"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."
"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 ease of setup but performs poorly in some homes, especially where brick or stone walls weaken or block signals. Running new Ethernet cabling is an option, but existing coaxial lines can serve as a high-quality network medium using MoCA. MoCA 2.5 operates over coaxial cable, supports up to 2.5 Gbps, and delivers latency typically under 2.5 milliseconds. That bandwidth and low latency provide stable, high-speed connections for streaming, remote work, and gaming. Most households and many ISP plans do not approach the 2.5 Gbps limit, making MoCA 2.5 a practical alternative without rewiring.
