I think these goCoax 2.5 moca adapters are a way better deal at $20 more for a pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN

I use these myself and they were super easy to setup and use.

You can buy a pair of DCAU1R0-01 for less than $15 on ebay/Amazon if you are OK with 200Mb/s.

I am using them for 6 months, and they work flawlessly. The only catch is if you are using USB to power it up, you need to hook them into a data port, regular USB chargers won't work.

MOCA and DECA work in complete opposite ways, so NO, you cannot just use a DECA. MOCA uses the higher frequencies beyond that occupied by the traditional Cable Companies and therefore can be used in conjunction with Cable TV signals - DECA uses the same frequency and conflicts. DECA only works for satellite TV users, who also cannot use MOCA, or someone who does not use cable TV in their house or has a spare coax network separate from their TV signal.

I don't have a cable or satellite TV, therefore, YES I can use it

Thanks for the clarification though.

I am using multiple moca adapters with an attic mounted OTA and they work fine on the same line. I have a separate line for my cable modem connection. They may work on the same line for lower speeds but when I upgraded to gigabit I had to run a dedicated line for the cable modem and left everything else on the other coax network
