Hey, as mentioned in the title, the game ended because of an issue with the MOCA network. It’s hard to keep the Ethernet line working from my router to my computer. During gaming sessions (about 1-2 hours), I often face around 5 seconds of complete packet loss, which brings me back to the lobby. The adapter I’m using is from Amazon, but it seems unstable. Would switching to something like this for a more reliable connection help? Or could there be another reason I’m missing?

There are numerous options available, and the configuration should function properly. Have you tested it without the filter?

The filter is necessary. When using coax with cable or internet, it must be installed to prevent your data from leaking onto the ISP's network. ISPs dislike this interference.

I used to have no filters at all, and things got even worse. It could just be a low-quality coax in my walls. I live in a big multi-family complex, so I don’t know how old the wiring is, and I can’t install new ones.

It's recommended to use RG6 cabling with Moca. Possibly the problem lies with your older coax. According to my understanding, the filter blocks the Moca signal from leaving your home and sends it back into the network, enhancing its strength.
