I have FIOS at home and two Actiontec routers (one upstairs and one downstairs), both connected via coax and the second working over MoCA. This has been working well, but when I connected via Ethernet on the downstairs router, I only get transfer rate of about 10 MB per second.
I'm looking to get gigabit speeds of at least 70 to 90 MB per second, so I bought two Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax adapters and I connected one upstairs where my Verizon FIOS router is and another one down in the basement.
Upstairs I connected the coax from the wall into the splitter ( MoCA 2.0 2-way splitter 5-1675MHz 6kV 3.5dB) and then connected one coax to the FIOS router and one to the MoCA adapter. I then plugged the Ethernet cable from the adapter to the FIOS router.
Downstairs I just connected the coax from the wall directly to the MoCA adapter and then the Ethernet from the adapter to my computer, bypassing the second router altogether.
Now everything works, but my speeds are exactly the same as when I didn't have the MoCA 2.0 adapters. I'm still stuck at 10 MBs per second.
What I am doing wrong? Why did the speed not increase? My house is new and the coax cabling should be fine.
I can't understand why I'm not getting closer to 1 gigabit rather than just 100 Mbps. Shouldn't the coax and MoCA 2.0 adapters be able to do something faster than 100 Mbps? Please help!
Thanks in advance
