Do research regarding MOCA standards… I use them to wire backhaul my ASUS ZenWIFI Pro ET-12's… I have ATT 2gb Fiber. I get over 2gb/s wired. My wireless speeds can reach around 1gb/s near my router that's wired backhauled via the MOCA device.
0.003 kW/device * 2 (devices) * 24 (hours/day) * 365 (days/year) * 6 years = 315 kWh (for 6 years)
Average for US currently is 15.45 cents/kWh [energybot.com]:
315 kWh * 0.1545 $/kWh = $48.72
The max power the supply generates is 6 W, so it can be as much as double the above calculation, but usually supplies are over-spec'd, and assuming half the capacity (on average) seems a reasonable starting point.
So, yeah, you are spending a chunk of change on power as well. I can't conclude either way whether that cost is significant for each individual. Wholeheartedly agree, though, that maybe the $170 that one might spend is worth the effort of just pulling cat6 cable.

Been using Moca for 3.5 years in an 8k sq foot two story house. ATT fiber 1gb up/down. I max this at every device throughout the house. Never had as much as a hiccup. Plug and play from day 1. Two wireless APs max as well. I could've spent a week or two crawling through the attic wiring up a dozen rooms. This took 25 minutes.
Get the frontier… same speeds at half the price…

If you already got coax, $200 over 6 years of electrical usage, while getting very good throughput and putting in ZERO WORK, is super reasonable. Time is money.

I use a different brand adapter, but it should be similar. I have 20+ year old coax around my house and use a network of 3 moca adapters without issue, including through splitters and couplers. The wires are external, traveling all the way around my house, with the longest run being probably nearing 100ft. Iperf shows 900+mbps (i dont have 2.5gbps gear other than these adapters) with no noticible packet loss.
I am a huge fan of MoCA, but there are caveats:
- You have to make sure that nothing else is on the coax using the same spectrum...mainly an issue with satellite TV.
- The whole network shares one large pipe, similar to an ethernet hub or one wifi AP. With switched ethernet, each point-to-point gets its own full pipe. Basically, dont run huge file transfers between 3+ machines simultaneously!
- If you mix MoCA, despite what the white papers say, your network will likely slow down to the slowest link. I had a mix of MoCA 1.1 and 2.0 bonded, and I experimented with taking the 1.1 off and on, and the network speeds (iperf) would go from the full gigabit to the 170-ish Mbps of 1.1.
- older MoCA, like most wifi, isnt full-duplex. MoCA 2.5 IS full-duplex, however.
- Some MoCA adapters only have gigabit ethernet (not this one), so despite the backbone being much faster, you will be limited to gigabit at each node.
- You are limited to 16 nodes...not a major issue for most normal people, but food for thought.
- You need a coax splitter which works above the 1ghz spectrum to get the full speeds of 2.5. It isnt expensive, but just check.
- if youre using cable internet, you will need a Poe filter where the signal leaves the house so that everyone else in your neighborhood cant see your stuff. If you are using fiber, this isnt an issue.
The good news is that you can use RG6 or RG59...MoCA is quite tolerant of really crappy coax cable.
Many ISPs have MoCA built into their modems or ONTs, so you might only have to buy adapters for each node/PC/wifi hotspot
The most important part is that you will get network speeds indistinguishable from ethernet with MoCA...for smaller networks, this could be even faster than ethernet since 2.5/10g switches are still really expensive.

GigE DECA is available but not cheaper/faster than the Frontier 2.5 MOCA adapters.

Getting Frontier, will they supply these or do I have to request them for a charge? Used to the modem rental scam, so hard to know what you'll get charged for. TIA for a reply. 👍
