Note: This is a single adapter solution for Verizon FiOS users and users who already have one MoCA adapter installed. Most users will need the ECB2500C MoCA Adapter Kit which includes two adapters.*

Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter for Homes with Cable TV Service (ECB2500C) Reviews
| 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful  Works, Kind of..., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter for Homes with Cable TV Service (ECB2500C) (Personal Computers) I have Verizon FiOS and I purchased this product to provide an Ethernet connection to a TV in the bedroom in order to stream Netflix. I purchased this version, instead of the 2200V, because this version has the splitter internal to the device. I figured that would mean I didn't need a bulky splitter and the device would handle signal amplification if it was needed.When I hooked up this device in accordance with the instructions I found that the Video On Demand and Multi-Room DVR functionality was no longer working. I decided to reset the cable box to see if it needed to come on-line with the MOCA device on-line in order to configure itself. This resulted in the cable box having no channel guide information. I then shut everything off and used an external splitter. When I used a splitter and kept this MOCA device out of line with the cable box everything started working again. Conclusion: This device does provide a fast Ethernet connection like it says... Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  As good as it gets, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter Kit for Homes with Cable TV Service (ECB2500CK01) (Personal Computers) I was very skeptical of this because I have used and put up with a similar device that does it over the electrical lines and it was stable but very slow. All of these devices are fine if you are only accessing the internet, but I have a large server with multi terrabytes of media that I like to stream through the house. I have a gigabit connection to every computer in the house, but I just couldn't get an ethernet cable downstairs to the TV, that was my issue.As I said, with previous ethernet over powerline devices I was getting 2.5-3MB/s max through the devices. I was really needing more. So I gave this ethernet over coax a try because I have about 3 coax connections in each room, they are everywhere. I was not expecting much, but I was quite impressed. I ran many tests over the network to and from the server and I was getting a steady 9-10MB/s and it would peak up to 11.8MB/s, which is right at the ceiling of Fast ethernet which is what they chose to put on these...

If you need fast stable ethernet connections, and you can't run wired ethernet Cat6e, and you have access to coax, then these are "must have" network enabling devices for Home TV/Media setups! Netflix/Hulu Plus streaming is fast on my devices, and transferring shows on my two Tivo Premieres is as fast as standard wired ethernet (given the bottleneck is reduced down to the Tivo's themselves, and not the wiring). I speedtested and compared the bandwidth on my laptop between the best areas of wifi in my house and this directly connected to the MOCA adapter on the other end. With WiFi "N" I am getting 15Mbps Down /... Read more |
