Plug and play
Plugged in, turned on and it works without issue. Note, there’s no passthrough on this model. If you just need it to feed signal from your router to the coax network, all good. If you want to put it between your outside feed and your cable modem, and feed signal from the router at the same time, no go.

Great product and functionality
Great for getting a faster connection in my 2006 pre-wired home. Cat5 isn’t fast enough. This helped a lot.

So far, outstanding
Review October 2024*** ORIGINAL PROBLEM ***My home office on the other side of the house was getting slow Wifi, even on mesh network.*** BEFORE ***I have 1,000Mbit down, 600up fiber to the house (FTTH) from AltaFiber in Ohio.Before installing this device, I had Google Wifi with 4 points (1 main point for internet, 3 mesh points). My personal laptop in my home office was getting 50Mbit down using Wifi connection.*** SETUP ***My setup now. Fiber from the street running inside to my basement >> ONT from AltaFiber >> Ethernet cable >> Google Wifi router >> Ethernet cable >> NETGEAR switch #1 >> Ethernet cable >> THIS MoCA adapter DEVICE #1 >> coax cable through the walls >> THIS MoCA adapter DEVICE #2 >> ethernet >> NETGEAR switch #2 (for 2 laptops) >> Ethernet >> 2 laptops ethernet ports*** RESULTS ***After installing this, I am getting between 750Mbit to 900Mbit down, and 550+ Mbit up!!! This is data from several tests using the speed test side “fast dot com”. Significant improvement!!!!*** A few notes ***When you do this, make sure to turn off the WIFI on your computer to force it to use the wired connection.Also the device here includes some CAT6 ethernet cables. I recommend CAT6, and not CAT5e, and definitely NOT CAT5 without the e. CAT6 just gives it more “breathing room”.I had to get a female to female coax adapter from a big box home improvement store, go into the basement and connect the 2 coax cables together that were hanging from the walls above (1 from family room where my router is, 1 from my home office). This enables the connection between the 2 rooms.I did buy a coax tester from a big box home improvement store for ~$30 and fortunately, not only did the tool work great, it showed my cox to my rooms were in good shape. I would have been out of luck if it wasn’t. So I did test that before I bought this.My 2 NETGEAR switches are NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305)My GOOGLE Wifi mesh devices (all 4) are Google WIFI point gen 1 from 2017, before they called them Nest Wifi. For my laptops now, I only use 1 now for my access to the internet from ONT fiber. I still use the other 3 for google Wifi points for all my handheld devices. But my laptops are now “wired”.My house was built in 2002 and the coax cables are original to the house. I have no idea if there are different coax cable “speeds” like we have with ethernet (e.g., cat6, 5e, etc.).I do not use cable TV service from the cable company (Time Warner Spectrum) or the telephone company (Altafiber), so for that I had it easy. I cut the cord in 2013 and don’t have traditional cable TV service. Because of that, I didn’t have to worry about filters or whatever.Overall, so far, great product. I hope they last for a few years.

Technically fine
The device is technically fine, but I should have done more research about the type of cable I had, as that apparently makes a massive difference. My house has old cable from 05 and, while it technically works, it’s much slower than my WiFi because of the cable. When using a newer cable for testing, it did get full speed. So, it’s no good in this house… But, maybe I can put it to use in my next house. Who knows. Unfortunately, the builders made it fairly impossible to upgrade the existing cable without doing a ton of damage, so I’m stuck with it until my lease is up. Ended up just re-terminating all the phone jacks in the house to be Ethernet instead, and put a switch in the phone box in my closet. Long story short, do a lot of research before you order this. It matters.

Bought this to convert my office to Ethernet
My home builder only ran one ethernet line in the entire house, but wired up every bedroom with rg6 coax. I work from home and Wifi is a nightmare when you have every other device in your home fighting for bandwidth. I bought this to convert my coax to allow ethernet back to my low voltage panel where my internet router is.you need to buy a MoCa rated coax splitter as well.So you can future proof your other rooms. Then install one in the low voltage panel where it’s connected to an ethernet port on your router, and the coax is connected to the input on your coax splitter. The other goes into the room you want ethernet devices connected. Connect it to the wall coax, connect a gigabit ethernet switch (if you have more than one ethernet device like I do…typical nerd) and you’ll be off and running.If was very easy for me to install these devices, however be warned that the instructions are VERY sparse. You’ll be better off reading the reviews for this device here, than the manufacturers documentation.

It sorta worked, but not great, and not nearly as well as the ECB7250.
This seems to be a very old chipset, only supports maybe 3 bonding channels and doesn’t do nearly as well with a noisy environment as the ScreenBeam ECB7250 – which consistently connects at 3.5Gb PHY Rate in my specific case. These were only connecting at 2Gb and it was just ‘wacky’ slightly with 1Gbps Wifi is the best I can describe it. It ‘worked’ but not as well as it really should have for the price so back it goes.

Heck Yeah
Increased my internet speed by 2.5x. I replaced my Actiontec ECB6250s (1 gb) with these Hitron 2.5gb adaptors and my download speeds jumped from <300 mbs to >800 mbs with no other changes. Highly recommend. My only qualifierâ¦.itâs really hard to tell if these are using MPS.
