![]() In either case, cable TV viewers and cord cutting families alike can use the wires already in your home to transmit fast Ethernet-like signals from your router to other rooms in your home. Though MoCA adapters are measurably faster than powerline networking, they aren’t our top pick because electrical outlets are exponentially more prevalent in homes than coax hookups, which makes placing a powerline adapter much more convenient than MoCA adapters. MoCA adapters work similarly to powerline adapters, but use the coaxial (cable TV) wires installed in many homes to carry networking signals. You’ll always have a power plug next to a spot where you want a better network connection, but if you have a cable TV outlet at the same location, a MoCA adapter like the Trendnet TMO-311C2K will transfer data much more quickly, according to our testing. Three contenders had only a single year of coverage. Warranty: It’s not the most important feature, but we gave extra points to powerline kits with two- or three-year warranties.Powerline adapters should always be plugged directly into the wall-not into a power strip-and kits without power passthrough will block one or both of your wall outlets. Power passthrough: It’s not a dealbreaker, but we prefer powerline kits with 110 V passthrough outlets on the front.They come in handy if you need “just one more connection” and don’t want to bother with an additional network switch for a media streaming box and a desktop PC in the same room. Extra Ethernet port(s): Having an extra Ethernet connection (or two) is a boon for smart homes. ![]()
