Unreliable wireless? Is Powerline adapter too slow? Coax Ethernet Adapter Kit heard?

Networking devices for home are much more practical and adaptable for computer users, when a few years ago. For performance and reliability you not network cable cat5/6 to beat, but for home users is not usually an option especially if in apartments for rent life. Wireless is usually the main form of network connectivity at home and in recent years Powerline adapter (wall plugged adapter rotate electric AC outlets in Ethernet connections) have used were and are becoming increasingly popular for wireless dead angle in homes. A new and less known network connection device aimed at MoCA coax Ethernet Adapter Kit is home.

MoCA is an acronym for multimedia over Coax Alliance, you are responsible for the development of the specification for networking via coax cable.

Coaxial cable is found in most homes and standard cable used in conjunction with TV, radio and cable TV.

Speeds RJ45 are claiming 100 MB / S max up to 270 MB / S but Ethernet LAN port on the coax Ethernet adapter are.

Multiple devices can be connected, communicate to the same coax infrastructure and in a mesh as on the shared disk (cable). A limit of 8 devices have MoCA 1.0 chipsets. The newer devices use MoCA 1.1, have a limit of 16 devices. MoCA will cooperate 1.0 and 1.1 certified products.

MoCA coax Ethernet Adapter Kit are sold in pairs and the units function as Ethernet bridges coax.The technology converts regular Ethernet traffic into a signal that is able to share coaxial infrastructure wiring, the cable TV cable through radio or regular TV signals.Each adapter has a RJ45 network LAN port (found on the back of the laptop, computers and game consoles except Wii) and two coaxial connectors (F type).The second coaxial connector is to happen, what already is cable TV box i.e. the coax cable, so that it works as normal continue.

The following example explains, used as a coax Ethernet Adapter Kit are can: a game console is connected to your shiny HDTV, but online gaming is laggy and play to HD video files from the PC ruckartig.Sie have no network connection after your HDTV HDTV on the console is, it seems, have to live with WiFi or Powerline adapters.But the facilities a few coax Ethernet adapter could connect much better accessible. would the first adapter plugged, run the coax to your cable modem in your Office and the RJ45 port would it via cat5 Ethernet cable to the router connected appliance.the second adapter is located behind your HDTV in-line with the coax cable to the cable TV box run and the RJ-45 port on the adapter here over cat5 Ethernet cable to the back of your game console connected. Voil?, you're connected to faster and more reliable than WiFi or Powerline.

Availability and price

These are the weak points for MoCA coax Ethernet Adapter Kit. availability is fine in the United States, and two of the most important producers of computer network devices produce a Kit (a few).

D-link DXN-221 MoCA coax Ethernet Adapter Kit (MOCA 1.1)

and

NETGEAR MCAB1001 - MoCA coax Ethernet Adapter Kit (MOCA 1.1)

Both are about $ 185.Aber MoCA coax Ethernet adapter for less, Motorola NIM100 had (MOCA 1.0) were one of the first adapter on the market and allows for less than $ 120 for a few on eBay had (Motorola sold directly to consumers) be.

MoCA coax Ethernet Adapter Kit are still come on the market in the UK, and eBay is also trocken.So wait for computer users in the UK and see how this product for example is a little more niche as Powerline adapter.

Nicholas Milenkovic (Mobile PC Doctor) provides it services such as computer repair and network to Chelmsford and scoped Essex in the United Kingdom set up.
