Your cart is empty.This third generation Cinema Connection Kit allows a DIRECTV system to connect to a router using an Ethernet cable. These can be powered by either a USB cable or external power supply. The kit contains 2 USB Broadband DECA, 2 Ethernet cables, and 2 power supplies. This unit can be used to run Ethernet over existing coax cable. The DECA network is a shared 200Mb/s, or the same speed as full duplex 100Mb/s Ethernet. Great for using right behind a router to pump internet over coax for a Whole Home DVR or Connected Home Setup This unit will connect to your router via an Ethernet cable, and then into an open port on one of your sws splitters to get the internet into the coaxial cable for the entire system

Was getting 20Mbps using a D-Link DHP-600AV for ethernet over power and was very unimpressed. Now that I have this installed I am getting 75-78 Mbps which is the fastest my provider offers in my area so this works very well for my needs.Took a few minutes for it to start working but finally kicked in and now I have way better speeds. A few websites were non responsive while others worked fine during my initial testing but after another few minutes that issue seems to have sorted itself out and everything works fine.

At the time I bought this set, we had DirecTV. We had an HR44-500 and a Genie Mini here in the house and a second Genie Mini in an external building away from the house. The second Genie was served by a buried coax cable that is about 300 feet in length. The HR44-500 has a built in wireless Deca to provide an internet connection to the system so that the Genies can function properly. My goal with the Deca's was to provide an internet connection to the external building for a smart TV.I started connecting the Deca system by disconnecting my HR44-500 from the Wi-Fi. Next I connected one of the Deca's via the provided ethernet cable to my ISP modem, then I ran a coax cable from the Deca to one of the terminals on the SWM splitter. Luckily my internet connection is close to the SWM splitter. Next I connected the provided power supply to the Deca and verified that I had an internet connection at the HR44-500. I then went to the external building and connected the other Deca to the SWM connector at that end. I then connected the Smart TV via an ethernet cable and connected the power supply to the Deca. I powered on the Smart TV and it connected to the internet. It's that easy! It provides an internet connection over the same coax cable without interfering with my DirecTV signal at all!With this Deca set I was able to provide a wired internet connection for my Directv setup and I used my existing coax cable to run an internet connection to a building that was too far away for a router to reach. If this hadn't worked, I was looking at either burying a Cat 6 cable or installing an expensive point to point wireless bridge to reach the other building.About a month ago I decided to cancel my DirecTV service and go with a streaming service instead. I sent back my DirecTV equipment and left the Deca's in place, along with all of the existing coax cables. My internet connection is still going strong at the second building. I can stream 4K content seamlessly. I recently installed a wireless access point at the second building and made it an extension of my home network. I used the same SSID and password as my home network so my devices will roam between access points as I go between the house and the other building. Having an access point at the other building means I can airprint and also access all the devices on my home network from the other building.I haven't had to touch this system since I installed it, it just works!

Work well and allow you to use existing or newly installed coax cable for connecting computers or any other devices via ethernet. Provides a stable and reliable connection allowing you to use coax cable to connect devices to your network switch or internet router without having to run new ethernet wire through your walls and is good when you need a constant hardwire reliable secure network connection dont want for things like security camera servers or nvrs which you wouldnt want to use wifi which has bandwidth limitations it is less reliable as it is less secure and is prone to signal loss which can result in dropped connections that can cause laggy video footage and dropped frames

The most difficult part of the install is probably figuring out the coax network of your home. You just have to be sure that the cables or wall plug you are using connect together. The little black boxes must be connected together by a coax cable. Then, you connect each little black box to a device via an ethernet cable. And obviously, you plug the power supply of the little black boxes to a power outlet.And voilà! It's plug and play. I get the maximum speed of 90mb/s that the device can provide which is all good since the maximum of my provider is 100mb/s. Way better speed than the wifi with it's 30mb/s or than a powerline adapter that gave me the same speed as wifi.Note that there was no instructions manual provided.

Saw another review stating that the " DIRECTV Broadband DECA Ethernet to Coax Adapter" worked for their Telus box, so thought I would give it a try. Our upstairs TV is simply too far from the low voltage panel and router location to get a strong signal, and my only wired option available was coax. Previously, the box was suffering from drop outs constantly in audio, and occasional freezing video, and this has completely solved that. I am using a regular HD box, not 4K, so can't speak to if it would keep up with needed data rate for that, but for regualr HD we are having zero drops in signal. This was plug and play out of the box; no tweaking needed. For Telus folks, the ethernet needs to be plugged directly into your Telus router, not into a 3rd party mesh (if you have that). I'm super happy that I can now turn off my Telus wifi and use my much more solid mesh system, with one less thing to interfere with the mesh signal.

I wanted a faster connection to my internet router than my WiFi was providing. While I have a 100mbs internet connection via Ethernet plugged into my router, I was only getting 45mbs over my WiFi connection. And in several parts of my house it was a low as 18mbs.I tried the "powerline" Ethernet devices that plug into your electrical outlets but while it improved the speed to 30-40mbs in parts of the house with a poor WiFi signal, I had intermittent issues. Sometimes the connection would drop speed dramatically or even lose the signal for a few seconds periodically. I suspect it was related to other electrical appliances that would kick in around the house that muddied the signal. In any case, I had to send those back as it was too unreliable.I then ran across these devices that would use the existing coax in my house and since I not longer had a Coax TV service in my house the cable had no signals at all on them. In addition, since these were so inexpensive I decided to give that a try.The setup was easy as all I had to do was go to where all the coax connections were still tied together from my old dish-based TV service and reconnect the cables. I found the cable that went to the room where my internet router was and changed that to the input. Then made all the other cables outputs on the splitter.I hooked up one of these devices to the router and screwed the cable into the coax connection in the wall. Then, I went to the room where my home office is and connected to the coax connection there and plug the Ethernet cable into my computer.I immediately had a 80mbs connection running into my laptop! I have used it for a week now and have not experienced a single signal drop or other issue. All is working perfectly! I also have the flexibility to move my laptop to any room where i have a Coax connection and just plug in to get the same speeds. Very nice!

My wireless router is on the main floor of my house, and my WFH area is in the basement.The wifi to other floors have never been 100% stable, so I bought a Wifi extender (and regretably did not get a dual-band extender, which are more expensive), so although my connection was better, but bandwidth was cut considerably. So I looked for a hardwired solution.At first I considered running Ethernet though my floor and finished basement ceiling (which would be ugly), then I found alternatives such as Powerline adapters and Ethernet over Coax, I did a bit of research into those, and found that Ethernet over Coax was generally more stable. Both types of adapters seemed to be expensive until I found these. Fortunately I had a coax drop near my router and in my WFH room, and easily patched them together at my coax demarcation point. My connection has been much more stable, the ping is just a bit slower than Wifi, but I pretty much almost have the same bandwidth as the service I have.In comparison:Wifi: ping 23ms, download 5Mbps, upload 10MbpsCoax: ping 27ms, download 45Mbps, upload 10.7MbpsDefinitely recommend as an alternative.
