Actiontec MoCA Ethernet over Coax Adapter Kit Review - ECB2500c

Buy it on Amazon - http://lon.tv/e46hw (affiliate link) My HDHomerun setup required that I connect all of my Windows Media Center Extenders and Xboxes to ethernet vs. wireless. Wireless just can't provide enough reliable bandwidth and I needed something wired. I tried powerline ethernet adapters, which generally work well, but they can't provide the bandwidth that my specific application required. Some viewers pointed me towards MoCA devices, which bridge traditional ethernet over coax cables used for cable television. The nice thing about the MoCA standard is that it allows for cable services to also co-exist on the same wire. Note that it will not work with satellite television. Once connected the devices work as advertised. In a 'real world' test I was seeing consistent 89 megabit speeds from one device to the other. My HDHomerun / Windows Media Center content played flawlessly and as nicely as it does over a traditional gigabit ethernet connection. Everything configures quickly out of the box without any need to do anything other than plugging it all in. The downside? The device is not configured to encrypt traffic between devices by default. Because the MoCA standard allows for multiple devices to run on the same network, it's possible somebody could plug one in on the same coax segment and gain access to the network without permission. Coax segments sometimes can go beyond the individual dwelling, so there are some concerns there. Actiontec does have a configuration option for adding passwords and encryption, but they discourage users from doing that - threatening a voided warranty if something is done incorrectly. And although the control panel is web based, it requires a windows application to access it. One other thing to note is that the backplane speed of the network over coax is 270 megabits across all devices. So it's possible to max out the Coax network with a lot of simultaneous video streaming/file transfers. If using multiple devices I'd suggest setting them up to operate on different frequencies to allow for more bandwidth. Beyond the security issues (that are addressable with a little effort) this is a very solid performing device that does work as advertised.
