I’ve got a new build in the UK. Rather annoyingly there is standard UK Aerial cable to various places in the house but not ethernet. This is stapled to the stud work so I can’t use it to pull ethernet through.
Enter moca (I think)…
Each of the terminals has a separate line that all converge under the stairs (imagine a star-network topology).
Got a couple of questions:
- I have a particular device that does not use much network < 1MB per day and doesn’t require “high speed”. Given this is an entirely separate line, am I ok use a cheaper, passive, 10/100 Moca 1 device here or are these fraught with problems?
- For the other devices, I want as high speed/low ping as possible so will be using Moca 2.5. My question is, compared to ethernet, what am I not getting/what will be worse? (I was unable to get this answer from Google strangely - it just says its nearly-comparable to ethernet, but doesn’t tell me what nearly means)

Here are some diagrams from GoCoax that show how to use MoCA. Make sure your splitters are 5-1675mhz and pay attention to the location of PoE filters in the diagram that applies to you.
