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.

Works way better than powerline for me, in fact I ran an extra coax line to my garage since it was easy. I have 4 adapters and get gigabit speeds to all nodes. It does seem to add a bit of latency (3ms or so).

If you already have coax, you can leverage that instead of running new cabling.

My comcast provided modem has a moca option in its menu. I just turned that on and added just 1 of these to a coax outlet in another room and BAM it is all it took. I then tried to add a room further down the coax maze and was not so succsesfull. You need to know where your spliiers are in your house and what kind of cable used. The rooms that did not work for me were wired with rg59 fwiw. If you had the cable or satelite guy wire your house you need to know where the splitters are and reconfigure them with ones that cover the moca frequency. Cable and Satelite cabling should be great.

6250's can be fleabayed for for under $30ea every day. There are other brands, but this brand is the one folks like the best.

If you are leveraging existing coax runs installed by the cable companies in your home, make sure you also have a POE filter installed on the main incoming line to prevent your connection from leaking out to the main line (most cable installs I've seen already have these installed). Also, any coax splitters you have will need to be MoCA compliant. Amazon's got what you need (I had to upgrade my main splitter to a BAMF 8-Way - works great).

Appreciate that. What kind of mesh system do you have? I can return this to Costco and get something else..
Which Deco system you have? Looking on the Costco website, they seam to have a lot of Deco products. They also have the Netgear Orbis. Depends on your budget. I've read some of the newer Decos were decent as are the Orbis. Depends on your budget.

I have the ASUS ZenWifi ET12, but they're not available through Costco, online, anyways. It's the high end top of the line of the ASUS mesh system. So equivalent Decos and Orbis is their top systems respectively.

Look for a system that's WiFi 6e, triband, and the AP's can be hooked up via wired backhaul.

Ya, older houses generally had splitters in certain areas in the house. You have to find them and replace them. Most modern house have the splitters centralized in one spot in the garage or in a junction box at the side of the house then the coax cables running from there to the rest of the rooms.

I've mentioned before and as others as well, make sure you also get a POE filter. You can get them and the splitters and RG6 cables at Amazon.

Well, you're at a ranch house that I'm guessing is the only house on the proverbial block. So your router can probably reach as close to its theoretical advertised limit per the manufacturer.

I'm wondering at the farthest corner of your house, what's your WiFi download speed. And what devices you using in that area. Be curious to see a screenshot of your download speeds

I'm also wondering how many walls from your router to the farthest corner. Ranch House in my head says a "very open" space
pretty open floor plan so just a couple walls in between areas. I really never stood at the far wall with my nose pressed against the wall and tried to use my tablet Stick Out Tongue. I have a mesh router still in the box though as I never lacked internet speed enough anywhere to think it was a necessary addition. My area is fairly private so no neighbors close by. So it is more of a network congestion thing then, that was in my question?

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.
For sure, wired is always better. I mentioned my security system is wired cat6. I see alot of people buying these as well as I asked the same question in the deal for the 6 mesh router pack, I didn't get anything other than troll answers over there so figured I would ask again. That was more of an apples to apples comparison as it was wireless mesh. I was just curious.

Like others have mentioned, just because you have signal at the far end of your house, doesn't mean the bandwidth is high. Try streaming 4K videos there or gaming or anything requiring decent bandwidth.

In your situation, your single router may be fine. Others have to stream or play online games in those far reaching rooms. One router might not cut it for them. Even basic web browsing becomes painful. In this case, a mesh system is needed. Even then, bandwidth to the far reaches of the house may still be poor depending on placement. That's where these Moca devices come in super handy. Wired backhaul will ALWAYS be superior to wireless backhaul for mesh systems.

A lot of houses were wired for cable TV, and that coax is going unused.
He's specifically replying to someone that ran a new run to their garage with coax to use this instead of just using cat6

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if I have a cable modem using the only coax connection in the room with my router, can I somehow use the same coax connection for the backhaul? If I can, do I use a splitter? I want to connect 3 mesh routers to hardwire, but my main router is in the same room as my modem which is using the coax connection.

Your modem might have Moca built into it. Check your internet provider and hardware specs

Note that when using MoCA you should always put a "MoCA filter" (they're cheap small passive devices) on the coax line coming into your house, before it hits the first coax splitter in your home. This not only keeps your MoCA signals from getting out to your neighbors' houses, it also helps reflect your MoCA signals back into your home coax, which helps keep the MoCA signals strong even when they have to traverse multiple splitters.

Wouldn't that usually be on the outside of the home?

Depending on your building, it could be in an outdoor box, sometimes it's where the phone lines come in, if you have a basement it might be there, I'd just go outside and follow the line coming into the house and follow it until you find the first splitter.
