oh man this is why i read HN; i had no idea that this existed-- somehow-- and am the kind of person that runs ethernet cables all over the house rather than compromise in any way (powerline SUCKS ASS); and also i happen to currently live in a house with 1.2 trillion coax jacks, but no cat5/6 wiring to speak of, so this seems like it completely solves my problem in the best possible way. i don't know if i could possibly be more excited than this (i wish i were kidding more than i am).
yeah, sure, if i got a bunch of really fancy wireless equipment, that could probably swing it too, but would also require getting new WiFi cards to actually be able to take advantage.
- zw123456 4y agoI learn about in the last house I had which was in FiOS (fiber) available area and I of course ordered it and when they were installing it I asked the guy a bunch of questions and one was "who are you getting the signal across my Cable TV Coax" and he told me they were using MoCa so I googled it later and thought wow, that's interesting. Then Later I moved to this place and there is no FiOS but I have mm-wave 5G (2Gbps) but there was no Ethernet cable in the house so I thought, hey, I know, I will use that MoCa thing, and it worked like a charm, got my signal from the CPE antenna unit mounted on my Garage (best signal) down to my lab in my basement.
