MoCA to the MAX | Maximum PC
Technology News, Computer and Notebook Reviews, Computer News, Computer Mods, PC News | Maximum PC.
Maximum PC gives NETGEAR’s MoCA adapters an 8/10 score and raves about the easy installation, speed and security of the product.
Setup is Joe-six-pack friendly: Just unplug the coax cable from your TV set and plug it into the Netgear MOCA adapter. Run a second coax cable from the adapter to the TV. TV signals are passed through transparently, so your American Idol viewing won’t be disturbed.
The reviewer also streams HD videos with no problem and gives his final verdict thusly: + Easily builds a secured, wired, network using existing coax cables, – Doesn’t work with satellite providers, VERDICT -> 8 (out of 10)

MoCA has landed in San Diego!!
San Diego Fry's
I went by the Fry’s here in San Diego to check out some home networking products and to my surprise, there it was: The Netgear MCAB1001 Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit . The Kit is going for $199 which includes two of these MoCA adapters. I’ve heard some good things about these, can’t wait to see what all the excitement is about.
MoCA Now at Fry’s!
MoCA at Fry's San Jose (Brokaw)
Just spotted at the Fry’s Electronics in San Jose, CA off Brokaw Road. Netgear MCAB1001 Coax-to-Ethernet adapters going for $199! It’s positioned solidly with the other 11N and Powerline bridges and looks good as part of the entire networking lineup. Fry’s had 8 units for sale and I need to check some of the other locations to see if they have the same. Come get ‘em while they’re hot!
First MoCA Bridge Review – Thumbs Up!
SmallNetBuilder.com just did the first review on the MoCA Ethernet-to-Coax bridge from Netgear (MCAB1001) and gave it a glowing thumbs up. They hooked up a pair of MoCA bridges and ran them through some difficult HD video tests in both the lab and in a home scenario and came up with this summary:
Simply put, MoCA is the only “alternative networking” technology that I have laid hands on that can reliably stream HD video—even 1080p. Of course, my limited test enviroment in no way presented a difficult test environment. But then again, my wireless environment is clean and so is my powerline. And neither of those technologies have been able to do what the NETGEAR MCA1001s did.
Wow, that’s a nice start to what will probably be a number of reviews that will be written on the new batch of MoCA products coming out. With all the new HD video streaming stuff that was shown at CES, it will be interesting to see how well the new HDTVs, Bluray Players, Tivos and Slingboxes work on a MoCA home network.
