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.

How can I use these with a secondary router on Comcast? I'm not sure bridge mode works...

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.
I have the XE5300 so all of the criteria you listed is met with these. Wondering why I'm having some issues.

Definitely better. In most cases you get full throughput. Just make sure you use moca splitters and also get a moca adapter where your cable comes in

There were only a few posts indicating this, but to reiterate/make clear: the "2.5" indicates the MoCa spec version, not the max network speed the device offers. MoCa 2.5 specifies up to 2.5 Gbps, but need to check the device itself if it supports that speed or not.

Can anyone please comment on the latency introduced by these devices (if at all)? Gaming would be the obvious example, but I'm also wondering about video conferencing, etc.

Also, are there any limitations regarding the length of coaxial cable before you experience signal degradation? As an example, cat 5e gigabit speeds are limited to 100m runs.

The only use case for these is if you only need a 1G port, but have other 2.5G MOCA on the "network". I personally run all my MOCA adapters point to point to not have any throttling.

Not sure on these but MOCA adapters usually add a few ms of latency. The ones I have do.

I added 5 or 6 to my house a couple years ago for everything wired- my kid's PC for gaming, my office (lots of virtual meetings), backhaul between mesh routers, and I've not had any issues (I got the Frontier ones from eBay). Internal network speed over them maxes out at about 110 MBps, never noticed any latency issues. That's with all the coax connected to a central splitter, I have router going to MoCa adapter into splitter.

I had Powerline and switched to this a few years ago. It was a significant upgrade for us (older home); I'd recommend it if you don't want to deal with laying down CAT down yourself and have existing coaxial ports.

Oh, didn't see that.

In that case, yeah, that was kinda dumb laugh out loud

Probably better if you tell us what you are trying to do. Usually unless you know what you are doing a second router is not recommended.

It adds about 3ms overall. As for length I'm not sure.

Been using MoCa 2.5 in my house for 3 years now. 3 units in total - not a single hiccup and I work from home so it's constantly in use.

The way you have things connected might not be correct. I'd check some forums. There's probably something not set right.

For my ASUS ZenWifi Pro ET12, I had to separate the WiFi 6 from the 2.4 & 5G ones and give them separate SSID's. When they were one SSID, for some reason my WiFi 6e capable devices weren't picking up the Wireless 6, 6G band but the Wireless 6, 5G band only. Some weren't picking up the WiFi 6 altogether. Not sure why. Separating the SSID worked.

I enabled IPV6… seemed to help… YMMV

My ASUS AP that was connected to the GoCoax Moca 2.5 via the 2.5gb would suddenly stop working. It would start flashing "no connection". No Ethernet… No wireless signal. There was also instances where the AP appeared to be working, but speeds were slow. Turned out the wired backhaul was NOT working but was only connected via wireless backhaul. After several attempts at trying multiple different connections, finally got everything working correctly.

Networks can be such a pain to set up.

My house is 2 floors and 2800 sq ft. No "signal degradation" that I know of. My son games in the farthest room from the main junction box at the side of my house. He's never complained about any buffering or packet loss.

As far as video conferencing, it's more about bandwidth and whether the computer/tablet is wired or not. If wired, should be zero issues. If running wirelessly, it's dependent where your router or AP are located relative to your device. That's why people have mesh systems and connect their AP's or nodes via wired backhaul. Creates a more consistent fast wireless signal throughout the house.
