MoCA stands for Multimedia over Coax. It is a home networking technology that will give you an ultra-high-speed connection over the existing coaxial wiring already in your home. By simply using MoCA Network Adapters or MoCA WiFi Extenders, you can turn your home network into an “Internet Autobahn” with speeds of up to 1 Gbps*.

How does MoCA work?

When everyone in the house is using WiFi at once, things can slow down and get spotty. Traditional mesh home networks can be unreliable, signals often drop, and speeds may fluctuate. You may even have dead zones in and around your home where you get no WiFi. When streaming video, your screen might freeze or buffer for a few seconds intermittently. These things can be very frustrating. Thankfully there is a quick and affordable solution: MoCA®.

What is an “Internet Autobahn” and how do I get one?

A gamer’s worst nightmare is network lag. Latency is the quality of your network, meaning how long in milliseconds it takes for data to reach back to its original destination. When playing games online, latency is critical. The lower the latency, the better the gaming experience. With high latency – boom – you’re dead while waiting for that connection to catch up with your actions.
