Actiontec Ethernet over Coax MoCA Adapter - Single Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this device to connection to my FIOS Actiontec router, and without a few comments from people here, you'd never get this to work properly.
First, the "quick instructions" (the only instructions as it turns out) assume that you are using a pair of these only to create an ethernet bridge over your coax. Thus, using this to connect to your FIOS router, the instructions are nonsensical.
Second, without instructions, you'll conclude you put this in between your coax cable and set top box. This will not work, even though this is apparently the way it's supposed to work. You'll get interference on your TV, things won't work, and you'll be ready to throw it in the box and return it.
In reality, you take the cable from the wall jack and get it into a coax splitter. One split goes to the set top box, the other to the device. You connect the ethernet jack to the device, and you're up and working.
If you go to Actiontec's site, they have no instructions how this will work with an Actiontec's FIOS router, despite the fact that this is probably the best use of the device!.
Anyway, once you get it hooked up, as other have said, you don't configure anything. It just works.
So it's a great product, hampered by no instructions for many people, and no help on the web site.

D-Link DXN-221 MoCa Coax Ethernet Adapter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just spent a day tearing my hair out trying to get these devices to work. I had my coax from the wall into a 2-way splitter and then onto a DXN-220 on one branch and my cable modem on the other. Every time I connected in the DXN-220, or switched from config to moca on the DXN-220, the cable modem would drop out and my internet connection was lost.
[...]
When I connected the coax from the wall to the DXN-220's coax in/out and then the TV out from the DXN-220 to the cable modem, they work just fine.
I did not need the suggested Channel Vision C-0314 1 In 4 Out Amplified Splitter.
D-link support were no help and I was passed from pillar to post through their system with many disconnections. I was on the phone for literally hours hanging on waiting for another rep asking the same questions.
I also could not get the configuration utility to work until I added the utility program to my anti-virus (Trend) firewall allowable programs list. However, it wasn't any help since there's not much to configure!
Anyway, I was just about to send it back for a refund when I found the post mentioned above, so thanks to that guy whoever he is.
Can I recommend these, only if you're prepared to work at the installation. There are others by Netgear and Gifen, maybe their instructions are clearer or their support more helpful, I can't say. Once working they are better than wireless and ethernet over powerline.
