Updated moca 1.0 connectors to moca 2.5 connectors without any change in speed.
I just swapped the moca 1.0 direct tv adapters for this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088K3F63F?psc...ct_details. It’s now delivering around 90 to 100 Mbps per second. I’m still seeing similar speeds with my 1 Gbps internet connection.
In a typical household setting, you rarely encounter the actual performance limits of these setups. Numerous factors come into play. There’s nothing close to 100Mb/s on these links, is there?
I haven't checked the cable connected to the adapter yet. Could a very long coax connection affect performance?
Yes, it's possible. The type of coax available plays a role. RG-59 underperforms compared to RG-6, which in turn does worse than RG-8. (There are stronger cable options beyond that, but even RG-8 is reaching the limits of effectiveness for residential setups.) Installation method also matters. Running it alongside AC power can introduce interference. (Avoid placing data and AC cables too close together.) If the connectors aren't properly connected—especially if shield strands touch the center conductor—it can weaken your signal. (This is particularly problematic when a shield strand brushes the center wire.) You'll experience a loss of signal strength for each splitter the signal must pass through. A direct connection between the two devices is ideal, but if not, asymmetric splitters are common, with one connector offering less attenuation. Also, verify the Ethernet cables and devices. If they're limited to 10/100 ports or use damaged or basic CAT5 cable, the MoCA modules might actually be the issue.
Absolutely, achieving a home run makes CAT5e the top choice. Many focus on cutting-edge CAT6 or above, but for shorter distances even 5Gbps works well over CAT5e. If you just need Gigabit, you’ve got plenty of room to spare.
Also verify each splitter in use between the two MoCA adapters; they must operate at high frequency, specifically up to 2.4GHz (2400MHz). If no frequency range is mentioned, they likely don’t meet the requirement.
