Prone to what problems… guaranteed you've never actually tried Moca devices… ask the average Joe to pull Cat 6 throughout their house. How many you think will try? Pretty well every house has coax throughout their house. These MOCA devices use the existing RG6 to establish wired internet for those who do not have Ethernet cables throughout their house… or can't or won't wire their house with Ethernet.

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.
3W = 0.003 kW
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.
Veteran ISP network engineer with lots of MoCA experience here. I agree with everything you said with one exception: MoCA 2.5 is not a duplex communication system, it's still simplex ("half duplex") just like its predecessor versions and WiFi. We won't see duplex MoCA links until 3.0 hardware hits the market. The spec has been ratified but we're still waiting on MaxLinear to release chipsets so they can be embedded in next gen MoCA adapters. I'm looking forward to 10 Gbps symmetric throughput (probably more like 8.5 Gbps after error correction and other overhead just like XGS-PON) and don't mind the potentially shorter reach, much higher power consumption, and massive RF spectrum requirements that will likely come with it.

Ah, I stand corrected. I guess all of the comparison charts were leaving out that saying that it is only full duplex effectively if you call it 1.25gbps...which is no different than the Ethernet hubs of old. Plus, even that speed only applies when you have two nodes!

Anyone have experience with this and tivo? I had tried another similar unit, and it would instantly kill the moca network…. Not sure if it's a tivo, router, or hardware issue…

Anyone know if I can use Moca to extend the wan from my modem to my router? My router and modem are separate

So Modem's wan -> moca -> coax -> moca -> router.

The xfinity technician said our house's coax is too old for a stable connection, so I want to plug the modem directly into the line from outside but that's in the garage while the router is upstairs

Everything I find online is about extending a router's ethernet, so I'm getting no hits about extending a modem

I would also be interested in this as I am thinking about 5G Internet service (T-Mobile, ATT, etc.).

Installed it with a 2 way splitter on front of the modem but now I got cloudfare human verification at almost every link I click. Turned off modem several times to try to get new IP from ISP but in vain. Anyone knows how to fix that?
