This is the review I wrote for the companion adapter, ECB2500C, that includes my experience with this device. You'll need something like the ECB2500C to create the MoCA network, acting as a bridge to your cable modem or router.Though the description mentions this is made for Verizon FIOS, it should work with just about any network of coax cables in the home or business. Mine works fine on an Xfinity (Comcast) provider system. The only possible issue is that these are precoded to look for firmware updates on a now-defunct Verizon server. If you're concerned that something might happen in the future with Verizon sending out updates that will make your adapter incompatible with your system, simply delete the server info from the setup, and turn off auto-update.I purchased my grandparent's estate, a couple of years back, and wiring the old stone and concrete house for ethernet has been a challenge in some areas. Since it's stone and concrete, wifi is a bit of an issue, too. And, while some of the house's power wiring is new, much of it's old, meaning parts of the wiring doesn't work well with Homewire based networking. Which means I've got a fairly eclectic setup in place to get network connectivity where it's needed, consisting of a blend of ethernet, Homewire, WiFi, and now, MoCA.The ethernet/Homewire/WiFi setup was working fine, until I took advantage of a Black Friday sale TiVo had on a new, lifetime service Bolt. It came with a Mini. Great! Except, the Mini doesn't work with WiFi, and the bedroom where I wanted to put the Mini was one of the areas that Homewire barely works in. Running ethernet to that room was going to be way more trouble than it was worth, so I added MoCA to the mix. Comcast had wired all the bedrooms over the years, so the coax was there, and in good condition. Plus, the Mini has built-in MoCA, making the addition a no-brainer.Setup was incredibly simple. I set it on top of the new Bolt, removed the coax from the Bolt, connected that feed to the this adapter, grabbed a 1.5 foot hunk of coax, and looped out of this adapter back into the Bolt, then plugged the power adapter in. Total time? Maybe 2 minutes. I made my way from the basement man-cave to the bedroom where the Mini was going to be placed, connected the coax feed in there into the back of the Mini, plugged it into power, connected the HDMI cable to the TV, and went through the few minutes of setup for the Mini.Done!It took longer to figure out the right program code for the TiVo remote to operate the TV than to set up the devices and have a solid, reasonably fast MoCA network in place.My granddaughters' bedroom was another area of weak wifi without simple solution. Since they had cable TV in their room, I added one of the companion devices from Actiontec, the WCB3000N. Now they, and that corner of the house, have solid WiFi. It also provided two ethernet ports, providing additional connectivity options. Connection of the WCB3000N did require a splitter, but it comes with one in the box, as well as a short coax cable. Connecting it up was straightforward and simple, and took just a few minutes. Renaming WiFi connections, changing passwords, etc., was a snap, too.Overall, I'd highly recommend this, and the WCB3000N. They're worth every penny.

I have Verizon FIOS service with the excellent Actiontec MI424WR router that is located in my family room which, unfortunately, is located to the far right side of the first floor of my two story 1924 era stucco house. As a result, at best I had very poor to no wifi signal in the 2nd story bedrooms on the left side of the house, including my master bedroom. After doing a good bit of research and talking with friends who had less than ideal experiences with other extenders, I found this Actiontec Network Extender and after reading the reviews decided to order it. Folks considering this wireless network extender should understand that it must be connected to a coaxial cable, but since I have a TV in my master bedroom that was not a problem for me because a coaxial cable was already in the room. So plan accordingly and install the extender in a room that already has an active coaxial cable, or plan on installing one before getting the Actiontec wireless extender. Once I opened the Actiontec box I found that everything I needed to complete the installation was included in the box. Since I already had an active coaxial cable in my MBR, all I had to do was simply disconnect the coaxial cable from my DVR, connect the coaxial cable to the splitter provided by Actiontec, use two short coaxial cables included in the Actiontec box to connect one of them from the splitter back to the DVR and the second one from the splitter into the wireless network extender. Once that was done all that was left was to then plug the power cord for the Actiontec wireless network extender into an outlet. Amazingly, the wireless network extender took over from that point and did the rest. I didn't have to type in a MAC address, a password or anything. After booting up it simply turned on and automatically communicated with my Verizon router to obtain the network name and password. Nor did I have to do anything to any of my devices (iPhone, iPad, laptop, etc.) because they automatically recognized the new Actiontec wireless extender as part of my network. I really couldn't believe how simple the installation was, and what little amount of time it took. Amazingly simple and very, very user friendly! Now I get an exceptional wifi signal all over the house (interior as well as exterior) unlike before when I had a very large dead spot. Since installing the Actiontec I've experienced several power outages (notoriously poor service from Duke Energy, not because of the Actiontec) and thought the Actiontec extender may have problems re-connecting or re-syncing with the network once power was restored. But my concerns were unfounded as each time the Actiontec extender has immediately re-connected with my FIOS router as soon as Duke Energy decided to provide the neighborhood with power again. Bottom line, I am very, very happy with not only the strength of the signal provided by the Actiontec Extender, but by the ease with which the extender can be installed; and would definitely recommend this product to others. Just wish more tech products were as simple and user friendly.
