To achieve excellent WiFi connectivity, your network must have a strong support system, or backbone. Having a strong, wired network backbone ensures that your internet connection is fast, reliable and able to achieve great WiFi performance and coverage.
Network backbone
A network backbone forms the foundation of your home network. It ensures that your overall internet connection is fast, reliable and able to produce flawlessly. If your network backbone is weak, it will affect the performance of your end devices, including your WiFi. Many network backbones use Ethernet wiring, and that’s a solid start for speed and reliability. But there are many instances where you may not have Ethernet wiring or you cannot run Ethernet, such as in older homes or rental situations. What do you do then?
Ethernet over Coax
An easy solution is Ethernet over coax, which is also called MoCA. Over 90% of homes in the US have coax TV wiring. MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance) technology allows you to transmit Ethernet data over coax TV wiring. MoCA forms a wired, point-to-point network backbone from your home coaxial wiring and coax outlets to your end devices, to create an extremely strong, reliable and fast wired connection. Using MoCA adapters or a MoCA-enable router, you convert your coax outlets and wiring into a fast and reliable wired network backbone, perfect for enhancing your WiFi connection. The MoCA adapter converts your coax wiring into an Ethernet-like connection, delivering speeds up to 1 Gbps to your end devices.
MoCA is designed to handle extremely high-bandwidth transmissions, such as video, giving it the increased capacity to handle more network traffic and devices, giving you better Internet and WiFi performance. Your WiFi network now has a strong foundation or backbone, so you can achieve faster speeds and better coverage. By using MoCA 2.5 network adapters, you can harness your coax wiring as a bigger network pipe to bring faster Internet and WiFi connections and higher reliability to your entire home.
MoCA 2.5 technology is the highest MoCA standard currently on the market. It’s designed to transform your existing coax cable outlets into an Ethernet network to deliver an extremely reliable and fast, wired network connection to every room that has a coax outlet or wiring, including your basement, garage or attic. Plus, you won’t have any holes to drill or any wires to run – you just plug in the MoCA Adapter to each Ethernet device you want on your MoCA network and it is automatically configured and ready to go.
Hitron’s MoCA Adapter kit (2 pack) is available for purchase on Amazon. If you are looking for more information about MoCA technology, check out Hitron’s Learn Page. By simply using Hitron’s HT-EM4 MoCA adapters, you can enhance your WiFi connection and Internet experience in every corner of your home.
