I’ve been using the MCAB1001 for several months now and I can tell you this is simply the best solution if you can’t go wired. Yes, it is more expensive than powerline adapters but it well worth the extra money. My MCAB1001 have been running flawlessly24/7 since the day I installed them. Tests I’ve performed showed that I simply top my 100 mbps switch when transfering between two computers. Simply the best. Thanks Netgear.

The directions for the product are poor. There is nothing about configuring tcp/ip settings. Does Netgear expect everyone to have netgear routers using default settings? I am sending mine back.

Actually, I kind of like this product because of the built in switch. Most of these types of products only offer one ethernet port. With this you could hook up a Xbox 360 (or PS3), Directv box, Blu-ray player and Web-ready TV with this one device. It’s still overpriced though in my opinion.

Hi, it’s Chris Geiser, I’m the Product Line Manager for NETGEAR for the MoCA Bridge kit. The MoCA product does allow for >100 Mbps speeds, but it’s based on bi-directional throughput, so you’ll need to be simultaneously be sending and receiving data. The max real-world data rate is closer to 160-170Mbps than the 270Mbps PHY Rate quoted in the MoCA 1.1 standard.
