Going to deploy 2 moca 1.1 1gbps boxes to see if it goes up to 170mbps.

As promised the speed test transfer rate was 170mbps on the gigabit eth ports and 80mbps on the wl0 2.4ghz 802.11n port on the Actiontec MI424WR Rev I moca 1.1 boxes.

I'm getting some MOCA 2.0 adapters from the manufacturer for S$95 / pair. Anyone interested too? It's UK plug so no need adapter. Buying this weekend

https://www.amazon.com/Yitong-Techn...=UTF8&qid=1473770517&sr=8-4&keywords=moca+2.0

Hi, the listed price on Amazon seems much higher than S$95. Is the link correct? First time I have heard of Moca adaptors. I have a few questions regarding this, hope you can help to answer them.

I've just switched over from cable broadband to fibre. My old cable system has the wireless router setup in the room next to mine and the signal is pretty strong. The new fibre system's modem/ONT will be located in the living hall. If I were to put the wireless router at the same point, the signal in my room will likely be quite weak due to obstructions from a few walls. Can I use this Moca adaptor and route the signal from the modem/ONT to the wireless router in the same bedroom that is next to my room? That room has a coax point too.

Many thanks in advance for your reply.

Just replace your main cable spiltter with one that support up to 2000mhz.

Sorry, does it mean that I can use a pair of the Moca and connect my modem in the living room to the wireless router in a bedroom? Thanks.

If you know what you are doing....it should work flawlessly.

1 pair is never enough. U will want more.

Thanks. One pair should be enough as all my devices are wireless. The Yitong one seems good as it seems to have one input to be connected to our wall coax output while there's another output to connect to my starhub TV box which is still using coax. Can I assume internally there's a built in filter to isolate the TV signals from the Ethernet signals? Or do I still need an external filter?

I read some where that TV signals are operating below 1GHz while the Moca is operating above 1GHz. If I really do need an external filter, what type of filter do I need? Bandpass, high pass or low pass? It's to be added on the TV path or ethernet path? Can some kind soul point me to the right type to get based on their experience?

Thanks in advance.

You have to put the correct bypass filter in the riser BEFORE the main cable connect into your home. Otherwise you screw up all the Starhub cable broadband and Starthub TV signals in your block and Starhub will come after you.

I believed one will screw up his own TV signals before it leaks out into the riser.

Like what I say, Moca is way above Star hub frequency, unlikely will affect. And apply encryption to the Moca, no one can steal your data.

I think u really need to read more how to apply Moca in your home. No point for us to keep repeating in this thread.

As some of you may have waiting for my review on Yitong MoCA 2.0 (unbonded), here it goes:


The specs:



The packaging of this item isn't fanciful. But who cares, it's more important if it works.



Here are the items in the packaging, nicely laid on the floor. MoCAs 2.0 with red bubble wrap, qty 02 Coaxial cable ~40cm long each, qty 02 cat 5e cables ~60cm long each, qty 02 adapters (UK/SG plug) and a user manual



Closeup View of the product:


My Setup:



And now, here is my result on speed test. Just for your info ladies and gentlemen, I'm on Starhub Fibre 200:




It's unfair not to test its full potential, why not let it run wild ;) Lets connect my laptop to the router and run Lan speed test:




Prior to this I'm using homeplug; my speed suffers (Drop from 115 Mbps to 60+ Mbps) when my family members turn on their electrical appliances. But for MoCA 2.0, I'm able to get smooth horizontal straight line download graph. The pings are quite consistent, maintaining between 3-4ms, which conforms to what is stated in MoCA website. (Ignore the 5ms as it pings a little high during the speed test)

Reference to the above Lan Test, the adapters can achieve download speed of 425Mbps, which exceeded the Throughput (MAC data rate) declared by the manufacturer.

Well, for now, I could say that Yitong delivers lesser speed (75Mbps off) but at a much lower price as compared to Actiontec's ECB6000. Additionally, it comes with in/out coaxial to connect in series with your TV, which Actiontec ECB6000 is lacking of.

Base on manufacturer specs, the TV signal is allowed to pass through YiTong Moca.

Check your riser to see if you have a splitter that has a low pass (5-1000mhz ) fliter in-built. If none, you have to buy a filter

Thanks for the reply. I got a feeling my riser is locked when I checked some time back. Anyway, the Starhub guys will be coming tomorrow to install the fibre modem and wireless router, will ask if they can open the riser for me to take a look. I doubt the splitter will have a built in filter. RF splitters are usually quite wide band even though they are rated to operate in a smaller band. If I can access the riser, I will try to check if the Moca freq will leak into the Starhub lines in future.

One last thing. Mind sharing where you got the Yitong adapters from at S$95 a pair? Thanks.

If it's locked, means it's government controlled. The operator may not be able to open it also - need to get BSC to open. Otherwise u can check your in-home Coax entry. How is it anyway?

I don't get your question on how I get the Yitong adapters as I just got it from Yitong (the manufacturer)?

Can you share the link to the Yitong manufacturer site to purchase the item? I can only find the Moca adapters on alibaba and they don't sell in small quantity.

Thanks.
