ASUS 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax Adapter Starter Kit (MA-25 2 Pack), MoCA 2.5, High Speed Internet, Mesh backhaul, TV Streaming, MPS Security, Wall-mountable

I have been wanting to wire the house with Ethernet for quite some time, because I live in a neighborhood crowded with techies, and the WIFi space is incredibly jam packed. I have 1.4 Gbps Internet, but in practice, the WiFi solutions I have had, have not been able to even come close to that. I'd also like full bandwidth to the RAID array, and also between the computers, but WiFi can't deliver there either. The problem is that wiring the house with WiFi is super expensive and disruptive. This was the perfect solution! Almost every room in the house already has a cable outlet, so: done! Just plug this in, and you're ready to go! Okay, it wasn't _quite_ that easy. The cable modem that the cable provider had given us, had MoCA permanently on, and it was an older version of MoCA that jammed this one. So we had to figure that out, and then return the cable company's modem (opting instead to own our own). You also have to worry about interference with the outside world; the cable company's rep was nice enough to install a filter between us and them that blocks the frequencies used by MoCA. There also were some issues with splitters everywhere that the cable company rep helped us to get sorted out. I am still working on getting the full 2.5 Gbps inside the house (and I don't yet know where the bottlenecks are) but I do see the full 1.4 Gbps to the Internet from my MacBook Pro, so that's pretty good, and a wild improvement over the WiFi I was previously using. I am still 100% ogling the idea of 10 Gbps Ethernet throughout the house, but for now, this is installed and working, and that makes it excellent. The best networking solution is the one that you actually have installed and working, and for me, that's this right now.

I’ve already bought a second set. In the first one, one adapter worked reliably for the full 3-year warranty period, after which it quietly died. Even though the price is probably on the high side compared to competitors, I didn’t go for a cheaper option because I trust the Asus brand. I can’t really comment on maximum speed, my internet connection is 250 Mbps, which is more than enough for now, and it handles that without any issues. It connects to the network card at 1 Gbps. Since I’m quite curious, I took the old adapter apart. Actually, I’d say I pretty much tore it open, because the device is clearly designed so that no one ever takes it apart :)

We recently purchased a home with a metal building shop that is about 150’ from the house. Inside the shop, cell phone signal is non existent. I tried adding a mesh router in the shop but the metal building killed the reception from my base router. I found the previous owner of the house had buried coax from the house to the shop at some time in the past. It was coiled up in the crawl space of the house and looked like it was long forgotten. I purchased the Asus 2.5 GB ethernet over coax kit and thought I would give it a try. I installed one box on the house side of the coax and the other on the shop side of the coax. I then ran network CAT 6 cable from the box to my main router and connected another router to the box in the shop. I set up the router in the shop as a wired mesh node (Ethernet Backhaul) and the system works perfectly. I no longer miss calls with WiFi calling enabled on my phone. Internet at speeds are great. I stream ball games to a TV in the shop. Very satisfied with this product from Asus. Inexpensively solved my issue.

Now for the good part: Yes this works, and it works amazing. I haven't had any issue setting it up (plug-n-play) and it's quite fast. It was much much cheaper than trying to run Ethernet up to my room but in most cases that isn't true, carefully consider which path will be easier before buying. UPDATE: These are great for plug-n-play if you have only 2, if you want to add to your network it can be a real pain to figure out how to get it to work as the instructions really suck, turns out you gotta go to the host adapter hold it down for 5 seconds and then run over to the one you want to add and do the same, anything else and you'll probably have to start over. UPDATE 2: I just hit 900Mbps for the first time, so it seems they're probably not falsely advertised as I only have 1 gig internet and my router does not have a 2.5 gig port like my PC.

I purchased the MoCA adapters because of some huge loss of speed throughout my Mesh network. I have FRONTIER 2Gb/2Gb which is actually 2.38Gbps up and down. However, aside from my main gateway, the speed degrades significantly in many rooms throughout my 2 story house. ( I have Eero Pro 6E as main gateway provided by ISP and 3 more Eero Pro 6 throughout my house ). One of the rooms where I have my son’s gaming PC and some other equipment had one access point (Eero Pro 6) connected to a gigabit switch and the speed out of the switch (wired) was only 300 mbps on a good day and typically 200mbps (that’s close to 90% speed loss). I felt my money was wasted since I was actually using a fraction of my allocated bandwidth. I started with one pair of MoCA adapters the main one near my main router and the second in the aforementioned room. The speed out of the second MoCA adapter was found to be 2.2 gbps! So barely any speed loss. I added a couple more adapters, one next to each access point this way I am doing a wired backhaul through the mesh network. Wired speeds are awesome. Of course they are limited with network adapters which are occasionally capped at 1 gbps. Wireless speeds jumped from an average of 500mbps to anywhere between 700mbps to 1200mbps. Extremely satisfied. My theory is an average mesh + MoCA adapters will cost the same or maybe less than a premium Mesh but will have much better speeds overall.

It works great! Before buying the ASUS MoCA devices, I owned the goCoax MA2500D. I always had issues with it auto-negotiating down to 10Gb/s and could never achieve the full bandwith i was paying for (2Gb down). This device constantly holds a solid connection at 2.5Gb to my router and speed also holds around 2Gb down with the same cable (CAT 8). I would recommend it, it's very stable.

Works as advertised, plug and play, took me less than 10mins. I have both unused COAX and some type of CAT5 cable wired in my less than 20yr old house. Not wanting to risk possible non CAT5e cables and making life easiest, this got me “wired” quality gaming at the opposite corner of my house. I will purchase a second set for running second MESH network. Update 2025 added another one to back haul my Orbi. Two PCs hooked up to the Orbi running 1G and all my Ring cams are running smoothly, amazing product, plug and play!

Let me start by saying I don't normally write a lot of reviews and that I normally do like Asus products (I've had 3-4 of their routers in the past and have also had a few of their bluetooth adapters and have generally been pleased by their products). With that said, don't buy these Asus Moca Adapters if you already have an Asus Router. I wanted to install a second router on the other end of the house to act as a aimesh point with wired backhaul. I don't have ethernet throughout the house but I do have inactive coax lines since we no longer pay for cable and use all streaming services. I initially thought this worked great, relatively simple and solved my problem. We started to notice there were momentary blips in the wifi (where the wifi/internet disconnects and then reconnects 1-2 minutes later) it was not like a router restart when it takes 3-4 minutes to come back online but quicker 1-2 minute disconnects. I thought the 2nd router I had might be defective, I thought the splitters or cabling in the wall might be bad, I thought I might need moca filters installed somewhere along the line. The last thing I thought was that the moca adapter was bad since it always started up and was always fast to transmit/receive. After spending weeks trying another router, replacing splitters, coax and ethernet jumper cables, etc. the problem ended up being the moca adapter. I eventually found a couple obsure posts of reddit that stated similar problems. The problem seems to be that asus assigns these moca adapters the same default IP address as many of their internet routers. 168.192.50.1 so whenever you try to login to the router or do something with the router something must momentarily go haywire causing the momentary disconnect because of the multiple devices with the same IP. Some on reddit have solved the problem being manually changing the ip address of the router. I just bought Screenbeam moca adapters instead. I installed the Screenbeams this afternoon and 1/2 a day later everything works great and so far no blips and no disconnects. I think these Asus things were definitely my problem.

Worked right out of the box, will give you speed up to 2.5 with the correct setup. Make sure you have the right equipment. Love this and what it has done for my network.

Sólo los conectas y en segundos ya están funcionando perfecto

家のテレビ線を繋ぐところに繋げるだけで安易に設定可能。LANケーブルも同軸ケーブルも同梱していて非常に良い。他製品と比べて２割ほど高いので星4にしました。家でテレビ見ている人は電波についての知識も必要な部分があるため、その辺は勉強してからの購入が必要だなと思います。

Work a treat, but you need to buy a UK power supply as only comes with US 2-pin

I'm sure they are great and I will update my review after testing but I can't because I don't have the right power supplys!!
