Yes, you can use a MoCA adapter with Xfinity or Spectrum Internet to create a faster, more reliable wired network over your existing coaxial cables. Just make sure your setup includes a MoCA-compatible modem/router or use a pair of adapters for the best results.
Can I Use a MoCA adapter work with Xfinity Internet?
If you’re using Xfinity for Internet service and want a stronger home network without running Ethernet cables, a MoCA adapter is the easiest solution. MoCA adapters, like Hitron’s HTEM5, turn your home’s coaxial wiring into a high-speed Ethernet connection.
Here’s how:
- Connect one MoCA adapter to your router.
- Connect another MoCA adapter to the device you want to hardwire (like a smart TV, gaming console, or work computer).
- That’s it—no messy wiring or complicated setup.
Helpful Tip: If your Xfinity gateway already supports MoCA (like the Xfinity XB6, XB7, or XB8), you may only need one external MoCA adapter for your device.

Can I use a MoCA adapter with Spectrum Internet?

- Make sure the coax lines are active and connected throughout your home.
In short, a MoCA setup with Spectrum typically requires a pair of adapters, such as Hitron’s HTEM5 MoCA 2.5 adapters.
