MoCA adapters (We recommend
any MoCA adapter kit that can
transfer speeds over 100 Mbps.
Most MoCA Ethernet adapter kits
support 200 Mbps or higher)
Powerline AV adapters (e.g.,
HomePlug 1.0 AV). HomePlug
Alliance-certified Powerline AV
adapters can enable a reliable
high speed network connection
of up to 200 Mbps. Powerline AV
adapters with a lower throughput
are unlikely to work for multi-
room configurations.
