ScreenBeam Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter for High Speed Internet, Ethernet Over Coax - Starter Kit (Model: ECB6200K02)

In my house, the UHF TV signal is distributed throughout the house by a 12 way distribution amplifier fed from a log periodic aerial in the loft. There is a restrictive covenant covering all houses on the estate that prohibits any aerials other than satellite dishes and these must be fitted below the roof line. My house is in a dip and out of sight of the transmitting aerial some 15 miles away. The signal can be intermittent and prone to distortion especially in certain weather conditions. To provide a good signal to the two main reception rooms I used an existing SkyQ satellite dish to receive Freesat satellite signals. This meant that the two coax cables from the distribution amplifier in these rooms are not needed. However, a consistent high speed network feed for streaming is essential. This led to a decision to unplug these coax cables from the distribution amplifier in the loft and connect them together so that there is a continuous coax cable between the lesser reception room which houses the FTTP (Fibre to the premise) broadband feed and the main reception room. They are 15m apart. Initially, I purchased the ScreenBeam starter pack of MoCA Network Adapters (ECB6250) and they were an immediate success. Installation is very simple and quick. I had the link working in ten minutes. I was so pleased with the setup that I then purchased an additional single adapter to connect the Office computers to the net. I replaced the coax cable connector in the loft with one of the splitters included with the kits and then connected the Office cable to the splitter. I was delighted with the results. The average of a series of Ookla broadband speed tests using the computer in the office returned a download speed of 941 Mbps and an upload speed of 110 Mbps. If you are interested in using these MoCA adapters I would suggest using F Type cable connectors throughout. In my setup, the coax cables to the distribution amp were already F Type and I replaced the face plates in the Reception rooms and Office with F type faceplates. Also you will need to purchase USA to GB plug adapters as the kits come from the USA. That said, service from the company via Amazon was outstanding and the units were delivered within days and update information was timely and informative.

As mentioned in title I cannot understand why this is not a product sold in the UK, except to let internet providers make money on us. I tried power line adaptor in the past but I had three issues with them (tried few brands) lost bandwidth, phone stay connected to other room until it loose signal and get new one. And doesn't work well with smart home devices as they ended up not seen depending on what adapter they are one. This adaptor is plugged in straight to my modem in my office, go in the attic via the existing coax cable made for the TV, and is then distributed back to the bedroom and living room on the ground floor opposite side of the office. A new adaptor on the other end of the coax, and the ethernet goes to a ethernet splitter. TV PS4 mesh router, Chromecast dongle, smart home gateway.. everything is plugged in as if it was on the office router. No loss of bandwidth. The only reason this product is not advertised in the UK is for providers to force more expensive services or cheap power line adaptor.

Given the number of properties in the UK with coax distribution, this is an excellent way to link rooms together. Purchased the ECB7250 add-on to work with an existing ECB6250 starter kit pair. It's worth nothing that despite the manufacturer's table, this IS compatible with the ECB6250. The difference being that the ECB6250 has a 1Gbps ethernet port and the ECB7250 has a 2.5Gbps ethernet port. It's unlikely your network equipment will have a 2.5Gbps port (nothing I do has one) so it'll work at 1Gbps perfectly fine. In theory, the ECB6200 should also be compatible, even though the 6200 runs MoCA 2.0 and the xx50 models run MoCA 2.1 but as I don't have any 6200s I can't test. Other than that, the three devices now work perfectly and we've got three rooms connected.

Had decent WiFi speed of around 300Mbps but now have a more stable speed of around 940Mbps. Obviously not as good as ethernet, and much more expensive but save lots of hassle. Another downside is the running cost since these are powered units consuming around 10 watts per pair when active and virtually nothing when idle. Nevertheless I'm happy with them.

good product wifi is good through these

Funciona perfecto he pasado de 40Mbps con un PLC a 1gbs

Mein Problem: - Altbau - Mehrere Zimmer + Stockwerk zwischen Router und PC - WLan nicht möglich (zu schlechte Verbindung, zu viel Datenübertragungsverslust) - Kabel ziehen war mir zu aufwendig (50-70 Meter wären notwendig gewesen) Nachdem wir inzwischen in einem Zeitalter von Amazon Prime, Netflix und anderen Anbietern leben, nutzen wir unsere Satelliten-Schüssel inkl. der Verkabelung nicht. Also kam mich auf die Idee dieses Produkt auszuprobieren. Inzwischen ist auch der Preis von 100€ für beide Geräte komplett gerechtfertigt. (Beispielsweise ein WLan Repeater kostet schon um die 100€ und hier hätte ich gut 2-3 Stk gebraucht) Als der Netzwerk Adapter kam war ich erst noch Skeptisch. 1) Ich musste das Antennenkabel bei meinem Router durchschneiden und habe mit einem "F-Stecker für Koaxial Kabel" einen neuen Anschluss eingebaut. Anschließend konnte ich das Antennenkabel und Router verbinden. (Den F-Stecker an ein Antennenkabel zu machen bekommt jeder hin, hierfür reicht lediglich ein Cutermesser) 2) Bei meinem PC musste das gleiche gemacht werden, allerdings war hier die Anschlussbuchse für den TV schon vorhanden und konnte direkt in den Adapter gesteckt werden. optional 3) Unsere Verkabelung wurde stillgelegt (Keinen Verteiler bei der Satellitenschüssel), daher habe ich am Dachboden einfach beide Kabel (zum Router und zum PC) miteinander Verbunden. Hierfür habe ich den mitgelieferten Y-Adapter benutzt, diese sind eigentlich dafür gedacht Internet und TV gleichzeitig zu übertragen. 4) Sobald die Verbindung steht, verbinden sich beide Module automatisch und können benutzt werden. Ich musste hier keine Einstellung mehr vornehmen. Internet Übertrag: Ich habe eine 300MBit/s Leitung und bekomme auch die volle Bandbreite am PC an. Ich war hier mehr als überrascht, dass eine verlustfreie Verbindung über das alte Koax-Kabel möglich ist! Beide Adapter sind jetzt seit 4 Monaten durchgehend im Einsatz (tägliche PC Nutzung dank Homeoffice). Bis jetzt hatte ich noch keinen Ausfall der Adapter!! Hinweis: - Es müssen 2 Adapter für die Deutsche Steckdose bestellt werden "US to DE", diese haben mich 4,95€ gekostet. - Die F-Stecker haben mich für 4,90€ für 10 Stk gekostet

Wow, I am so impressed with how quick and easy this was. So I was doing so much research into these as the wifi has a lot of interference here which sometimes makes streaming choppy. I bought these and it is so simple, you just put a 2 way (***moca compatible**) splitter on your coax before your router, run one coax to your router, the other to this adapter and an Ethernet from your router to the adapter and that's it for this end. Now the other side you just go to any coax outlet, run a coax to your adapter and then pplug in your device's ethernet right into that and.... that's it! I plugged it in and had my tech had on all ready to configure something and play around and nope.. it just worked the second I plugged it in. Honestly I am thinking this is a better set up than using wifi, especially for old people, no passwords or fussing around just plug and forget about it. I attached a picture of the speed boost I got from switching, it doubled my download speed to what it actually should be! So things they don't tell you is you'll want: a POE moca filter at your coax coming in to keep the moca network in and other people's out, an extra coax to run to your router (as the old one is now going to the splitter and one included goes to the adapter) and lastly the 3 way splitter but make sure it is one that works with moca as your standard ones don't work with those frequencies I guess. Hope this helps someone!

If you need a hard-wired solution because wifi is not reliable in your home and/or not fast enough then this is your answer. Don't bother with Powerline Adapters. I had powerline adapters in my home for years and they are flaky. I would routinely lose connectivity at least once a day (usually twice), which would require me to physically pull out the adapter from the receptacle. Frustrating. And worse, the speeds that it claims were total BS. Enter Moca 2.0 (ECB6200). Night and Day. These things worked great out of the box. I have a gigabit network and my real-world speeds between PCs is 940Mbps. It's as fast as you're gonna get. Anyway, there are two versions of the ECB6200. The v2A and v2C. The 2C is the newer model and has vents on top (as u see in this product picture). It already comes with the latest firmware. Don't make the mistake asking support to give u a firmware that you think is a higher version (the v2A firmware has a higher # than then the 2C) because it will cause your 2C to act erratically (which can be fixed by reinstalling its original firmware). Also, you can access its admin page via 192.168.144.30 -- you will need to set your NIC card with a static IP with the gateway set to 192.168.144.1 .. Not much to do in there besides check the stats. Also, other things to note. In the adapter's admin page under Node Info don't be concerned if your Phys Speed is 600Mbps+ ... due to bonding it means you are 600 x 2 = 1200Mbps. If you are below 600 it means you have some issues on your coax, which is fixable e.g. you may need a moca filter, you might have one or more DVR units using the MOCA frequency, or you simply need a terminator on your moca adapter. All of these are simple fixes. Sorry for the rambling and the raw review. I'd clean it up and make it more coherent but i am not sure anyone will ever read this. Update: It's been some years since buying these and to this day i am still using these MOCA devices. They are still working perfectly. ScreenBeam, the manufacturer, still provides quality support for them. Just the other day i reached out and asked if there were firmware updates. And indeed there were. They walked me through on how to upgrade my moca devices. Very smooth. And it adds some new, unique features not present before. Fantastic!

I have been using two of these for years without a single issue! I have never had to power cycle them even once! I just added a 3rd to another room of my place and it was picked up immediately and shows a 2.5 network according to my network properties. This is cool tech. For my setup it was essential to install a filter on the cablevision coming into my place or these wouldn't function. As soon as I installed the filter they worked. Just something to note.
