MoCA Adapter and 3 Gigabit Internet Bottleneck
I have a question regarding the MoCA adapter that is part of my new, 3 Gigabit Internet setup. Initially, when the tech came and setup my 3 Gigabit Internet, what they called the HUB was installed in my basement and then hooked up to coax which was then run up into my office as I don't have ethernet cable running out the way. The coax was hooked directly from the wall into my Booster 6, and then connected from the purple port from the Booster 6 directly into my workstation via ethernet. I was seeing download speeds of just shy of 2.5 Gbps which is the limit on my ethernet card. However, as my office is far to one side of my house, the tech advised to run ethernet into a more central location and hook the Booster 6 up directly into the 10GB port on the HUB to the Booster 6 unit. I've done this now (although hit a speed bottleneck going to the Booster 6 due to (according to another tech) an old ethernet cord I'm waiting on a replacement for). But to boost speeds in my office, the tech setup a ECB6250 MoCA Network Adapter. This connects via the same coaxial output on the HUB that I had used to connect the Booster 6. However, despite the ECB6250 being capable of 2.5 Gbps as described on the manufacturers site, I'm only achieving speeds on my workstation of 940 Mbps which is far shy of the 2.5 Gbps when the coax was connected to the Booster 6. The tech at the time suggested the MoCA was only capable of of 1 Gbps and that I could buy my own, upgraded MoCA network adapter, but I'm hesitant as this model should be capable of those speeds. What am I missing? Is there a setting somewhere in my HUB or MoCA I need to change? As a note, all network adapters on my workstation are current, and MoCA firmware has been updated. Appreciate any thoughts!Solved1.9KViews0likes5Comments
