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

Amazing product I had a cheaper version and different brand and the connectivity wasn’t as fast and would drop frequently. These are very fast and connection has not dropped since I installed them.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have an older home and was looking for a way to create a wired network between the router in the basement and my devices on the 2nd floor without running cables. I have a mesh network, but the upstairs computers were only getting 1/4 to 1/3 of my Internet bandwidth due to losses over the air. I cut the cord a few years ago, and have unused coaxial cable running all through the house, so the ASUS 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax Adapter Starter Kit is exactly what I needed. Once I connected them and wired the computers, I was gettting full use of my Internet bandwidth. Another advantage is that I was able to connect the mesh satellite points to Ethernet to create a wired backhaul, which greatly improved the Wi-Fi speeds for mobile devices on the 2nd floor. Installation was straightforward - just collect each one to coax and Ethernet, power them up, and they should work since the starter kit's units are already paired. The hardest part was figuring out which of the coax cables in the junction box went to which room - if I had a cable tester with tone and probe it would have been simple. The system is also expandable - you can add up to 16 nodes. I added a third node to get wired internet into another room. I will note that you have to pair the new node with your network, which requires pushing the security button on one device and then going to the other to push its security button. If you miss the timing, the devices don't pair and you have to do it again. If you do add another node, I would suggest having a second person available to press one of the buttons. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1. the MoCA adapters communicate using high-frequency signals (greater than 1,125 MHz) so you need to check the frequency rating on any splitters that will be in the signal path to ensure they can pass the signal. 2. If you have an active cable TV/Internet connection, you want to look into getting a Point of Entry (POE) filter. This will prevent your devices from communicating with nearby devices outside of your home. 3. The lights on the units are rather bright, so if you are putting it in a bedroom you may want to find a place where it will be out of sight or install it so the lights face the wall. If you are looking for a way to expand your wired network in your home, the ASUS 2.5Gbps Ethernet Over Coax Adapter Starter Kit is a good option.

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

Sólo los conectas y en segundos ya están funcionando perfecto

Brilliant kit. Took a week to deliver. Low power usage and only needing a US to UK plug adapter. Runs through the Ariel cable in the walls that are unused. As you can see below. Before and after with the test results. Really simple to install and setup. Great for WiFi backhaul etc or simply extending your network where Ethernet isn’t viable. Can also add splitters to extend to other areas of the home. Simply connect one to your router & Ariel point (mine was my living room). Then one the other end of that line where you want it to reach (mine was my bedroom) with another unit on that sides Ariel connection. And repeat if you have other Ariel drops. Mine ran from the living room up into the attic with a splitter connecting the cables there then down into my main bedroom. So as long as the cables connected point a>b your all good. Have had 0 range problems or drop outs. Helping me max my connection upstairs. Well worth the money for what it does. And much cheaper than trying to run cables. As said mileage may vary between users. With the quality of your coax cable. My home was under 5 year old so relatively new. Can add maybe 4/5ms of ping due to the change over of “technology” but as seen on the results it’s still relatively low.

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。

I wanted to create a home network but installing ethernet cables from my living room into the loft space was going to be expensive. I came across this technology by accident and I realised that the house had 3 coax cables pre-installed for ariel tv and satellite dishes that we never used. I now have very near my full 500Mbs from the living room into a splitter in the loft and down 15m patch cables dropping into my home office. Brilliant equipment, it's a shame it's not more easily available in the UK.
