Can I Use My Coax TV Wiring for Internet?

Yes, you can use your coax TV wiring to get Internet in your home. In fact, creating an Ethernet over coax network can make your Wi-Fi better in the long run.

 

What is coax over Ethernet?

Coax over Ethernet, or Ethernet over coax, is a technology that allows you to convert your TV cabling into a fast home Internet network. This is also known as MoCA technology.

Creating a coax cable Internet connection requires using MoCA adapters. How this works is that MoCA sends your Internet signal over the coaxial wiring just like if you were using an Ethernet connection. However, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on big construction projects to run Ethernet throughout your home. You just need the plug-in-and-go MoCA adapters.

MoCA adapters allow you to have the best of both wired and wireless Internet in your home. The adapters create a wired backbone for your network so that you get perfect 4K streaming, lag-free gaming and high-speed networking.

 

How to Easily Set Up MoCA

MoCA adapters are a plug n’ play set up that takes seconds and zero hassle. To do this, you will need two MoCA adapters if your modem or router does not have MoCA built in. Then, all you do is:

  1. Connect one adapter to a coax jack and into your router.
  2. Connect the second adapter into the device you want to use to connect to the Internet.
