This low-cost networking option can seriously improve your internet - here's how to find it
"I've always been a champion of Wi-Fi. Wireless networks are convenient, easy to set up, and, thanks to years of improvements, generally stable. As much as I prefer Wi-Fi, I'm also fully aware that it isn't the perfect solution for everyone. There are situations where a wireless network isn't viable, such as a home made with brick walls. Brick and stone can weaken or outright block Wi-Fi signals."
"What is MoCA 2.5? MoCA stands for Multimedia over Coax Alliance. It is a networking standard that uses existing coaxial cable to transmit internet data. The most recent version is MoCA 2.5, which supports connection speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps and offers low latency, typically under 2.5 milliseconds. 2.5 Gbps isn't the fastest internet speed in the world. With the right ISP plan, equipment, and cabling, it is possible to achieve 5Gbps or more, but 2.5Gbps is more than enough for most people."
Wi‑Fi offers convenience and easy setup but can be unreliable in certain homes, especially those with brick or stone walls that block signals. Existing coaxial cable that delivers service to the home can be repurposed instead of installing new Ethernet. MoCA 2.5 (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) provides up to 2.5 Gbps throughput and latency typically under 2.5 milliseconds. Simple MoCA adapters enable stable, high‑speed wired connections ideal for streaming, remote work, and gaming. While higher speeds are technically possible, 2.5 Gbps is sufficient for most household needs and common ISP plans.
