Now, I don't need 1 Gbps to the devices I have downstairs(TV, Chromecast). The downside is that MoCA adapters are not cheap, $120 - $160 for a pair of adapters using MoCA 2.5. However, I checked my modem for which frequencies are being used and it's actually using 297 MHz - 495 MHz. MoCA uses 1125 MHz - 1675 MHz so there potentially some overlap. DECA uses 450-460 MHz, right in the middle. My internet connection is delivered over coax using DOCSIS 3.1 over the 258 MHz - 1218 GHz radio frequencies. The hardware is cheap, however there's a big issue with DECA. What about DECA? DECA operates similar to MoCA but was created by DirecTV. It also turns that that ethernet over power generates enough RFI to interfere with shortwave bands of radio, which will be an issue with my ham radio aspirations. After moving the locations of the adapters around, the best I could get was 30 Mbps. I was reaching a blistering 1-5 Mbps! If the adapters have to send data across different circuits the speed is greatly impacted. These were very easy to set up, however the bandwidth was terrible. I decided to try ethernet over powerline and bought a pair of adapters. The options that I came up with were Ethernet over powerline, DECA and MoCA. I just don't have the stomach to make that hole, so I looked into alternatives. Now, I could just drill a hole to the exterior of the house at the both ends and run cable under the siding. Surely, we would be getting new paint for the rooms and then I would be set to punch the holes I needed.Ģ years later we still haven't found new paint, and the WiFi is killing me when I'm trying to push a large 4k HDR file to a plex client downstairs at original quality. I opted to not run cable to the 1st floor since I would have to open up multiple holes in my drywall that would need patching and repainting. I'd recommend getting a switch or wi-fi access point for extra flexibility, and those are dirt cheap these days.A couple years ago I ran CAT6A Ethernet through the 2nd floor of my house.
If the only connection is your computer, though, you can plug straight into the MoCA adapter. When I bought them a year ago, they were $150/pair, I also needed a PoE filter for the cable service connection ($6, keeps the neighbors from seeing my stuff) and a wi-fi access point at the apartment end.
I'm using Actiontec ECB6200 MoCA 2.0 adapters to provide internet access to an in-law apartment above a detached garage on our property that's about 250 feet from the main house. What would you recommend? Price IS an object, but so is better and more consistent speed/latency.MoCA (Ethernet over Coax) has been remarkably fast and trouble-free for me.
Which of these three options would you recommend?ī) Ethernet over powerline (I know that the circuit in the man cave is not the same circuit as the router)Ĭ) Ethernet over coax - the house is wired for cable (currently not in use), but I'm sure that the cable outlets for each location go through some sort of junction box. The wifi for my computer in my basement man cave is sometimes spotty/slow/high latency.
