, and a console downstairs without a coax or Ethernet cable in my room, and I want to connect the two, how do you suggest I do that? (Preferably without a 100 foot Ethernet cable)
@drcranko6000 no, you plug ethernet cable into it on the router side and on the other end you can use either cable as well or they have a separate wifi add-on
Okay, soo i do need a fast internet plan and use Spectrums 1GB plan. But, do people NEED an internet plan for this to work? Or can they use it if they only have cable tv? Do they even need to have a cable tv plan? I mean, im sure they would at least need to have a cable tv plan. But what about having an internet plan?
@@RomanDoes Okay, no that makes sense and that's kinda what I figured considering the internet does come through the coaxial cable into the modems. But, I wasn't sure if this was like a "loophole" for people to have access to the internet who don't have an internet plan. I don't know who wouldn't have internet these days, but still. I'm sure there are people out there. So yeah, thanks for clearing that up bud.
Yep, plugin into coax in receiving room and plugin another box on the sending side - the one by your router, then plug-in your ethernet cables. Make sure you get this model: amzn.to/3EnkU5V This is the faster one.
I got it and plugged it in but when I opened my pc up after connecting it it just said Ethernet connected but no internet. Anybody know how to actually have a connection
@@MaxwellM-so1su gues what happened basically it turns out the coax cable outlet in my room was inactive after like a couple hours we tried it in another room and it had internet then we just got a long cable and ran the cable into my pc now my setup works great
I have several coax cables in each room going to a front closet. Just sitting there not connected to anything. How will this work. Router is on the other side of the house.
Just as per the manual, you plug one end to your router side and as many as you need on the output side. The more adapters you have linked to the sourse, the less bandwidth you will have on the output as it equally splits your traffic.
@SilentNolife sorry, I don't get what you tried to achieve with these. Could you please elaborate? Did you buy them to have ethernet cable or did you think they will speed up your internet? All they do is connect room A to room B via coax in your walls when you have no ethernet cables. Adapter will no make your internet speed faster, but it will make ethernet speed faster, for example if you have a storage device on the other end, it will exchange data with that device at up to 2.5gbps, but to browse internet or stream, or game, you will be locked to your internet provider plan, which in your case is 25mbps.
