Convert Your Coax Into POWERFUL Ethernet

In the other place I lived, a field technician connected my set top box to my modem with a coax cable. I moved and a field technician told me to buy a LAN cable to connect my set top box with my modem. I bought a 75-foot LAN cable from eBay for $35. I love my LAN cable. Looks more advance than coax.

Great video! I was a fan of MoCA when it became available to DIYers but didn’t commit since my house (1993) was wired with RG56 to each room. How well ones MoCA work nowadays with this cable?

One tip: Since the deco xe75 pro has three ethernet ports, you can use the 3rd port on your main router to go straight to the moca adapter. I have it setup this way for one less hop to the nodes.

This video is as clear as mud. Poor presentation and directions. Set up is the biggest rats nest of cables I have seen on YouTube to date. Disappointing to say the least.

Does this method limit you from using 6E? I thought you would need to run 6E ethernet through your house to use hard wire. Or do you just need to run 6E cable from the coax converter, and it will work?

What about a POE filter to prevent the signal from going outside your home?

Verizon Fios has been doing MoCA for years. Bonded MoCA 2.5 is currently the fastest version. It’s better to buy a 4 port MoCA switch.

So basically you created "thinnet" with the Coax converters. And also once you connect an ethernet cable to those AP's it disables the mesh feature which essentially is another term for "wireless backhaul".

Good info though and i honestly had no idea there were coax to ethernet converters out there!!

Consumer mesh products aren't very good, even the almost $2k Orbie stuff, but will probably work for people doing basic stuff that only have a handful of devices. For a beginner, the coax method is a great idea, like he said the wire is already there, may as well use it. Instead of buying gadgets though, just install some enterprise grade network hardware in your house and you will be infinitely more happy. My internet connection speeds are 800-1k mbps down on average (limited only by the cable companies output) and my network link speed is over 3.5gbps over wifi on devices with the newest hardware. This really helps when you have a home server that contains your life on it. Never use the ISPs equipment, buy your own modem, that also helps with speed. Usually an instant 10% boost. Depending on the square footage of your house, it's not a very big investment either. For incredible coverage outside and in on 4300sqft housel and a 1 acre lot it was only about a $5k investment. Much cheaper if you don't need WiFi out in the far corner of the back yard. If you are serious about a smart home, you're going to need a robust network, when you get into the real stuff it no longer has little hubs, it's all WiFi linked and will tie down your bandwidth pretty quickly when 200+ things are on it. There's companies that will install for you, or just do the research yourself, it's a fun project.

27 years ago, when I had my house built, I had the builder wire each room with 2 coaxial cables and 2 phone lines! I was going to use the second coaxial cable to send video through out the house from my laserdisc player and 3 years later my TiVo. After a few years I wanted to network my 2 desktop computers and I didn’t want to hassle of running cat5 cables through my walls, so I repurposed the coax to network the computers. It worked well for years until WiFi came out .

Hi
Thanks for your very informative video bringing me up to speed on this technology. I thought that you were going to be showing how to make an rj45 to 75-ohm coaxial cable though or that's not possible to do? I have lots of cat 5/6, RJ45s, and 75-ohm coax lying around and I have more than basic electronic skills also soldering skills. Maybe I can do it myself.

If you place your mesh waypoints within a proper range from the main hub and the device supports wifi 6E it should always fluctuate between 700 - 900 mb/s wirelessly .

Do you have two? Or can I use the coaxial cable in my room and hook it up straight to the PS4?

If one can afford it and you have the ability/structure to do it, run cat 6 or higher to where you need it run and get a decent system for your internet. Otherwise, use MoCA. I have a 250meg Comcast Business connection with static IP, hooked to a Ubiquiti USW-Lite-16 POE port switch, and 2 U6-Lite AP's in my home/office; WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. Not expensive at all. Rock solid, no issues. I toyed with MoCA, decided to run ethernet instead. Too many rooms, too many splitters, and the MoCA's would be just as expensive if not more than my current system. I am leaving my COAX for future installation of an antenna, so I can cut the cord. Good luck!

Seems like an awesome way to wire the house, but $170 for just one unit at (1/19/23) prices. I'll just stick with switches and cat cables for cheaper.

Don't do MESH. It's garbage. WiFi 6 Router like an AX4200 is all you need. Trust me, mesh sucks
