ScreenBeam Bonded MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter for Highest Speed Internet, Ethernet Over Coax - Single Add-On Adapter for Existing MoCA Network (Model: ECB7250S02)

In my house, the UHF TV signal is distributed throughout the house by a 12 way distribution amplifier fed from a log periodic aerial in the loft. There is a restrictive covenant covering all houses on the estate that prohibits any aerials other than satellite dishes and these must be fitted below the roof line. My house is in a dip and out of sight of the transmitting aerial some 15 miles away. The signal can be intermittent and prone to distortion especially in certain weather conditions. To provide a good signal to the two main reception rooms I used an existing SkyQ satellite dish to receive Freesat satellite signals. This meant that the two coax cables from the distribution amplifier in these rooms are not needed. However, a consistent high speed network feed for streaming is essential. This led to a decision to unplug these coax cables from the distribution amplifier in the loft and connect them together so that there is a continuous coax cable between the lesser reception room which houses the FTTP (Fibre to the premise) broadband feed and the main reception room. They are 15m apart. Initially, I purchased the ScreenBeam starter pack of MoCA Network Adapters (ECB6250) and they were an immediate success. Installation is very simple and quick. I had the link working in ten minutes. I was so pleased with the setup that I then purchased an additional single adapter to connect the Office computers to the net. I replaced the coax cable connector in the loft with one of the splitters included with the kits and then connected the Office cable to the splitter. I was delighted with the results. The average of a series of Ookla broadband speed tests using the computer in the office returned a download speed of 941 Mbps and an upload speed of 110 Mbps. If you are interested in using these MoCA adapters I would suggest using F Type cable connectors throughout. In my setup, the coax cables to the distribution amp were already F Type and I replaced the face plates in the Reception rooms and Office with F type faceplates. Also you will need to purchase USA to GB plug adapters as the kits come from the USA. That said, service from the company via Amazon was outstanding and the units were delivered within days and update information was timely and informative.

Given the number of properties in the UK with coax distribution, this is an excellent way to link rooms together. Purchased the ECB7250 add-on to work with an existing ECB6250 starter kit pair. It's worth nothing that despite the manufacturer's table, this IS compatible with the ECB6250. The difference being that the ECB6250 has a 1Gbps ethernet port and the ECB7250 has a 2.5Gbps ethernet port. It's unlikely your network equipment will have a 2.5Gbps port (nothing I do has one) so it'll work at 1Gbps perfectly fine. In theory, the ECB6200 should also be compatible, even though the 6200 runs MoCA 2.0 and the xx50 models run MoCA 2.1 but as I don't have any 6200s I can't test. Other than that, the three devices now work perfectly and we've got three rooms connected.

As mentioned in title I cannot understand why this is not a product sold in the UK, except to let internet providers make money on us. I tried power line adaptor in the past but I had three issues with them (tried few brands) lost bandwidth, phone stay connected to other room until it loose signal and get new one. And doesn't work well with smart home devices as they ended up not seen depending on what adapter they are one. This adaptor is plugged in straight to my modem in my office, go in the attic via the existing coax cable made for the TV, and is then distributed back to the bedroom and living room on the ground floor opposite side of the office. A new adaptor on the other end of the coax, and the ethernet goes to a ethernet splitter. TV PS4 mesh router, Chromecast dongle, smart home gateway.. everything is plugged in as if it was on the office router. No loss of bandwidth. The only reason this product is not advertised in the UK is for providers to force more expensive services or cheap power line adaptor.

Had decent WiFi speed of around 300Mbps but now have a more stable speed of around 940Mbps. Obviously not as good as ethernet, and much more expensive but save lots of hassle. Another downside is the running cost since these are powered units consuming around 10 watts per pair when active and virtually nothing when idle. Nevertheless I'm happy with them.

good product wifi is good through these

Below is my original review… as I was so excited about how well this works. I am having stability issues and so need to get into troubleshooting. Basically the speed is fast, but unstable. So all is good unless I am using Zoom where I keep having dropouts. So hopefully I can report back soon with what the fix was. Until then my five stars is dropped one!?! … (Original review below) This works and blew my mind! I don’t often write reviews, but thought it good to share my experience with this one. First the negative - came with US power plugs so I needed to use adapters… the plugs work with 100v to 240v so basic adapters are all that is needed. Now the positive - I live in a massive old house with no way to get Ethernet cables to the third floor. The walls are thick. I found that there was some old coax cable in the walls. First I tested this on a table. It just worked. There is a light on each box to show the box has power, and then a light on each box to show the two boxes have found each other over the coax cable. Then I connected it to span a considerable distance and I am getting near gigabit speed (barely loosing anything). As far as I can tell Ethernet would be a little faster (Ethernet might get 920mb/s when this gets 900mb/s), so not by much. Also, in my setting, it adds a little to the ping (so it might be 15ms instead of 10ms). This is all from only about a half dozen tests so it could all be within a margin of error. Regardless it was super easy. It works well. If you have coax cable in an old house where you can’t run Ethernet I highly recommend this. This isn’t cheap but works well and came with a great array of extras in the box. The only thing it didn’t have (that I needed) was little adapters that go from wall plugs to the screw fitting on the end of coax cable, and the earlier mentioned US to UK power plug adapters. So if your wall fittings are not the screw on type you will need similar coax adapters, but may already have them.

This is a misleading product description. This only game with a single adapter, not 2 as mentioned... now I have to go through a lengthy return process because of an inaccurate product description. Do better.

if you are in UK and you have VIRGIN MEDIA broadband is not going to work..better keep spend your money on something else.. i was try it to work all day long,even i was speaking with an IT engineer..
