Ethernet over coax question

I have a coax cable running from the front house to the back house and want to connect my router to the iMac back there that serves up music and movies etc to the rest of the house. It's currently connected via wifi, but there are dropouts etc.
I've been pointed to a few different devices that can run ethernet over coax, such as this one:
http://www.netsys-direct.com/proddet...NH-310C&cat=27
there are a variety of them, and they all seem to say they have speeds in the 100mps to at the most 500 mps. My questions is this. How fast are current Airport and Ethernet speeds? I know they speak of Gigabit wireless, so does that mean 1000mps and up?
If I'm currently using wireless in this case, do you think switching to coax would slow things down a lot, or would it work ok?
thanks!

802.11g aka "wireless-g" has a maximum theoretical speed of 54 megabits/second.
802.11n "wireless-n", has a maximum theoretical speed of 300 megabits/second, but to attain that it requires near-perfect conditions. It's normal to observe less than half that in actual use.
These vary according to many environmental phenomena that influence radio propagation. Observed speeds tend to be considerably less. "Gigabit Ethernet" isn't so influenced, but may also be less than 1000 Mb/s due to other network factors.

Ethernet over Coax advice pls. HFC or uBR ?

Hi Guys,
Am well out of my depth and was looking for some advice on providing ethernet over a customers existing coxial network. EoC.
The customer is a large holiday resort who provide via coxial cable, TV to each of their cabins.
The system that they have is a WISI Topline headend system with

I have attached some images of these products.
What i need is to provide wifi out to the cabins and am looking ofr a system that can either provide an ethernet connection or a residential router with wireless built in.
I have been looking at universial Broadband Routers -

I understand i am not providing much information but this is not my area of knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

Can you please provide some examples of such gateways that can carry this thoughput?
On the same sidenote: I tried to use a different Router at my office and replace the AE from Apple with an Asus rt-n56u that that been tested to provide massive throughput (one if not the fastest routers out there) but it's a mainstream products not a high end enterprise one. Moreover i would approach the same way for home if not for countless problems i encountered with this router (eg: router will not forward VPN properly).

Question about ethernet over coax?

I was wondering if anyone has any advice.
Here is my setup, I have
1) MI424WR router installed at one location. I have an ethernet switch connected to the router to carry ethernet all over the house. The MI424WR is connected to fios with a coax cable.
2) I have a coax cable ( connected to the fios) at a location where I cannot get an ethernet cable and where I have a computer that I would like to connect to the network. . I was wondering if I can connect something to that coax cable that would connect it to the network and allow me to connect the computer at that spot?
Thanks in advance
Joe

below are some ways for you to do what you would like to do. just keep in mind that those are advanced set ups and not supported over the phone or by technician at verizon, so you can do them at your own risk type of thing, and the only support you'll really have is from online users. . If your a DIY (Do it yourself) kinda guy, then these should work,

Gigabit network over coax

Hello all,
I am trying to figure out if I can run a gbps network over coax. The situation is this and forgive me if I use the wrong terms.
1) ONT to Main Router (old Actiontecvia ver. F) is connected via COAX. Cat 5A from computer to router.
2) Second Router in basement (Ver F), as MOCA bridge, via COAX. PS3 wired to Router 2 via CAT5
Here are the questions.
1) I'm considering the Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH to eliminate one or more of my existing settop boxes. The information about the CETON says I should have a gigabyte network to best accomidate use of the tuner, and based on my exisitng equipment, I need to upgrade. I am happy to buy the new "GigE" router to do this.
2) However, I have also read that I will not be able to get the speed I need from COAX. Running CAT 5a or 6 is not an option, I have to use the existing COAX connections for the various rooms in the house.
3) So, can I get true Gig Networking using the COAX?
4) Do I need TWO new Routers (one to replace the main router and one to replace the one in the basement)?
I'm willing to invest in the upgrade, but only if I can get the network speed over the COAX connection. Again, thanks for any advise you can provide.

No, gigabit over current 1.0 and 1.1 (and even the newer version 2.0) of MoCA cannot do Gigabit. If you do get one of the higher speed tiers from Verizon they will connect you via ethernet to the ONT and give you a gigabit router.

Ethernet over Mains solution??

Hi All, at the moment my desktop PC is hardwired into the router but due to building work that needs to change, at least temporarily. So I’m thinking about Ethernet over Mains adaptors. While I’m doing it I would really like an adaptor by the TV. So I need three devices, one for the router, one for the TV and one for the desktop.
I know that these things don’t share surge adaptors and a few other things and I’m not quite sure about putting one on a standard extension lead, so I’m looking for adaptors with pass through mains.
If it makes a difference I already have a Devolo dLan 500 AVtriple+ on the way from Amazon that I ordered thinking it was a triple pack, not a single triple adaptor but £60+ I was expecting to get the solution for that not a single device. Also I don’t need them to be wireless and I only get 5mbps broadband and if I need a high volume transfer between devices, which is rare, I would be ok plugging into the router which is a home hub 2.
Having already messed up I am starting my research again but thought I would ask here in case somebody has already solved this or has any advice.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Thompson,
I have just set up a powerline network, using devolo devices.
So, basically you want to plug your router into a network device, so your internet connection can be shared remotely by your PC and your TV/Sky using ethernet cables? Devolo do three pack setups, in the following guises - the second option having powerline pass through connectors...
You could go for either this:
Devolo dLAN 500 Duo Network Kit
or this (power pass through):
Devolo dLAN 500 Duo Plus Network Kit
I am only stating devolo as I have knowledge of them, and are a piece of cake to set up - literally plug in and away you go, you don't even have to bother with the software that comes with them to monitor the network if you don't want to, although it is worth it as it will auto detect the firmware on the devices and let you know if there are updates available.
Devolos support seems pretty good as well, I am currently in the middle of a very extensive email exchange with their support team in Germany because i emailed them purely enquiring why I couldn't see a device on an old laptop using their software.They have been very helpful so far.
Dare I say it I would stick with the 500mbps as devolo no longer produces the 200 versions, although are still available from various outlets.
You could buy another make, getting a two pack and a third single adaptor, but I don't think there will be much difference in price when all told. At least with the above packs they are all in one box.
For additional information, I don't find these drop off in terms of speed that much. I have a device plugged in upstairs which is connected to my router, then I have a 500Av Triple + Wireless downstairs, into which is linked a slingbox and my sky box, and a wii connected wirelessly. The transfer speed between the two devices shows 494mbs, so a drop off of 6mbs. I also have an older 200 Av in another room, which shows a transfer speed of around 178mbs.
Hope the above helps.

I updated to Yosemite and now I can't open my YNAB finance app. There is a question mark in the Dock where the App should be and when I hover over the question mark it does say YNAB but I can't open it.

I updated to Yosemite and now I can't open my YNAB finance app. There is a question mark in the Dock where the App should be and when I hover over the question mark it does say YNAB but I can't open it. When I double click on the question mark nothing happens. Has the link to YNAB been broken with the update? Has this happened to anyone else?

Check the Application folder.
If it is not there, contact YNAB Finance for a OS X Yosemite compatible version of the application.

Metro Ethernet over Docsis

Hello Gurus,
I would like to know a bit more about this tecnologie (Metro Ethernet over Docsis).
I work for a cable companie and we would like to know the implicationd of implementing such a technologie.
If we go for a CPE based aproach we only have to configure a CPE like the Cisco 1805 in each costumer end-point?
Which configurations does the CMTS and backbone require?
What are the maximum speed we can offer with this technologie running on HFC?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sample Configuration For Ethernet over MPLS.

I am looking for a sample configuration and scenario for the Ethernet over MPLS.I would appreciate if I get some explaination with it.How the LDP is configured for the directed sessions (as per Martini draft) and the auto discovery (as per kompella draft) with respect to Ethernet over MPLS.Cam anyone help me in this ?

Here's a sample EoMPLS configuration on the PE routers:
R1:
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
interface Ethernet0/0.10
encapsulation dot1Q 10
! 10 = vcid must match the vcid configured on the other side
mpls l2transport route 2.2.2.2 10
R2:
interface Loopback0
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255
interface Ethernet0/0.10
encapsulation dot1Q 10
mpls l2transport route 1.1.1.1 10
The LDP directed session will be setup automatically by the router when the xconnect statement is configured.
Cisco IOS doesn't support the Kompella Draft.

Ethernet over HDMI from ThinkPad E330 to Samsung TV

Hello:
I need to know if my lenovo ThinkPad E330 with HDMI 1.4 port can send ethernet over HDMI 1.4 EC cable to a new Samsung TV with HDMI 1.4a port, or vice versa. The TV has DNLA and other internet features.
Thanks

In principle, HDMI 1.4 includes EC in it's standard, but it's pretty uncommon AFAIK.

Ethernet over hdmi?

does apple tv support ethernet over hdmi?

There is a reason. The whole reason why Ethernet over HDMI exists is to make it possible to have one physical Ethernet connection provide the needed connectivity to several devices tthat have HDMI. Ethernet over HDMI eliminates the need to have a local switch.

Moving router (ethernet and coax?)

So, I apologize if this is redundant to other posts.
I have a FIOS router that is currently running on ethernet (I think so at least. The light for ethernet is on while the coax is out). It is hooked up to both the ethernet from the outside and the coax. I understand the need for the coax connection for my FIOS TV apps and whatnot.
Here's my issue. My ethernet was installed without a jack. The installer just ran a straight line into the room and put a plug on the end. I need to move the router out to another part of the house as I need the room for a baby room. I tried just unplugging and relocating, but it clearly doesn't work for internet without the ethernet cord.
Here's my question. Can I have FIOS just switch me over to a coax system? Is there a charge for this? Are there benefits/issues with doing this?
Thanks in advance...
Mike

There are only two very old models of the ONT (610,611) that do not support a MOCA WAN (coax) connection.
Unless your FIOS installation is very old (2006 or so), it's unlikely you have one of those ONTs.
You don't mention what speed tier you're on. Ethernet installs are required for speed tiers over 100Mbps.
So if you have a speed tier over 100Mbps, that would preclude switching to a coax WAN connection.
If neither of the above items are a factor, then you can be switched to a coax WAN connection by a phone call to VZ.
There is no charge for doing this by phone.

Help with WRT54GS on FiOS (ethernet, not coax)

Hey guys, I'm new here and just trying to get some help with this unsolvable problem that I just started having with my Linksys WRT54GS and Verizon FiOS last week.
To simplify my full story and actual issue here, I put it all into points to try and make it simpler to understand:
-In Fall of 2007, I switch from Comcast to Verizon FiOS after getting screwed over waiting for two weeks and never getting a new router, as the first one was fried in a thunderstorm
-Little brother knocks over the first Actiontec router and it breaks
-Actiontec replacement router's wireless is nonexistant (MI42WR)
-After trying out bridging the Linksys to the Actiontec, it proves to be much more of a pain than actual solution to lack of wireless
-Switched from coax to full cat5 ethernet last year to use Linksys WRT54GS
-Been happily directly connected from ONT to Linksys WRT54GS via cat5 ethernet for the past year while the wireless is perfect for the other computers
(last week)
-Turned off Linksys router for one night last week to give it an over night rest
-Has not been able to connect to Verizon with old WRT54GS or brand new WRT54GL router (That I'm now returning)
-ONT ethernet light outside still has a green light indicating it's working
-I do not want to bridge the Actiontec and Linksys again
-I do not want to go back to using the Actiontec for anything, but stuck with it for now
-Has reset the connections of the router, computer and released the DHCP plenty of times, but to no avail
-Has upgraded the firmware of my WRT54GS before typing this and still nothing
-No connection for any Linksys router, but the Actiontec works
I can't think of a solution except perhaps trying one from another company, like D-Link.. (sad face) I'm already returning the new router on monday, since I don't believe that my WRT54GS is even broken if the new one isn't connecting either. So I'm just thinking that perhaps Verizon has done something that isn't allowing any of my Linksys routers to connect, since they happily started charging me an extra $10-12 on the FiOS bill without notice. Though at this point, I have a hard time believing that even switching to another router company and using their products will do anything for me..
At this very moment, I'm suffering with this awful stock Verizon router and my parents and aunt have been complaining for the past two weeks. Hopefully someone here knows what the real problem may be that can chime in with some help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yep, I sure have done exactly what you said to do. I wasn't able to edit my post, but that's exactly what I had to do when I was doing tests with the Verizon technician over the phone. I also reset all of the settings within my computer and browsers.. Still, the only router that works is the Actiontec router that I have been trying to avoid. The other Verizon techs during the day don't help at all, but the one time I called at like 2am at least TRIED to help me out with my Linksys router..
I've even gone as far as switching the ethernet cable from the ONT that goes to the WAN port of the Linksys to go to the computer's ethernet port and moving the other end to the Lan 1-4 jacks, while using a whole new cable for the ONT --> Linksys WAN.
I still got the green light from the ONT and I still got no connection from Verizon.. There's no way I'm switching out from Verizon FiOS, but this is really giving me a headache trying to solve this issue.
