About goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet Port
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
87% liked the compact and durable design, but 13% found it flimsy
I occasionally notice that my 2.5 gig model negotiates to 100 megabit with my Trendnet switches, which may be a quality issue with the product.

92% praised the connectivity, but 8% experienced issues
I had an issue with the adapters causing instability and intermittent connectivity, but it was not the fault of the adapters. The issue was caused by a compromised coaxial run and when this line had a MoCA adapter hooked up, it caused other MoCA adapters to intermittently cut out. Once this run was eliminated from the network, everything worked perfectly.
The 2.5GbE Ethernet port is a notable feature that offers high-speed data transfer, perfect for streaming, gaming, or heavy internet usage.
When they work, powerline-network-adapters work well.
It was difficult for me to connect the powerline-network-adapter behind the living room TV on the first floor, as all my network connections are on the second floor.

94% found it easy to set up and install
I set up the powerline-network-adapters and had a stable, fast, low/no latency connection over coax in around 10 minutes.
The installation was simple and it worked right out of the box with our existing Motorola MoCA network that has a mixture of MoCA 2.0 and MoCA 2.5.
I find this product useful for extending ethernet to a room where there is no other option other than coax.
95% found the network speed to be fast and reliable
The network speed of powerline-network-adapters is around 850Mbps between hosts on my LAN, while my 1Gbps ethernet line speed w/ cat6 is 940Mbps.
I achieved a speed of 45/75 MBps without making any changes, which is close to the designed speed of 110/110 MBps.
96% praised the extended range and coverage
By connecting the furthest mesh to the moca, I improved the gigabit speeds from the furthest devices.
I was able to achieve a speed of 45/75 MBps on a line which is 110/110 MBps by design without making any changes.
