2 Pack - DIRECTV Broadband Deca Ethernet to Coax Adapter - Third Generation (with 2 USB Power Cables)

I don't know if my last product review went though. Amazon does this in a confusing way, but this product allowed me to connect the shop next door about 120' away. I had problems with my previous ethernet connection so thought I would try this and it made a huge difference. Great product.

Beware that most USB power supplies like phone chargers would not work with these devices, so do buy the kits including the power supplies and not those with only the USB power cables unless you are sure you can get a good hardware USB power form a TV, computer or router.That should be very explicit in the description instead of being buried in the Q&As (hence the 4 * instead of 5, would have given 4.5).I wanted to get wired Ethernet from a new fiber gateway to the old Wi-Fi router using the existing coaxial cable.It did not work when I tried ALL the USB phone chargers we have (iPhone, Samsung, generic,...). Power led stayed off.Before giving up, I went back to the Q&As section and there it was: you have to hook it up to a USB port on a TV or a computer. I did it on both sides, on the USB ports of the gateway and the router. And I get ~ 94Mbps for both download and upload.So I would say it works very well once you get it to work.

Worked very well to get internet to my home office. Was able to use the existing house coax run to get 100 megabit internet hookup. While this may not give you the full download speed of the faster ISPs out there, it is far more stable then a WiFi connection going through a bunch of walls.I am getting ~ 95 Megabits of throughput.Latency did go up about 4ms compared to using pure wifi/ethernet.Latency stays stable during usage which it did not with WiFi.The coax run I used is ~ 50 Feet.I would recommend this to anyone that has a remote area in their home/office to extend reliable network.For powering these, i simply plugged one into the USB port on my router, the other into a USB port on my monitor.These require a USB device to power up, not just a power brick.

I was looking forward to using this product but when it arrived and opened it up the usb and at other end just fell apart in my hands. So since they sent two I thought ok let's try that again. Same thing the end that plugs into converter just fell off in pieces. So ok choke all that down and try to use it without the little covers. Nothing it gave me a blank screen of no signal. Tried for hours to troubleshoot but to no avail. Will send them back and hope for refund.

These are great for establishing a fast ethernet (100Mbps) connection over 75 ohm coax(TV and broadcast FM cable). It wasn't a drop-in device for my requirement but it works great in the end.They wouldn't establish a connection by just connecting a 5V DC power supply to the micro USB connection. I assume they need a USB data connection also if you want to use that method of powering the devices. I think they use some power saving protocol for communicating if you power them through the USB. Which means they would need drivers for that kind of configuration.The devices I wanted to connect in the attic (USB TV tuners) and basement (ethernet network) didn't have that capability so I abandoned the micro USB connection for powering these. Since I wanted to use one of these devices up in the attic as a simple fast ethernet connection to my basement media center, I had to run 12V DC up on the same coax cable I used for the data. I used a Satellite/TV splitter with DC pass capability on the satellite path in both the basement and the attic to inject and strip off the DC from the coax. There are no RF or data signals transmitted over the satellite frequencies, so this works well as a straight DC power injector/bias tee.I didn't have an appropriate DC connector for the unusual 12V DC port on these devices so I disassembled the outer case and desoldered the 12V DC port from the PCB. The only way I could get the connectors off the board was to carefully cut the metal ground cover off the connector and then heat each solder connection while gently pulling it out of the tiny hole that it was soldered into. I soldered speaker wire to the power connections and a more standard DC port to the short piece of speaker wire to be able to inject the 12V DC to the device. The installation required a bit of soldering/desoldering capability and being handy with small cutoff tools. The end result has been installed for a few weeks and is running flawlessly connecting my two TV tuners mounted directly on my antennas in the attic, to my media server in the basement. This exercise allowed me to isolate and use two antennas one aimed at local and one aimed at distant transmitting towers covering multiple channels the are bumping up to one another in the TV band - all without any filtering or concern about cable length to eliminate destructive interference. It also allowed me to connect the tuner right at the antenna - eliminating virtually all cable loss so I could get every last dB the antenna is capable of.

The Broadband Deca Ethernet to Coax Adapter works flawlessly! It was easy to set up and provided a stable, fast internet connection through my existing coaxial cable. It’s a great solution for extending Ethernet access without the need for extra wiring.Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable and hassle-free network solution!

I did not know what MoCA meant 4 weeks ago, even though I saw it in my Modem Security Controls from time to time. I came across a Video about Networks by ByPassing your ISP. The Video inferred a MoCA Setup would possibly work. I used the Deca Coax because they were designed to work with Internet TV& Broadband etc. I Split my Internet Cable, one going into my Regular ISP Modem and the Other bypassing the Modem and going directly into the Deca Coax and connecting to the WAN Port on a 2nd Wifi6 Router. It worked! I have LAN and Wireless connectivity, very easy, very satisfied!
