MoCA really doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Everybody always thinks if WiFi repeaters, or Ethernet over power line but MoCA is much faster and more reliable than either of them!

It’s perfect for apartments that have cabletv jacks in every room. Just make sure you are using the appropriate wideband splitters and have a filter at the cable demarcation in your dwelling.

The problem I’ve found with moca is that every time I’ve tried it (3x now), there’s always something going on behind the walls that ends up completely ruining it. Someone put filters or splitters in, or something to that extent, and it turns out there’s insane packet loss or sub MB speed or it just doesn’t work for some reason.

I've been happily using the laughably cheap Direct-TV Deca adapters for years now to get 100Mbps ethernet to my detached garage (where of course the previous owners needed coax TV :P), for my smart garage door, wyze cam, and streaming music while mowing. Works like a charm for $20!

MoCA is really expensive. You're better off just hiring someone to wire the house up. Id

How cheap are electricians where you live? MoCA adapters are around $50/each where electricians are around $200 just to visit + hourly and materials (US, west coast). That's a lot of MoCA devices.
