What is an Internet Booster

There is nothing more frustrating than losing internet and WiFi connection in your own home. Regardless of whether it is slow speeds, dropped signal or limited coverage, these issues can be solved with an internet booster. Internet boosters are used to extend internet connectivity throughout your home, meaning fewer dropped signals, and a wider range.

 

There are several Internet boosters you can choose from:

 

  • MoCA adapters – MoCA technology is an Internet booster that converts coax wiring into an Ethernet connection (also called Ethernet over coax) and can provide speeds up to 1 Gbps! This solution is ideal for homes that don’t have Ethernet or limited Ethernet, such as homes older than 15 years or even apartments where you cannot run Ethernet.
  • Wireless range extenders – these are used to extend WiFi signal reach and coverage throughout a home. They broadcast existing signals without hurting the network’s bandwidth.
  • Mesh WiFi – similar to MoCA technology because it is also wired, Mesh WiFi is a whole-home WiFi system. Mesh consists of a mesh router that connects to a modem with a series of satellite modules.

 

If you have an older home with thicker walls or a larger home that needs a lot of coverage, you may find WiFi connectivity difficult. In these cases, MoCA adapters or a Mesh WiFi system are the best options for you. By selecting a booster like HT-EM4 MoCA 2.5 Coax to Ethernet Adapter, you get faster internet speeds, your connection becomes more reliable, and you will be able to cover your entire home in Internet and WiFi.

 

The HT-EM4 uses MoCA 2.5 technology, providing you with network speeds up to 1 Gbps using your coaxial wiring/cables. You can use the HT-EM4’s handy Ethernet port in a variety of rooms like game rooms, home offices and home theater setups. Simply connect any Ethernet device like gaming consoles, Zoom, 4K streaming services or more to your MoCA adapter and you will experience lag-free gaming, HD streaming and pristine video conferencing.

 

If you’re struggling with internet and WiFi connection issues in your home, consider purchasing an internet booster to extend the life and coverage of your home network. Want to learn more about MoCA adapters or learn about Mesh WiFi? Check out Hitron’s Learn section.
