Ethernet Network Splitter

I bought a this modem and a matching nighthawk ethernet splitter. Now both my wireless internet and ethernet ports are lightning fast.

Long cord, plenty of connections, has ethernet, phone with splitter and coaxial. Best protection for the money.

I have 2 of these now. They allow me to connect up to 7 additional ethernet ports to my network. All is working as I expected.

I purchased the two-pack Actiontec Bonded MoCA Network Adapters after reading about them online. They are extremely simple to install. All you do is connect one to your tv cable and plug in you ethernet source and you're ready to go. You must have at least two adapters to complete the network. I installed the second one in our living room. This time I just connected the tv cable to the adapter and it was the ethernet source for my streaming devices. I was so satisfied with these adapters, I purchased the wi-fi extender with which I am equally pleased. I've gotten over 100 Mps with this wi-fi extender - unbelievable!! If you need a hard wire ethernet in your house, this is the simplest way to get one - using your existing cable tv lines. I decided to cut the cord on cable tv because my bill went up nearly $20 per month with no change in service. With this device, I am able to run OTA TV and streaming devices over my home tv cables and it's like magic. I definitely recommend this produce to anyone interested in a MoCA network.

This is the second receiver I have on their own network. Worked fine. Just plug up an ethernet switch and let the units talk to each other. No router needed for me. Might be buying another one of these critters to hookup to tvs.

Been using as Access Points (AP) for my home network. Using with a Ethernet backbone to get all of the wireless bandwidth for my devices. Setup is easy, and the GUI lets you see and manage everything on the system. From a router to AP it does it all. From 2.4, 5.0, and 6E all my devices can connect at high speed. Close to 1GB Ethernet speeds, but the throughput is slower. Small and easy to place around my house for the best coverage.

The MR2200ac is another very nice product from Synology.  This is integrated with my Synology RT2600ac router to be an access point to extend wi-fi coverage – mesh wi-fi.  Setup is almost automatic and took about 2 hours, unboxing to finished.  The documented instructions are a bit thin, but the bottom line is to follow the on-screen directions.  Starting at my main PC with the router and AP within sight, and logging into to the router’s web page, the router will discover the MR2200ac via wi-fi, handle all the network connections and updates (this took several minutes) and will establish the access point.  Then, connecting a CAT6 Ethernet cable to the MR2200ac’s WAN port, the router will think a bit and determine that the connection is now wired – Ethernet backhaul.  Checking the performance, full network speed is available between the router and AP.  At about this point, the router’s SRM operating system may realize that the versions differ between the units.  I was prompted to update, with a window to select the update file for each box from my local computer.  Sidetracking, I downloaded each .PAT file from Synology’s download site.  Click GO and the SRM will update in each box, taking another few minutes.  The final test was then to relocate the AP to another location (on a UPS for reliability), plug in the WAN to my network, and re-check the setup on the router’s SRM.  After some handshaking, all was well and I now have reliable 2.4 GHz and 5GHz coverage, with stronger signals and much faster speeds.  The Ethernet connection to the WAN port is through 2 switches to the router, with no speed loss.  Where I had 25%  ISP internet download speed with a medium to weak signal at 2.4 GHz (and unusable 5 GHz) with the router alone, I now have seamless 100% speed at 5GHz.  You may finder cheaper solutions, but the easy integration with the Synology RT2600ac adds a lot of value for me.

This is the way to go if you want to expand the bandwidth of your home network without running ethernet cable, and IMO is far superior to powerline adapters. They are truly plug and play, and require no setup at all once correctly connected to your router. My home was built with coax running to each room. I bought the 2 pack of these adapters to get more bandwidth for media streaming to my TV, and I am getting close to the advertised gigabit speeds. Just make sure you also buy a MOCA POE filter or else your data will travel out of your house into the cable network ... they are cheap so buy one and save yourself the headache. Also, these are not compatible with satellite TV .. only cable.

I recently needed to connect a tablet to my network via Ethernet, rather than WiFi. The tablet lacks an Ethernet jack, so I needed a USB-C device that would provide one; this docking station filled the bill, and I appreciate the other connectivity it offers at a reasonable price and small size.

Works flawlessly without any drop unlike Powerline Ethernet adapters. Just make sure to create a network using the adapters in 2-Pack first before adding(pairing) any other individual single pack MOCA adapters.
