Hitron HTEM5 MoCA 2.5 Adapter Kit (2-Pack) | 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax | Multi-Gig Wired Backhaul for Mesh WiFi, Streaming & Gaming | Includes 2 Adapters, Coax & Ethernet Cables

Unfortunately these IP-Over-Coax products did not work in our install installation offering up slow transfer speeds. However technical support was very responsive and ended up deciding it must've been the existing fairly old coax infrastructure we were using that caused the problem. Upon further testing back at our test bench we were able to confirm they do indeed offer very close to gigabit transfer speeds. My suggestion is test them first, including running through the "pairing" procedure which sets up security essentially, before deploying in the field.

Used these to install a mesh unit backhaul line to my router - worked really well. Also purchased a couple of splitters to tap/split the coaxial lines where needed and installed these, and the whole system was up and running in no time (literally about 2 hours and taking my time doing it). If you're doing this type of project, also remember to install a filter (5-1005 MHz) where your coaxial comes into the house so you don't send your ethernet packets back over the coaxial to the neighborhood, and make sure your cable modem is DOCSIS 3.1.The only small nit that I have with these units is that there's no hole or hook point on the back of these units so I could hang it up on a back wall (or in a project box) so it was "out of the way". Not a big deal because there are other ways to get it mounted out of the way, but this is a well thought out product operationally speaking (sync's up well, plays well with routers, etc.), and putting a mounting/hanging point on the back should have been a no-brainer no-cost feature for a design engineer.In any case, highly recommend these.

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.

I had been using a different brand that worked, but it did not give me good speed. I have fiber-to-the-home so I was expecting high speeds and this gives me that.

Arrived fast, works well but did cause some issues with my spectrum DOCSIS3.1 modem until I changed some settings on the web interface. The web interface could use some polish but it is functional.

Solved my wired internet connection to my audio system where there is no RJ45 outlet but there is a tv coaxial outlet.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It was working very well.

Bought this to create a wired backhaul between Orbi router and 2 Orbi satellites. Did not work. System keeps disconnecting and even restaring on its own, both the Orbies and the moca adapters. Returned these and got Asus MA-25 instead. Asus is working as advertised, no issues.
