I use mocas to get internet from the modem to my computer, what's the easiest way to upgrade?

posted 11 months ago

My internet speed is 1gbps and thats the speed I get when connected directly to the modem, however I’d like to upgrade the speed on my computer to take advantage of the full 1gbps so to my understanding I need to upgrade the mocas, now my question is, will upgrading the ones connected directly to the modem and to my computer be enough? or will I have to replace them throughout the entire house (there are 8 of them in total)
How can I make sure it’ll stay compatible with everything else?

Theoretically, you could just upgrade the main MoCA/Ethernet bridging adapter at the router and the adapter at your PC, but the devil is in the details … and the thread is lacking any details. So… maybe.

Brand & model of MoCA nodes and all coax splitters? Any known MoCA 2.5 incompatibilities for existing gear? Are splitters spec’d for MoCA 2.x?
