The Problem is Not Your WiFi, It’s Your Wires

May 18, 2021

Is your WiFi struggling? That can happen often, especially since WiFi is vulnerable to interferences. Things like distance, think walls or floors, appliances, other people connecting to your network, high-bandwidth applications, outdated router or devices, etc. can all affect your WiFi performance.

But what if we told you that the problem might actually be your wired connection in your home?

 

Ethernet Over Coax to the Rescue

Not everyone has the funds to run Ethernet throughout their home. It can get expensive and create more chaos than you are looking for. The good news is that there is an easy and affordable way to get an Ethernet backbone connection in your home using your coax TV wires that you already have in your walls.

Ethernet over coax, uses MoCA technology combined with MoCA adapters to convert your existing coax TV wiring into Ethernet.  Coax TV wiring is designed to transport very high-bandwidth video and data, which makes it perfect to create an incredibly fast and reliable Internet backbone for your WiFi and all your connected devices.

It helps your Internet and WiFi connection to reach further because the MoCA adapters allow you to connect your wired devices (such as your router) to this enhanced network backbone to deliver WiFi to every corner of your home.

For more about setting up MoCA in your home, check out this article.

 

By simply using HT-EM4 MoCA adapters in your home, you can convert your coax cables into a solid Internet connection in every room in your home. For more about improving your WiFi, check out Hitron’s Learn Page or blog.
