Let's talk about MoCA / Multimedia over Coaxial.
Is anybody running MoCA 2.0?
My rig is upstairs, router is downstairs. WiFi is that great for gaming. Right now I'm using a $99 Ethernet over Powerline adapter. I'm honestly pretty happy with it so far. House was built in 2000, wiring and circuitry are decent.
I have a 300 down, 10 up line. With EoP I'm getting roughly have that, about 150 down, still about 7-10 up.
Latency hasn't been too much of an issue, I get about 60 ping where I would normally get 50-55 ping.
However, I'm always looking for the best connection I can get without drilling through the ceiling and such which has lead me to MoCA 2.0:
"Offers actual data rates up to 1 Gbps net throughputs
Performance modes of 400 and 800 (bonded) Mbps net throughputs also available.
Greater than 90% outlet coverage.
One in one hundred million packet error rate (PER) with 3.6ms latency.
Sleep and standby low power modes.
500 – 1650MHz operating frequency."
It seems to fully implement this properly it would set me back $150-160:
- Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter, 2 Pack (ECB6200K02) $156.52
- Filter, MoCA "POE" Filter for Cable TV Coaxial Networking ONLY $5.90
- 2-Way MOCA Splitter 5-1675Mhz $5.96
