Features:

  • The MM1000 MoCA Adapter uses a home’s coaxial cable wiring to create a fast, reliable Ethernet connection between a router and any device with an Ethernet port. With speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, Bonded MoCA 2.0 beats wireless for speed, latency, reliability, and security.
  • Transmits over the same coax cables as your cable TV or fiber-optic service, with no interference. Does not work with: Direct TV, Dish or other satellite TV, AT&T Internet, and AT&T U-verse coax networks.
  • A Point of Entry (PoE) filter is included to prevent unauthorized access to your MoCA network and protect network security.
  • You need MoCA capability built into your router or provided to the router by a MoCA Adapter. Most FiOS routers have MoCA capability, but most other routers and modem/routers need a MoCA Adapter. You need a MoCA Adapter for each device you want to connect back to the router using MoCA. You can connect up to 16 devices back to your router using MoCA.
  • Easy plug-in setup, with no need for configuring the MoCA Adapter or re-configuring your router. Friendly, professional USA customer support and 2 year warranty.
TiVo Security Compatible!

I purchased two of these for my home network, which also includes three TiVos using MoCA 1.1. The TiVos are MoCA 1.1, while the new Motorola devices are MoCA 2.0. To my delight, the Motorola devices were able to communicate just fine with the TiVos. I was initially concerned that I might need to turn off the TiVo MoCA encryption, because it was not obvious the Motorola boxes supported any encryption, much less the same encryption that the TiVos used. Fortunately, there is no cause for concern. If you Google "Motorola MoCA Encryption", you will find a page that describes how to configure the Motorola boxes to do encryption. And glory be, this encryption method is compatible with the encryption that TiVo uses. I found that when I entered the same 14 digit key into both the TiVo and the MM1000, they were immediately able to communicate. I have a TiVo Bolt, a Roamio, and a couple Minis; no problem with any of them. Encryption is a new feature in the MM1000, and may require a firmware update before you can use it. Look carefully in the Motorola instructions (see the same page I referenced above) and you will find a link to the new firmware. I did bandwidth testing in several configurations. With two units back-to-back, I got a full unidirectional 1 Gb/s between two computers using iperf3. (To download this free open source benchmarking tool, Google "iperf3") Running bidirectional, bandwidth drops to about 520 Mbps, as you would expect. Plugging it into a Comcast network, unidirectional bandwidth dropped to 730 Mbps, apparently because Comcast cable is using some of the same frequencies. Connected to a TiVo in MoCA bridge mode (so it was limited to MoCA 1.1 by the TiVo) I got about 130 Mbps unidirectional. It's recommended with MoCA 2.0 that you use only 2 GHz splitters. I tested first with the existing splitters in my home, which were fairly new 1 GHz splitters. Then I installed 2.3 GHz splitters, and tested again. With the 1 GHz splitters I got about 700 Mbps, while with the 2 GHz splitters I got 730 Mbps. Not a big difference, obviously. Firmware updates and configuration changes are done by plugging a computer into the Ethernet port, and accessing the device at the fixed address 192.168.0.2. This means you can't configure while two MM1000 devices are plugged into the same network, since they have the same address. You will need to unplug the COAX before doing the config. This caveat aside, the devices are easy to update and configure with every browser I tried. There is a setting to change the frequencies used by the MM1000, but I could find no documentation on this, so I left it alone. Also I was concerned that it might make the devices incompatible with my TiVos, and I wanted to avoid that. It's possible that by changing the frequencies used, I might have avoided the Comcast broadcast range, and boosted the bandwidth. The MM1000 comes with a Point-of-Entry (POE) filter. A POE filter should always be installed between your home MoCA network and the outside world. The filter eliminates noise from outside, and also insures privacy inside. If two homes are connected to the same COAX network at the junction box (as they are with Comcast) there can be communication between them. This means your neighbors may be able to see and access your computers as if everything were plugged together. It's also possible that a hacker could put a concealed listening device on the cable outside your home, and use it to hack the computers inside. You can prevent all of this by (1) installing the POE filter or (2) configuring encryption in your MM1000. I'm kind of a paranoid guy, so I did both.

MOCA 2.0 for up to 1000Mbps

Short comment: works great! Long comment: My requirements were (a) point (downstairs room) to point (upstairs room) Coax segment to connect ISP wifi gateway with 10/100/1000 ports and dlink wifi router with 10/100/1000 ports, (b) with approx 50-75 feet length combined from two RG6 coax cables, (20-yr old home, btw, and length/cable type impacts signal budget for the adapters) (c) no cable TV or ota frequencies conflicts at this time or any other device, and (d) 1000Mbps bidirectional at upstairs point... since my internet is FTTH at downstairs point with ISP plan 1000Mbps upstream/downstream. Setup: No splitters used (since point-to-point) but may add if needing additional Moca segments to other rooms. Set up was as easy as 1-2-3, ie., (1) plugging power, (2) connect Ethernet cable (gateway/router to Moca adapter) and (3) connect coax (ignored device port). Test: - desktop PC with 1000Mbps NIC, of course, connected to dlink router via wired. - verified dlink router settings (remove any NAT since already in ISP gateway, or QoS, etc, to avoid slowing down by additional packet processing) - used my ISP's speed test page - get almost 850-950Mbps (multiple attempts) for upstream/downstream, ie., Same as downstairs point. Conclusion: MOCA 2.0 adapters from Motorola works great. Caveats: limited time use (1 week), limited to point-to-point and Ethernet only (no cable/ota/splitters, etc).

Finally fix my internet problem?

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical cause I have tried so many cable and WiFi boxes to try to improve my internet service I had figured it out with optimum, but now I have Fios , and now I have this issue again due to the router box from fios the new G-1100 keeps dropping every once in a while , I had to try and figure what the hell is going on , went into YouTube and found out that I’m not the only one having this problem with fios router box . As I was trying to find a simple fix or was I doing something wrong , that’s when I found this product from Motorola which to be honest im so happy with with the results that I couldn’t contain my self I had to write this , trust me if your having problems with your cable WiFi or ur internet this product works like magic trust me just follow the very simple instructions as I did and you’ll be amazed of how simple and how awesome it works I’m so happy I purchased this product from Motorola MoCa adapter 5 stars

The easy way to replace your cheap Verizon FiOS router with your own router

Finally I'm able to completely get rid of the cheap Verizon FiOS router, and still have fully functional electronic program guide and video on demand on my Verizon set top box. Here's how I did it.... 1. Buy any router of your choosing.... I personally am using the ASUS AC-3200 If you've got Gigabit, you need a high performance router 2. Buy this simple and inexpensive Motorola MOCA Adapter Model MM1000 3. Plug the ethernet cable from your FiOS ONT into the WAN port of the router 4. Plug an ethernet cable from any of the LAN ports on the router into the LAN port on the Motorola MOCA adapter 5. Plug the Cable TV Coax coming from the Verizon ONT into the cable connector marked NETWORK on the back of the Motorola MOCA adapter. 6. Plug the Cable TV coax coming from your set top box into the cable connector marked DEVICE on the back of the Motorola MOCA adapter. 7. Power everything up.... 8. Throw out your old cheap Verizon FiOS router... you don't need it anymore. That's it.... The MOCA adapter converts the ethernet signal to MOCA and connects the set top box to the network, your router will serve an IP address to your set top box automatically. No complicated bridge mode, and no cheap Verizon router in the mix at all. I'm using this setup myself right now, and I can confirm 100% it works flawlessly.

Incredible technology by Moca!

Ok, I am going to try to be short, but it will be hard, since there is a lot to tell about Moca and the Motorola version of it. The intro story: When I originally bought the house close to 4 years ago, sadly I discovered that all the cat5e cables are somehow untraceable, the previous owner finished the basement and the contractor never bothered to install a box for the network, so where are all the cables coming through, is still a mystery. By pure luck I was at least able to track down the coaxial and signed a contract for internet and cable, but I could never get steady or speedy enough connection to my office, which is on the far top, opposite side of the house. I decided to try Moca version 1 at the time and with the combination of Comcast cable, the Moca never worked correctly, so I gave up on it and decided to run Cat5e cables outside of the house to the point of the router. That worked well, at least for a while, but still I couldn't max my connection speed and with the time it deteriorate even further. I cut the cord almost 2 years ago and the coaxial cables are just sitting without being used in my house, so again I decided to give Moca 2 a try and since there is no more Comcast cable, it worked out immediately and is amazing, The installation and pairing was extremely easy and fast, just plug and connect that is it, nothing much to it. The internet speed is the same as I am connected directly to the router and the speed between my computers and home server is 5 tp 10 times faster, for example moving large files peaks over 100mb/s! All in all, money well spent, probably the best tech purchase for me this year, went with Motorola since their devices are cheaper than the competitors. So far I am extremely satisfied, I don't need the external cable anymore and will be removing it, Moca all the way!

Fast, stable, and at a great price to boot!

I was patiently waiting for MOCA 2.5 adapters to hit the market - I have a room in the house that is coaxial only and a gigabit fiber link from AT&T - but at this price point I just couldn't wait another 6 months to pay possibly double for just a little extra bandwidth. These puppies are quick! See attached speed tests. I'm within 100 Mbps of the theoretical max of 940 Mbps, so the overhead isn't too significant, and it's a fairly huge step up from wireless (I have a Unifi HD enterprise-grade router, so I was already trying to maximize my wireless connection). My set-up is this: Internet source is in an upstairs utility closet (the AT&T residential gateway), ethernet cable to an 8-port Belkin switch, one of those ports plugs into MOCA adapter #1, I'm estimating a roughly 35-40 foot run of dedicated RG-6 cable (no splitters, no other services running on it), MOCA adapter #2, 15 feet of ethernet cable to another 8-port switch, then connected to multiple devices. Not bad for $120 - saved me a weekend headache of pulling CAT6 cable through the house and probably breaking something. So far, so good, one week running with no issues.

It's great and easy to install.

I have gigabit internet and my wifi devices were not getting the speeds I was paying for. So I go those mesh routers and that really improved. Then I read I could boost their performance wiring everything together. So I got powerline; powerline is a joke. I get 100 mbps if I'm lucky. So I said screw it, lets run the ethernet. I looked at my home plans, etc. but end of the day I wanted to see if there was anything I could do first because opening up my walls to run ethernet is time consuming, messy, and expensive. So enter this great adapter. I have a lot of coaxial cabling and there is a jack in every room. All the lines run to the electrical box in my basement, so no splitters. I bought a 4 way splitter (which has 1 input and 4 outputs) and plugged all these units together. I tested wired connection from each location of my home and I'm getting consistent 95 MB/s throughput. This is around 800 mbps which is incredible. Now all my AC1xxx wifi devices actually run at close to gigabit speeds. I had a desktop computer in bedroom it was struggling with wifi, now that's got a wired connection at close to gigabit speeds. I got a 5 port switch, plugged it into the moca adapter and my TV, Xbox, Apple TV, blu-ray player all have reliable wired connections to my router. I am very happy with this product.

Compatible with Actiontec MOCA adapters

** update April 6, 2018 ** Bought a second one. Even though item was supposed to have been new, it looked like the box had been opened before. When I opened it, there wasn't even an adapter in the box. It had the yellow Ethernet cable, which had clearly been used, and a coax cable that also has been used (let alone it wasn't even the type of coax that is supplied normally. The idiot who returned the package included a 1 ft cable company coax that he must have had sitting around). Again, no adapter in there. The thief just kept it. Amazon refunded my money, no questions asked. ----------------------------------- I bought one of these to replace an Actiontec ECB6000 non-bonded unit that was requiring a power reset anywhere between 3 and 6 times a day. It had worked well for almost two years and then suddenly started flaking out. This Motorola MoCA adapter was able to sync to my main ECB6200 bonded unit with absolutely zero problems and did so almost instantly. It's an attractive little unit as well. A little less utilitarian looking than the Actiontec units. Given other reports of the Actiontec MoCA units losing sync, I'd give the Motorola units a shot. They are cheaper as well.

Excellent MoCA, Simple Install, Everything Included, Plug & Play, Fast/Reliable Connection

I'm very pleased with the MM1000 MoCA adapter by Motorola. Easy installation and reliability are my main priorities in my IT practice. This gen 2 MoCA lets my clients have a fast and reliable connection using the existing cable TV wiring in their building: a lot less expensive than running more cables. In the box is the unit, power adapter, coax patch cable, 3ft CAT5e cable, install guide/support sheet, a wrench for tightening the F-Connectors, 2 screws for mounting and a PoE Blocker (Point of Entry, not Power over Ethernet) to be installed at the CATV entry to the building to so the MoCA signal does not leak out to nearby buildings. Setup is so simple! get AC power to the unit, place the MoCA unit in-line between equipment and the cable system, use the Ethernet port to connect to end devices and connect one to the router or firewall. Very quick and easy. One note: there is a push-button for power on the back and I accidently turned off the power when putting it in place. Remember to check the power button if you install and don't get any lights. It's pretty easy to press accidentally. While many uses will have only 2 MoCA adapters, you are not limited so limited. You can directly support up to 8 units. These are also compatible with other MoCA adapters like those from Actiontec, a FIOS router or MoCA capable TIVO box. This compatibility can help reducing wiring clutter. The speed between devices is, of course, limited to the speed of the slowest of the devices. NOTE: there is a firmware update you can download from Motorola to add support for a programmable security key for more secure encryption. The default IP for the device web interface is at 192.168.0.2. This MoCA adapter from Motorola is excellent. It is super simple to install and setup, but offers advanced features (like programmable security key) if needed. The connections I've set up are fast and reliable. And best of all for me is a record of zero call-backs since I switched to these adapters. If that's not 5 stars I'm not sure what is. I'm very pleased indeed.

Great performance at it's price point.

I purchased 3 of these to provide my home network with a faster backbone than what I already had. As with most people who would purchase these, I don't have ethernet wired in my house and wanted a cheaper alternative to having that done. I currently have Verizon Fios (75/75) and had been using MoCA with the provided Actiontec wireless router. We had recently kind of cut the cord (I'll explain later) and with the addition of several Google homes and other technology I could see the network slowing down. My router is currently leasing addresses for 35 different devices so I felt it was time to revist my networks layout. I was previously considering the Actiontec solution but opted for the Motorola's because of the price point. The MoCA adapters worked great! Easy to setup with a stable and consistant connection so far. Along with all of the wireless devices we also use an HD Homerun Prime along with a Basic TV package from Verizon (only $10 extra a month with alot more channels than just locals). With all three tuners being used at the same time, the network was lagging. With the MM1000 in place I am now able to stream all three tuners without impacting other services. Awesome! As an added benefit, I am now able to fully realize the bandwidth from Verizon from any device in the house. As part of the network upgrade I also had Verizon provision the Ethernet port on the ONT. So it's Gig into the MM1000 from the ONT rather than continuing to use the Coax (MoCA) from the ONT. Because pictures are worth more than I'm willing to type, I attached some pictures that show the intall, network and results. UPDATE: Coming up on almost a year of use with now issues. All three units have worked flawlessly. I haven't had to reboot any of the units in that time although they have been inadvertently rebooted due to power outages. They did recover without any issues. I did update all three units to the latest firmware but that was only to add security. I have since upgraded my wireless router, going from a single unit on the second floor, to two units. One on the first floor and one on the second floor. This was not one of the mesh solutions but rather two seperate access points plugged directly into the MoCA adpaters on each floor. I did update my network diagram to reflect the change and to show that a single coax connection was going into each of the MoCA adapters. I still recommend the product for those that don’t have wired ethernet in your home but would like comparable speeds.
