I've been working on boosting the speed of my main computer for frequent video transfers from my media library. After years using MoCA, I now rely on a setup involving a TP-Link TL-SG3428X and a goCoax MA2500D. Everything connects smoothly at 2.5Gb, but file transfers to my DS1821+ only reach 20-30 MB/s when linked to a mapped network drive on the 10G IP. Switching to a different drive on the same IP brings speeds up to 100-120 MB/s for my Synology's LAG. I'm using TeraCopy for these moves. My network layout is: DS1821+ → SFP+ → TL-SG3428X → Transceiver → Cat6 → MA2500D → Coax → MA2500D → Cat6 → PC. I'm running the Realtek 2.5GbE port on my X570 and a 10G Intel SFP+ card in the DS1821+. I also tried a MokerLink 2.5G switch, but results remain similar. I recently tested a Cat7 cable from Amazon for direct connection, achieving ~200 MB/s—significantly better than the 1G IP’s ~900 Mb/s. This suggests something unusual with my MoCA adapters might be affecting performance.

I haven't used MoCA before, but its speed is only as fast as the hardware allows. Signal quality plays a big role in how much you can get. MoCA usually works better than Powerline, so you might reach speeds near gigabits. Powerline is hit-or-miss due to many interference sources. From what you've seen, Ethernet is the most dependable choice, especially for longer distances. If you have budget for DAC, it's worth considering for shorter setups.
