In this video we setup and review the goCoax WF-803M MoCA adapter. This device allows you to send up to 2.5Gbps over a coax connection. Why is this interesting? Suppose you have coaxial cable run through your house like many people do. Instead of having to run Cat 6 through your walls, you can hard wire your rooms using the existing coax cable. This is especially helpful for older homes that it might be difficult to fish cables through the walls.

This is so concise! I also respect the PiHole or whatever you are doing to DNS add on speedtest LOL
Increase the threads in your iperf test. Seems it’s limited to 350mbps per thread.
I just discovered how cheap some of the GoCoax Frontier devices for $30 1gbps and this video was super helpful.
I can't believe people don't talk about this more. I've been researching installing Ethernet into my house because my house is very long and skinny and the wifi router has to be placed at the front end, leaving the back of my house as a dead zone. This helps me out so much. I'm glad I stumbled onto this video because of course every room in my house has coax basically
Thank you for sharing! This is good stuff!
Vote up, thanks for sharing the video 🙂
Hey this was an awesome video! I’ve got my mocas set up and talking with each other but plugging the Ethernet into my Mac does nothing…I’ve got no internet. It was working when it was plugged into my Xbox. What am I missing? Thanks!
Finally who mentions what filter one needs
Very good video, quick question I have cable lines; however, I don't have cable TV. Would the MOCA still work without cable TV? So basically you would completely remove the modem and just have a router to the other moca and PC. Thanks in advance
Try using parallel sessions with iperf, it may be a limitation of the latency that's introduced by these units per TCP flow
At 15:42 you asked if it strips VLANs. I have tested Actiontec 2.5 (same MoCA 2.5 standard) and I can state that it doesn't strip VLANs, just connected a UniFi AP to the MoCA bridge and all my wireless networks (on separate VLANs) work perfectly well.
My splitter is outside on side of my house and modem and router is inside the house. How do I solve to connect 2 moca adapters to my living room where are TV and streaming players?
Great job! I'm SOOO sick of my powerline ethernet to my Google Mesh point being complete garbage. I've been wanting MOCA for more than a decade. I'm gonna rip that powerline adaptor out of my network very soon!
Every setup guide was on the confusing side. They tended to say that you should plug your coax into your modem and ethernet on the router, but based on your description, it seems like you need the ethernet connected and then the coax is connected to a splitter somewhere. I have already tried my coax setup and encountered not having any connection even when I confirmed the MoCA adapters can properly communicate if directly connected. Hopefully this new method works.
I want to use it as backhaul to wifi extender to other side of the house I have Verizon FiOS gigabit can I use moca as an Ethernet out from a router to extended if I use 2 moca
I have to say your hook up configuration is the first I've seen like that. Maybe that accounts for the 300Mbit/s readings. All other videos, etc. I've watched, as well as manuals recommend connecting each MoCA device directly to the cable Coax outlet/jack from the wall, not in series like you've done. Each time they've gotten 940Mbit/s+ readings.
Someone was complaining on reddit about getting asymmetric speeds with the download bandwidth being cut in half, similar to this test. They did get full speed with multi-threaded iperf, but not single-threaded. They were using Actiontec, then replaced it with a Motorola and got full speeds up and down. So… maybe try the Motorola one and see if you get full speeds.
this video is exactly what im looking for, running iperf, and not someone who just run speedtest, awesome video
See the new moca 2.5 device, with also a 2.5 gbit ethernet port, https://transliteglobal.com/product/tl-mc85-moca-2-5-network-adaptor/
As you can get internet download near 1Gbps, i'm pretty sure you can also transfer a huge file from one PC to the other at >100MB/s. Something must be wrong with your iperf. Nice video and thanks.
This is by far the best video on the subject, and I will absolutely be doing this to my house now. Thank you!
I found a reddit thread that explained the ~300 Mbits/s range.
"iperf3 -c <IP> [with results] 345 mpbs / Here I'm just doing the default iperf thing. The result isn't unexpected. MoCA adds some latency (4ms) that causes iperf's default TCP handling to max out in the 300's."
"iperf3 -c <ip> -P 5 [with results] 930 mbps / Here I tell iperf to use TCP but with 5 parallel streams so that the added MoCA latency does not limit the results. Obviously I'm seeing great results with this test."
