GoCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter vs Motorola MB8600

So in summary, these devices are great. But be prepared to test them yourself. Be prepared to have a couple tries on splitter, filters, and wiring setups before you get it right! But it is worth it.

So these modems are not the rock solid modems from the early Motorola generation many of us have become accustomed. I took away two star for the hassle caused by the modem and the aggravation of having to deal with Comcast automated voice hell system to reach a real human every time I had to call them. Of course Comcast could have easily told me it was the modem but refused to look at it since it wasn't company equipment. It was customer owned equipment

Mainly the downstairs set up. Once these babies connected though. My god, it just works!!! I am consistently pulling 260Mbps upstairs. It is blazing fast through all of the coaxial cables running in my house+ 25’ addition

This time it got me a bit. Spectrum in our area has been steadily increasing our cable internet speeds. I was going to blame Spectrum for us continually loosing connectivity but I did some hunting and found out our modem was just cooking and could not keep up with the upgraded internet service we were getting and using as we have steadily doubled the number of devices we have using it. Spectrum has more then doubled our speed in the last two years, and we have got at least 2x the devices using our internet now - no small wonder the old modem cut out

g. 10GBase-T, 4Gbase-T, 2.5Gbase-T, or SFP+). But I would recommend them if you're a tinkerer or paranoid about someone hacking your MoCA network, because it has some great encryption options, and configurable operation at different frequency ranges, etc

Worked pretty easily, however within a month it was intermittently cutting out. The cable company’s diagnostic app said the modem was going offline often (several dozen times per day). That makes it hard to maintain a VPN connection for work-from-home. I bought another modem of the same make & model at a local computer super-store and it has worked flawlessly ever since
