MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter TIVO (YTMC-51N1-M2)

My greedy cable company wanted to charge me $50 for a new MoCA home router (plus their $9.99/month modem rental fee) just to install the new TiVo whole-home DVR features. I said no way. Bought this device and set-up was simple. The TiVo boxes recognized it right away and it has worked flawlessly every single day since installation. I even use TiVo to watch YouTube, Netflix, etc. which all require this box to connect to the internet. I have never had a slow down, hiccup or buffering while watching streaming videos, movies, etc with this device. Couldn't be happier to have bought this and save all that money with the cable company!

I tried these thinking I would save some money compared to the Actiontecs. The speeds were not consistent at all and they would drop signal regularly. I replaced them with the Actiontecs and I no longer have this problem. A buddy of mine also had the same issue. Maybe I just had a bad batch, but these did not work well for me at all.

Instructions are OK but pay attention to the coax connector. Would it have been that hard to put IN and OUT or something to make it more clear? Maybe I'm just slow. After getting it all connected properly, they work well with no fuss. I am using on a Tivo Roamio basic and this gives the Tivo Mini's a working MOCA connection.

I bought this because I wanted to start to upgrade my MoCA network with v2.0. To this point I had been using the Actiontec ECB2500 devices, which were working fine, but I've added two Tivo minis to my network (which already had two other Tivo devices), so I thought an upgrade to MoCA v2.0 would be worth it. The Yitong device was cheaper than the Actiontec v2.0 model (apparently for a reason), so I went with it after seeing the mostly positive reviews.When I received the Yitong, I tested it on the downstream end of my already established MoCA network, and it seemed to work fine for my Roku. I later swapped out my older Actiontec ECB2500 that I had been using to establish the network at the router with the Yitong, and the resulting internet connection was very poor. I have Tivo minis on my MoCA network that couldn't connect to the internet reliably (e.g. netflix/amazon apps would load at a glacial pace or not at all). The Tivo minis would also fail their ports test when the Yitong was connected. I have since switched back to the Actiontec device, and everything is working fine.I have splitters, diplexers, and an amp in my coax network, so it's possible that some thing in that mess is not playing well with the Yitong or more generally with MoCA 2.0. Regardless, I think I'll pay the premium for the Actiontec the next time around.

Pretty good but hangs up every once in a while.

Before sharing my experience with this MoCA "converter" it must be noted that our DSL provider's speed is lousy no matter what we do. We live in a rural area and consequently have virtually no reasonable choices (satellite is expensive and slow) other than the local telephone company which is slow but faster than satellite and slightly less expensive. The main reason to go with MoCA is to establish a solid signal in various rooms in the house - wireless is erratic and there was always some loss of signal.My original setup used all Actiontec boxes and worked very well. After a few months we decided to add another room and we found this company's version on Amazon at a significant discount so decided to check it out. Bearing in mind our slow DSL signal, our experience shows no difference in performance between the two company's offerings with considerable cost savings. Time will tell if it is reliable and we have no idea if it performs as well with faster connections but we are very satisfied.

Could not get it to enable a MoCa network. Documentation is sparse and not really clear. Bought this to establish a MoCa network in my office were the cable modem was so I could interface my new Tivo's via coax. Plugged the devise into the cable modem wall outlet, then plugged the cable modem into the devise. Made the Ethernet connection between the device and the router. Nothing. Flipped the coax connections on the devise. Still nothing. Ended up moving cable modem and router to the living room entertainment area and interfaced the Tivo to the modem and had it serve as the MocA bridge.

Simple and straight forward device that I plugged in next to my main router and connected to cable. In another room where my Tivo box is I did not have wired ethernet available. Using MoCA support native to the Tivo Bolt I was able to easily get my Tivo on the network. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the higher than expected latency adder for this device. Pinging between a computer - switch - router - moca - tivo is about 4.6ms. computer - switch - AP - wifi - tivo is about 1.6ms. computer - switch - router - tivo (I ran a long cable) is .2ms.So I can only conclude that this added over 2ms latency to packets. In the end this is acceptable, but not an expected result.
