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
Slow Moca w/ T3200m ?
Hello, I have a MOCA adapter connected to my t3200m and it's getting roughly 200Mbit/s, however I have a gigabit plan. I was wondering if the t3200m is Moca 1.0 or 2.0? The 200Mbit I'm getting would seem to line up with 1.0. It's an older house and the ancient coax probably isn't doing me any favors. I guess my next step is to run some sort of test with a very short / brand new coax cable and see what that provides. Is there anything else I could try? The encryption (privacy?) setting on the t3200m is off and the channel is set to auto. Thanks!3.5KViews0likes2Comments
