The Actiontec ECB6250S02 – Better with Friends
Create a 2.5 Gbps “Internet Autobahn” between your Router and a WiFi Access Point or WiFi Extender, by connecting one MoCA Network Adapter to your Router and one to your WiFi Access Point or Extender in another room. This superhighway uses the existing cable wiring as a backhaul or “Internet Autobahn” for expanding the Wi-Fi network beyond your primary router.

I am using this control my back yard outdoor lights. I don’t really use the app as I am controlling it with Alexa and Alexa app. Wi fi seems great as I have not lost control yet. I will be purchasing another for the front yard and Christmas lighting.

Way easier than running new Cat 6 cables through the walls. Highly, highly recommend.
Customer –
Easy to install and use. I prefer more use cases in their documentation.
Windy Trader –
Absolutely needed it in a 4 story townhouse where I needed bench strength networking due to my work. Wifi pods were good but not the same as CAT5/6. Easy to set up, works flawlessly.
NOTE: I am an Xfinity/Comcast customer and I found out I do NOT need 2 of these (you only get 1 per package). My Xfinity/Comcast router is MOCA (media over coaxial alliance) capable (I had to “enable” it via my router’s admin page).
Kyeoms –
Great product, easy to install, now we can have direct connected computers in the main rooms! Thank you!
John J. Wach –
Highly recommend for anyone that has coax without CAT cabling. Installed in minutes. Data transfer rates are fantastic… I setup with a separate WiFi router in my upstairs office. Gave Tech Support 5 stars even though I didn’t need to use it.

When we went into COVID-19 lockdown (work from home), we had to scramble to set up a home office. I wanted a hard-wired internet connection (more reliable than WiFi), but the room of choice has only a co-axial cable outlet. I patched in that cable outlet to another cable outlet near my router, and used these devices as media converters in the following fashion: Router-Ethernet-MOCA-coax(~120 feet)-MOCA-Ethernet-PC. With a laptop connected directly to my router, I can get 450 Mbps from my service provider. Through this pair, same. In other words, this device is good for *at least* 450 Mbps. Highly recommended for repurposing those abandoned coax cables in your older home.

Very easy to install. It would be nice if vendors would take colorblindness into account and use a blue light rather than amber/red/green for indicators, but I don’t expect that any time soon. As a colorblind person it was difficult to read the link light. In the end, everything worked fine, 1000Mbps bidirectional link, using 1Gbps tx and 1Gbps rx on the 2.5Gbps Coax medium. Plugged into a switch on each side, acting as a point to point.
If using in a standard configuration where you have Coax linked up to the Cable company network coming into the premises, make sure you pick up a POE filter to prevent your data from leaking upstream. I believe the MPS encryption mitigates the impact of leaked data, but why risk leaking anything at all?

I first tried this with my original cable service and it appeared to work well through about 100 ft or more of cable. After I switched to new provider, it interfered in some way with my router so I had to abandon it.
Henry Louie –
I have CenturyLink fiber into my house. I connected one adapter to the fiber-to-ethernet converter output to the coax in my house, and the other between the coax and the WiFi/ethernet router in my upstairs office. Rock solid connection. No loss in speed.
Customer –
Easy to use, install and does what intended. Long run from my garage where fiber comes in, to office where I use my own router. Converter on each end and NO loss of speed (500/500). Converted ethernet from ONT to COAX, 50 ft run to office, then COAX to ethernet to Router. No loss.
Darren Carson –
This worked better than i expected. It solved the “dead zone” on the one side of my home where my office is. It also improved the signal for my daughter who is taking online classes. The installation was quick and painless.
