Can I ask what adapters you are using that cost you around $50? Here in Canada I am having trouble finding MoCA adapters that don't cost double that.

- sowbug 4y agohttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MQG6T61/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MQG6T61/ are $99.99 for a two-pack.
- MegaDeKay 4y agoThanks but these guys appear to be quite expensive up here. Cheapest MoCA units I can find on Amazon.ca hover around $163 C$ a pair. However, in the process, I discoved that DirecTV DECA adapters can be used on "dark coax" for $41 C$ a pair. Whoa! They top out at 100MBit/sec, but that would be plenty for my use case. And I just happen to have a fair bit of this "dark coax" running through my house.
- sowbug 4y agoNeat hack! If you ever do light up that cable with TV service, remember to unhook the adapters, because they can't coexist with digital cable. I wonder whether DirecTV engineers approached their management during DECA development and said "we have a problem: this technology we're working on interferes with digital cable," and management replied "uh, yeah, that's not a problem." :)
