How to Extend Your Network Without Upgrading Your Wiring

May 20, 2021

Extending your wired network often means an expensive re-wiring project. However, an easier way is to skip the cost, headache and chaos and use a plug-n-and-play solution called Ethernet over coax.

 

Converting your Existing Wiring into Ethernet

If you have ever had cable TV installed in your home or apartment, then you have coaxial cable wiring in your walls. This is great news! You can convert coax wiring into Ethernet without running wires.  Ethernet over coax, or MoCA technology, uses your existing coax TV wiring in your home to create an extremely fast and reliable network backbone.  MoCA is capable of networks speeds up to 2.5 Gbps when using MoCA 2.5 technology.

By using MoCA adapters, you convert your coax wiring into an Ethernet connection, which allows you to connect any of your Ethernet devices to it so you can extend your network’s reach and your WiFi coverage. Setting up a MoCA network is simple and you will get:

  • Better home WiFi
  • Better streaming speeds
  • Lag-free gaming experiences
  • No freezing or buffering while video conferencing when working from home
  • Faster WiFi speeds
  • Full WiFi coverage

 

By simply using Hitron’s HT-EM4 MoCA adapters, you can create an Ethernet backbone to enhance your WiFi network coverage. Want to learn more about how MoCA technology can enhance your home WiFi? Check out Hitron’s Learn page for more resources.
