Moca is a life saver for us who don't want to spend a fortune on installing CAT5/6 in every room.

how much of a difference is there between the half duplex of the moca 2.0 and the full duplex of 2.5?

I ordered the 2.0 because all my nodes are capped at 1gbps, but it looks like maybe I should have sprung for the 2.5 since the combination of full duplex and higher bandwith means I'm more likely to max out and actually reach 1gbps...

should I cancel the order and upgrade, or will I really not see much of a difference, since again, nothing on my network supports more than 1gbps?

It's a good deal for the product itself.

But it's not that much more for 2.5Gbps ethernet equipped MoCA adapters now. ~$120 for a set. That's 2.5Gbps of actual bandwidth vs 1Gbps.

Much more future proof for devices that are pretty reliable long term. It's not like these adapters have storage that wears out over time. They will run years with no human intervention.

If you can spare a few extra dollars, I'd just go to 2.5Gbps now. You're good for the next several years for an extra $30 or $15 per adapter. vs upgrading in a couple years and repurchasing the damn things.

Just my $0.02.

Quote from BlueRoom4419 :
Curious as to what kind of houses people have that need all of these mesh routers and backhaul's ? I have a 4k Sqft ranch house ( I am fairly confident if was 2 story and 8K Sqft my router could cover that too) and with one wireless router I can get wireless anywhere in my house and even out into my yard! I do have some cat6 ran wired for my security system as I don't want one $10wireless jammer to take the whole thing out but the rest is wireless and I have a metric crap ton of wireless devices! Is it just because people live in signal congested areas or what ?
Some people want the best possible signal to their devices. Wired will always beat wireless.

Will the difference be measurable? Yes. Will the difference be noticeable? That depends on the person and the purpose.

I have 4 goMoca adapters (Moca 2.5) in my house right now. I plan to add more but wonder if Frontier Moca adapters will work with them. I read somewhere that the Frontier Moca adapter does not provide the full speed. If anybody had done this, I'd appreciate it if you could share your experience.

Seems like this has only 1gb port even though it says supports moca speeds of 2.5gb speeds. Bit deceiving? Looks like 7250 model gets you the 2.5gb Ethernet port.
The one with 2.5 gb port is their very high speed model
ECB7250K02, which they usually sell for $169.99. I see that they have a sale on that as well today at $135.99. I purchased recently from Amazon Warehouse an acceptable pair at $106 as I expected that it would be still very good from last experience of buying acceptable electronics from Amazon Warehouse. Boy, these time also, they sent me items that looked like new and I couldn't find any cosmetic defects. The performance is also as described.

On mesh wifi before, I was getting only about 200-300 mbps with the WiFi from the nodes.

On my gigabit Internet, with this and Ethernet cable, I get same as the Fios router at about 1.1 Gbps. Now my wifi routers in additional 2 rooms changed to access points provide 500 - 700 mbps over WiFi. Game changer!

Only data traversing the 1Gbps router will be capped at 1Gbps. If you're devices are all plugged into a 2.5Gbps switch and they all have 2.5Gbps NICs then you can transfer data between devices at 2.5Gbps. However, your Internet speed will be capped at 1Gbps on all of those devices because of your routers interface. You'll always be limited to the slowest link.
They said their switches are gig, so that's their cap until they upgrade the switch

I too have been very happily using MOCA over prewired coax to extend my home network without resorting to pulling CAT 5/6 cables. In fact, I have been using MOCA for so many years that my adapters are only version 1.1. 😯

After reading through these posts, I decided to see what upgrading to Frontier FCA252 adapters will do for me.

Thank you !!!

So this is compatible with Verizon FiOS router?
If your verizon router has a coax connection and it is plugged in yes.

You need a pair of these, right?
I believe so, that's what I'm running now. On top of that you need a moca poe filter as well.

I have GoCoax Moca devices in my house. They work great.

If you're having instability issues, there's a good chance it can be your mesh system. I had an old Deco M5 system in the past. One of the most unreliable WiFi systems I've ever had next to a Tenda Nova system that was utter garbage. Both had constant dropouts, had to reboot them often. Signal strength were, meh at best. Constant buffering and packet losses with online gaming. 🤮

My experiences anyways. I'm sure others were happy with there's… not me.

Moca devices can mix and match. Even 2.5 and 2.0 and 1.1. You'll be limited to the slowest of the Moca devices I believe. I setup up my ex'es with the 2.0 version of the ScreemBeam. Works great for her
Appreciate that. What kind of mesh system do you have? I can return this to Costco and get something else..

Thanks OP! Bought one even though I'm clueless about this. The last tech I tried was Poweline and it was not as good as I had hoped.
This works far better than those. I've been using it to run internet to my upstairs. My connection upstairs never drops.
