Oh, so you can connect several devices to the same "shared" coax cable around the house?
How is it? Is it really 2.5gbps or is it like Powerline adaptors that are an order of magnitude slower than their advertised speed? :P

There is a latency hit when using MoCA compared to Ethernet:
MoCA: 192.168.0.1 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 10/10/0%, min/avg/max = 3.24/4.02/4.64
Ethernet: 192.168.0.1 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 10/10/0%, min/avg/max = 0.365/0.461/0.515
Fiber ONT/Modem -> Access Point -> MoCA adapter 1 -> Coax Splitter
Coax Splitter -> MoCA adapter 2 -> Switch -> bunch of devices
Coax Splitter -> MoCA adapter 3 -> Switch -> Access Point + bunch of devices
Coax Splitter -> MoCA adapter 4 -> Access Point
the MoCA adapters actually report 3Gbps+ between each other, but my access points only have gigabit Ethernet so that's my bottleneck.
There are different standards of coaxial cable (RG-6, RG-59, etc). If you see low speeds with MoCA, it is probably a cable problem and not an adapter problem.
