By using multiple streams, you’re able to saturate the connection. Latency matters for TCP because of the round-trip time to acknowledge receipt of packets. MoCA has significantly higher latency than twisted pair Ethernet which itself has higher latency than fiber or direct attach copper. That's a topic for another discussion but it's almost criminal how companies can market the speeds of network devices.Īnyway, I'm satisfied with the performance as my use case was to improve streaming, not to use it for anything like file transfers.Īs well, I do have a Starlink MoCA kit on the way to compare against the one I do have and I'll end up keeping the better of the two kits. MoCA was a clear winner even though it didn't come anywhere near it's stated performance speed or anywhere near 1Gbit/sec. Wifi (AC, no AX in my house) - 35 Mbits/sec Using iperf3 on my laptop where the Shield resides, I ran series of tests against my main server running on a wired lan using bonded network interfaces so I knew there would be no bottlenecks there. I didn't have high expectations and I certainly wasn't surprised by the poor speeds which I why I also got MoCA devices to compare. Just a side note, I started off with trying some of the newer Netgear powerline adaptors. I have one unit connected to my main switch and coax port in my office and a second unit upstairs connected directly to the Nvidia Shield which sits near a coax port. Good timing on this post as I just purchased a couple of the Screenbeam (Actiontec) units to get a cable to an Nvidia Shield in a remote part of my house. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!

I also talked to another manufacturer of MoCA devices and they told me that the Arris MEB1100 will ONLY operate in the C4 MoCA band, which is 975-1025 MHz.Please use the search function to look for keywords related to what you want to ask before posting since most common issues have been answered. Again, I can’t confirm this, because Arris won’t even acknowledge this device actually exists, despite their logo and branding being all over it. What I think is the reason why it doesn’t work in my environment - MoCA uses different frequencies for WAN and LAN traffic most MoCA devices can transmit and receive both, but it appears THIS device can only do WAN, not LAN. There is no manual, and no spec sheet, there’s nothing. They said it’s an OEM device and can’t even tell me anything about it whatsoever, because they don’t even know. So, naturally, I contacted the manufacturer, Arris, and they would not even give me basic information about this device. I bought one of these and I couldn’t get it to work with my other MoCA devices. BEWARE! Only operates in C4 MoCA band (975-1025 MHz), and ARRIS won’t provide ANY support for this product whatsoever
