U/TheAvantGardeners I am not saying that you should have 2 MoCAs on the same room. I’ve gotten speeds of 39 Gbit/sec over iPerf so it’s definitely able to saturate a gigabit connection. Speeds tests use multiple streams so that’s likely why your speedtest showed better results then iPerf. In contrast, if you use something like rclone to upload or download from a cloud provider, it’s common to use multiple streams to saturate your connection. Often times that download is a single TCP steam. This is the same reason BitTorrent is better at maxing out a gigabit WAN connection versus a HTTP download. You’ll notice the higher latency if you do a speed test on NVIDIA’s game streaming app over MoCA since it will complain about the latency. You generally don’t need multiple streams to saturate a gigabit or even a 10G connection on a twisted pair LAN but the latency is closer to 100 microseconds than the 3-5 milliseconds I saw on MoCA. By using multiple streams, you’re able to saturate the connection. Latency matters for TCP because of the round-trip time to acknowledge receipt of packets. MoCA has significantly higher latency than twisted pair Ethernet which itself has higher latency than fiber or direct attach copper. That's a topic for another discussion but it's almost criminal how companies can market the speeds of network devices.Īnyway, I'm satisfied with the performance as my use case was to improve streaming, not to use it for anything like file transfers.Īs well, I do have a Starlink MoCA kit on the way to compare against the one I do have and I'll end up keeping the better of the two kits. MoCA was a clear winner even though it didn't come anywhere near it's stated performance speed or anywhere near 1Gbit/sec. Wifi (AC, no AX in my house) - 35 Mbits/sec Using iperf3 on my laptop where the Shield resides, I ran series of tests against my main server running on a wired lan using bonded network interfaces so I knew there would be no bottlenecks there. I didn't have high expectations and I certainly wasn't surprised by the poor speeds which I why I also got MoCA devices to compare. Just a side note, I started off with trying some of the newer Netgear powerline adaptors. I have one unit connected to my main switch and coax port in my office and a second unit upstairs connected directly to the Nvidia Shield which sits near a coax port. Good timing on this post as I just purchased a couple of the Screenbeam (Actiontec) units to get a cable to an Nvidia Shield in a remote part of my house. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
