Actiontec's Coax Network Adapter uses the existing coax wiring in a home or office to create a fast Ethernet network. Designed specifically for homes with cable TV, this adapter can handle consistent speeds up to 270Mbps, perfect for networking and connecting your home theater to the Internet. Connect any device that has an Ethernet or LAN port, including Blu-ray, Xbox 360, PS3, TiVo, computers and more. The adapter eliminates the need for rewiring or settling for less consistent wireless solutions. The ECB2500C does not support homes with satellite TV.
Actiontec Electronics ECB2500C Ethernet to Coax MoCA Adapter
The MoCA Network Adapter is a high-speed bridge that takes your coaxial network and, in conjunction with a router, delivers Ethernet networking access anywhere you have a coaxial port. Most of the leading broadband companies rely on coaxial networks in the home (network over a cable connection) because it is very fast and extremely reliable. Actiontec's ECB2500C MoCA adapter uses the latest technology to provide you with flawless performance for your most demanding connected devices at an aggressive price point.
Note: This is a single adapter solution for Verizon FiOS users and users who already have one MoCA adapter installed. Most users will need the ECB2500C MoCA Adapter Kit which includes two adapters.*
Powerful Performance
The ECB2500C MoCA adapter delivers a strong and stable connection (up to 270Mbps**) that will allow you to experience silky-smooth streaming HD video without the lags and buffering associated with lower performance connections. The product supports QOS to manage your bandwidth, ensuring critical applications like video streaming get allocated the priority bandwidth.
Secure to Protect Your Privacy
The ECB2500C MoCA adapter is hardware encrypted to protect your privacy. Users can also set up a password for restricted access.
Easy to Set Up and Easy to Use
The ECB2500C MoCA adapter plugs into your current cable TV (coaxial) connections, giving you flexibility in where to connect, and eliminating the need for long cable pulls. It supports any Ethernet network-connected device, including cable boxes, Verizon FiOS, DVRs, Blu-ray players, DVD players, PlayStation PS3s, Xbox 360s, TiVos, PCs and more. (Satellite boxes are not supported.)
To set up the ECB2500C, just follow the four simple steps below:
STEP 1: Plug an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the adapter, and into an Ethernet port of the device to be connected to the network. STEP 2: Plug a coaxial cable into the coax "in" port of the adapter, and into the coax wall port nearest to the device to be connected to the network. STEP 3: Plug the power cable into the Power port on the back of the adapter, and into an electrical wall socket. STEP 4: Make sure the coax and Ethernet lights on the adapter are both illuminated solid green.

* This single adapter SKU is a solution for:
1) Verizon FiOS users, who already have MoCA built-in on their BHR router. In order to connect a device to the router, they would only need one ECB2500C adapter. The user should not connect anything to the TV-Out Coaxial connector on the adapter.
2) Users who already have at least one MoCA adapter installed.
** Actual data rates for all networking products are affected by a number of factors, including the load on the network and distance from the source connection. Optimum speeds may not be realized.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Turns your home coax cables into ethernet cables, on the same coax as your cable service!
Turns your home coax wiring into great ethernet cables with your router, and they work on the same coax as your cable service!
Just installed this past week (Late July 2012), and the Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter for Homes with Cable TV Service (ECB2500C) works great in my home with Comcast service (St Paul, MN) on the same coax line.
If you need fast stable ethernet connections, and you can't run wired ethernet Cat6e, and you have access to coax, then these are "must have" network enabling devices for Home TV/Media setups! Netflix/Hulu Plus streaming is fast on my devices, and transferring shows on my two Tivo Premieres is as fast as standard wired ethernet (given the bottleneck is reduced down to the Tivo's themselves, and not the wiring).
I speedtested and compared the bandwidth on my laptop between the best areas of wifi in my house and this directly connected to the MOCA adapter on the other end. With WiFi "N" I am getting 15Mbps Down /...

As good as it gets
I was very skeptical of this because I have used and put up with a similar device that does it over the electrical lines and it was stable but very slow. All of these devices are fine if you are only accessing the internet, but I have a large server with multi terrabytes of media that I like to stream through the house. I have a gigabit connection to every computer in the house, but I just couldn't get an ethernet cable downstairs to the TV, that was my issue.
As I said, with previous ethernet over powerline devices I was getting 2.5-3MB/s max through the devices. I was really needing more. So I gave this ethernet over coax a try because I have about 3 coax connections in each room, they are everywhere. I was not expecting much, but I was quite impressed. I ran many tests over the network to and from the server and I was getting a steady 9-10MB/s and it would peak up to 11.8MB/s, which is right at the ceiling of Fast ethernet which is what they chose to put on these...
Some quality control issues with older units, but these seem pretty nice and work well.
Like all good technology, the Actiontec MoCA Adapters not only help to solve a problem, but they do so in a simple and efficient manner. The problem in this case, refers to the following ... How do I provide a reliable and fast internet connection to the devices in remote areas of my home?
In the early days of the internet, this wasn't as much of a concern. Most people had a modem internal to their Pc's and had little else in their homes that required or could take advantage of an internet connection. Nowadays you would be hard pressed to find a piece of technology that doesn't take advantage of an internet connection in some way, shape or form. But the logistics of providing a reliable and fast internet connection to all areas in our homes has been somewhat elusive.
Sure there's always the wireless solution. I would hazard a guess that very few internet connected households lack wireless technology. Sadly, as most people have probably experienced first hand,...
