![]() I found a cat5 cable in the room where my PC is but connecting it to the PC does nothing - do I need to activate it? I also have a coax in my upstairs bedroom but that would mean I would have to run an ethernet cable down the hall and into the room where my PC is, so not ideal for visual appearances. My gaming/console setup is just like yours, except my modem is in the living room so my PC I have telus fibre optic. I'm struggling with this right now, I'm a complete noob in this area. If you have Rogers, you should also install an inline filter on your coax line so your MOCA network doesn't extend outside your house. So if your speeds suck, try replacing your splitters. Although the devices were rated up to 1 Gbps, and I usually get 850 Mbps upstairs, I never got more than 400 Mbps downstairs, but the signal was solid. Once I got Bell, I was able to replace the whole house coax splitter and wire the coax runs together and now my speeds are around 930-950Mbps (limited by the gigabit port on the MOCA adapter). I cut the cable cord 5 years ago and have been using the Actiontec ECB6200 (MoCA 2.0) to use my coax cable runs instead of ethernet to extend my AT&T gigabit network from upstairs to downstairs. One thing to note is that when I had Rogers, my speed over the MOCA adapters was around 400-500Mbps and I thought it was just the quality of the coax cables in the house. ![]() I now have Ubiquiti APs hardwired into the MOCA adapters and the setup works great. I tried powerline adapters (terrible), Orbi Mesh Wifi (speeds were good but latency was bad for gaming) and ultimately landed on the MOCA adapters which have been fantastic. There was no way to run an ethernet cable (high velocity HVAC with very narrow pipes, high ceilings) without tearing out half the drywall. I struggled for several months when we moved into our multi-floor townhouse to get reliable internet in our living room (where the console is for gaming) versus the modem location on the 2nd floor (where desktop is for also gaming, lol). No different than a wired ethernet connection. PerformingAzura wrote: ↑How's the latency on these?
