![]() ![]() I was able to obtain the advertised speeds after testing with iperf3 between 2 devices linked via Actiontec in different rooms.This can take 15-30 seconds depending on your coax setup, etc The Coax indicator on the Actiontec adapter will light up only after a bi-directional connection has been established.If the coax cables in the cable box do not have connectors, use a coax stripper to attach connectors (sold at Home Depot / Lowe’s).Coaxial Cable Stripper (Can use any ordinary wire cutter)ġ) Connect Actiontec Adapter 1 in the room (Living Room) with the routerĢ) In the cable box, connect coax outlet from Living Room to the other coaxial cables where you want to provide Ethernet connectivityģ) Connect adapter in other rooms where the coax was connected to (from 2).I took some notes as I set up my environment which I have provided below. It is a shame considering that the product is very capable. You'd think that Actiontec - as the manufacturer would know what they are selling but evidently doesn't. I saw the videos on Youtube and the support documentation which did not ask for a Cable Modem. ![]() I called Actiontec and they advised that if I didn't have "Cable Modem" it won't work. The first floor has coax outlets in all the rooms but no ethernet outputs and as a consequence, we were stuck with having a Gigabit ethernet that only worked in a single room. The ground floor is where the router is located. We have been cable-free for some time and hence the cable lines have remained unused. The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) has an ethernet out that goes into the AT&T Router. ![]() Had I listened to the helpdesk at Actiontec, I wouldn't have had this today. Most of the new residences in the area now have ethernet wall ports but if you don't you can very well use the Actiontec Bonded Moca 2.0 to get the same benefit. ![]()
