Performance issues are affecting MoCA speeds.
Performance issues are affecting MoCA speeds.
Hey everyone, I just purchased a set of actiontec MoCA 2.5 boxes from Amazon to simplify running Ethernet throughout my home. The first box connects a coax outlet splitter to the MoCA unit and then to the modem (Netgear CM1150V). Since I already had an Ethernet connection to the lower box, which is linked to my router (R7000-100NAS), the MoCA devices needed that setup. While testing internet speeds, I noticed slower connections via Ethernet compared to Wi-Fi across the house—about 130/35 Mbps for MoCA and 250/30 Mbps over Wi-Fi. Any suggestions on why these speeds are so low?
MoCA depends fully on the condition of your home coax cable, covering factors like noise, interference, and splitters. The only reliable method to confirm device performance is by connecting them via a brief coax link and following the guidance provided. A solid watch for both installation advice is essential.
