Why use MoCA? What problem is it solving?

MoCA adapters can be cheap, and serve a great purpose. What what problem are we trying to solve here? Why not just use WIFI to get internet access spread across your home?

Thanks for stating the purpose of a moca. A lot of people here on YouTube do not state purpose of moca and therefore lose people on the bigger picture.. Thank you.

my coax cable is set up like the black cable example. i was having a hard time finding out if it would work for my setup. thanks for answering this!

[Longface]

Thanks for this video! I also have a place in my basement where all the coax cables come together in a single point. However, my Internet router/modem is far away from this point, and it is upstairs, but still near a coax outlet. If I start my MoCA upstairs by my modem, can it still reach every other coax outlet in the house? Thanks in advance!

My internet comes in on a coax line and plugs directly into the back of my gateway modem. I'm assuming that there is a filter on the ingress point. From this I guess my modem simply "repeats" the Ethernet data back out to the house. There's a cable run in each room of the house that is still active and we plug those into Comcast boxes to get TV, but I believe this is streamed TV, and not traditional cable. This means that if I just turn MoCA on in my modem settings I can plug up an adapter anywhere? I shouldn't have to worry about collision slowdowns if the bandwidth already supports 10gig speeds?

In this photo where would you plug your wifi router?

I am adding a new faster (going from 1 Mbps to 25....yippeee!!) internet service in a rural area with a dish and line of sight technology by the ISP. I have a new home with 4 coax cables ran to my dish location. I am only using one for the DirecTV. Do I even need MOCA at all if my coax line coming into my hub is dedicated to the ISP? Is there an adaptor that would just convert the coax to ethernet at the router? The router they support does not have a coax connection. Thanks for the great info!!

So essentially, if I have coaxial outlets in my home. One is being used upstairs for my modem and router. I want to have a hard wire Ethernet downstairs. Again, there is a coaxial outlet downstairs. How essentially can I set this up? What do I need in order to get that connection downstairs

[MisterBinx]

My ONT sends signal to my router from the one ethernet jack I have in the house. I want to use a moCA from the router to the coaxial outlet. Then set up another moCa adapter in an upstairs room. Will these adapters allow the internet to be passed through the coaxial network? I thought I had to do something about the network of coax cables outside. I'm worried this isn't going to work.

I have a an ISP router in my room with MoCA output. Can I just connect it to my cable outlet in my room or it has to be connected to a junction?

[bloodwolf]

So Cox's Panoramic modem/router combo is MoCA enabled but "ONLY" for their TV streaming is some bull crap.

I bought a PowerLine 600 TP-LINK and regretted. I Discovered that the powerline pass through a hub, it makes the connection go only 40mbps.
Studiyng now these MOCA adapters. Hope it works.

If I have internet service and cable, yet only using cable for the main family rooms, but having the set up of coaxial cables already in each individual room will I be able to make use of the moca device or will cable need to be turned onto each individual room as well? Thank you for your time and sorry for the confusing question worded oddly.

Everything i have read on moca, says don't use if you have Direct TV or other dish services. Works as you state for cable, but not dish services "The current MoCA cable products only work with cable TV, FiOS or off-air TV services. This is because the frequency band which the current MoCA products use, 850-1550 MHz will interfere with satellite TV signals (but don't interfere with cable or off-air signals)."

[angelocorridori]

So, if I understand what you said near the end, if I have a dedicated coax cable run to each room, MoCA isn't going to be very helpful as I would have to have a MoCA adapter pair for each cable. That sounds like it would be expensive. Is that correct?

[jazzprinceton]

Greetings... If I have a coaxial cable that runs to my TV, can I hook it to the MOCA Converter then the Ethernet from the converter to the router, will I get internet from it or do I need internet to make it work?

[PiRaNjLeS]

This moca filter reduce internet speed

[chamisataza]

Can I use moca even if I have a 200mbps as per verizon u can use coax cable above 100mbps ..

Good video...but don't assume everyone has a basement! Not here in Florida!
