kudos:1 | This is nice and all but... For the price of the adapters, might as well buy some CAT5e and wire your home with that, if you install it yourself it'll be way cheaper than buying a whole bunch of MOCA adapters. |

South Weymouth, MA | Anyone who knows anything about coax is attenuation. Attenuation is going to be greater at 800Mhz opposed to 55Mhz.
Also, the quality of the internal wiring of the house(Radio Shack, RG59 etc..) will compromise the quality I would imagine. Especially how every homeowner hacks their cable system in their house with multiple splits, screw-on fittings...I do not see this as being a good alternative. I would rather run Cat5, or use a wireless range extender if I had to. |

Especially how every homeowner hacks their cable system in their house with multiple splits, screw-on fittings... That was a huge problem for me. The previous owner of my house had satellite service, and I found out the irritating way that satellite signal splitters, which seem to be hidden all throughout this house, do a pretty good job of killing the cable TV signal. I ended up running RG-6 coax to every room from a single point.
Lucky for me, my sister was moving out of her old apartment at the time and she had a whole spool of Comcast-issue RG-6 that worked nicely (it must have been at least 100 feet or so). I also had stockpiled a lot of RG-6 from previous residences, so I only needed to buy a couple of 50 foot spools of the stuff to finish off my work.
But you're totally right about the crappy RG-59 cable... it is useless for most things these days, and I have a ton of it strung through the walls here.
