![]() All of the best cable modem contenders we've assessed work with major ISPs in the U.S. You'll need to find a modem that works with your internet service, but that's not a huge challenge. Since the best cable modems will set you back $60 or so, it's an expense that pays for itself in less than six months. Most cable modems also have a lifespan of two to three years. Over the course of a year, that's potentially $168 that could have stayed in your pocket if you used your own modem. The only way you would get a better connection in your home is to have ethernet cable run through it.That fee for renting a modem is nothing to sneeze at - it's as much as $14 a month with some internet providers. If you have TV then you need to include the Zipply/Frontier router somewhere in the mix to handle that signal, and that router IS a MOCA adaptor, and the technical part becomes in setting up the Google Wi-Fi and Zipply/Frontier device so the play nicely together.īut really these things are supper easy and just work. ![]() *The scenario I've described above, assumes no TV service. You only need one and it should be placed as close to the first MOCA adaptor as possible. This is fixed with a 'POE filter' that should come with the MOCA adaptor. * There's going to be 'noise' on the coax line which can degrade the signal. Plug in a new MOCA adaptor, attach to the coax cable at the wall outlet, plug a ethernet cable into the MOCA adaptor, plug the ethernet cable into the device (PC, laptop, xbox, TV, etc.). Go to each room where you want to have a wired connection. Once you get that set, you are sending an "internet signal" into your homes coax cables. Once the "internet" gets to your home via whatever magical method, all you need to care about is that ethernet cable coming into your home that is presently plugged into the Google Wi-Fi mesh router.Įthernet cable from ONT -> Google WiFI router -> 'new cable out of Google WI-FI router into MOCA adaptor' -> 'Screw Coax cable into MOCA adaptor' It's not a matter of "does it work with Zipply". ![]() You will need at least 2.ĭon't over think this. Not 2.0 There's some on Amazon for $60 apiece. If you want to get the most out of the gigabit connection you want the latest version 2.5 MOCA standard. The issue is, I don't entirely know how this works with Ziply since all I got is an ethernet cord to my Google WiFi router.ĭoes anyone have some insight on how I can get internet through my coax so I can hardwire my remote mesh pucks? I have been reading up on MoCA adapters and the ability to use the existing coax ports to funnel internet throughout the home. My Google WiFi mesh pucks do an OK-ish job of getting internet to the other side of my home, but I want to improve this without running a long wire to the middle of my house (this is not an option). I don't understand how Ziply Fiber works, but the current setup that I have is the ONT is installed outside and an ethernet line is running into my home straight to my Google WiFi router (no modem, no additional Ziply provided equipment). I have been trying to research some solutions to try to get the other side of my house to get similar speeds with my Google Wifi router. I recently got the 1gig service with Ziply and everything is working great.
