Actiontec Single Dual-Band Wireless Network Extender and Ethernet Over Coax Adapter (WCB3000N)
The WCB3000N Wireless Network Extender, base stand, and a Quick Start Guide. This product needs to connect to a MoCA network, so you must have a MoCA-enabled device installed on your coaxial network, such as the Actiontec ECB2500C.
Fast ethernet speeds doesn't really add latency to the wired network.
I also bought the FIOS branded extender, directly from Verizon, and this Actiontec actually gave me better speeds!
Nice value for someone like me who does not want to crawl through the attic to run another CAT5 network line or does not trust the security and speed of WIFI (even 802.11ac).
The speeds i am getting from the extender are even slightly better than the main router itself!
getting much faster wifi speeds and cover a very good area.
This works super easy and is a great way to boost speeds and distance for Verizon FIOS users.
As mentioned in the title, the product works perfectly fine, my only issue lies in the fact that the cables listed on the product listing were not included.
It's worked great with our Verizon fios, now have 2 separate routers, the main one for the house, and this one for the garage.
I have verizon FiOS and this works great to extend the wifi signal and also add 5G
This actiontec extender was very easy to install, and is working great with strong signal for the 2.4G radio.
I bought it because of reviews and FAQ which stated that it worked with the Verizon FIOS Quantum Gateway router (which is what
n’t go wrong.
Since I have FIOS (and the excellent Actiontec MI424WR router already), I had high hopes, especially given all the great reviews.
My family doesn't approved of me taking the router into my room
I installed the Actiontec Wireless Network Extender over our existing coaxial cable and the problem was solved!If your wireless router has support for WPS
really just the best thing ever, bridge, switch, AP, are you kidding.
The real reason I bought this is for the ethernet over coaxial, and the best thing is the router from my
But the sad thing is I have full control of the router from my room
like I wanted to do - and you don't want to spend a lot of money in the process - then this ActionTec network extender is a good thing to try at a price that won't hurt your bank account.
As a direct Ethernet connection, this thing is incredible
My second floor rooms were dead internet spots on the FiOS service I have
I literally have faster internet than my first floor router
This device helped to deliver amazingly fast internet throughout my entire house.
worked fine, I now have good internet in my garage thru coaxial cable.
It did work, but there were CONSTANT conflicts, slow internet snags, and complete signal drops causing me to have to reboot the router and extender on many occasions.
This is a super-easy and affordable way to eliminate extend your WiFi connection using existing coaxial cables runs
Tha Actiontec MoCa extender works just the way it's supposed to.
I have no patience with things that don't work as they should, so I'll be returning the unit to Amazon for a refund.
But, it would be nearly impossible to find a less expensive way to extend your existing network in a way that's as fast as this is than purchasing 2 of these devices and a filter.
Easy way to add more wireless coverage to our home with our Verizon Fios
I recently purchased this to extend the wifi on my FiOS network in the house - it works as advertised, although there were no
I had been told that this would solve my problem (at the very least, give me a broader wifi range, as well as, the ability to connect my PS4 via Ethernet), so onwards I went
I have no patience with things that don't work as they should, so I'll be returning the unit to Amazon for a refund.
Like many of reviewers here, I was trying to find a wifi extender so that I could have the signal as strong as near the main router
After trying for a day to get it to work as advertised (reading on the internet, watching youtube videos and so forth), I decided to call Actiontec support
Taking one star away for missing coax cable, network cable and splitter
Included in the box are the WCB3000N Wireless Network Extender, 1 Ethernet cable, 1 coax cable, 1 power adapter, 1 coax splitter, base stand, and a Quick Start Guidewas missing coax splitter and coaxial cable and startup guide.
Literally just plugged in the coaxial cable and worked off the bat
I only needed to tone the cable outlet in the master bedroom to hook up the proper cable at the splitter
You must have an existing MoCa network or MoCa capable cable modem or a MoCa bridge adapter
I am missing all the following items which were all noted to receive.... 1 Ethernet cable, 1 coax cable, 1 coax splitter, base stand, and a Quick Start Guide.
the item worked fine.
I know you can set the ssid to the same name as the other router, but I’m pretty sure switching between signals is still unpredictable and even the $100+ items don’t fix this problem
I recommend this item for extending Wi-Fi on a FiOS network.
These missing items was a minor problem but still annoying as I did not need them, but again, if you are going to say it comes with it, you need to send it
Before I purchased this product I had a hard time getting a wifi signal to the rear bottom floor of my house
Needed to extend our wireless signal from one end of the house to the other via, we have Verizon FIOS, so it was very helpful to read other reviews that had the same Actiontec router from Verizon that we do, gave me confidence that this time (I have tried several other solutions) would work.
Now I have to spend more money and waste more time waiting on more parts before I can set this up.
300 times better than powerline and a wifi repeater
The Windows Network Troubleshooter usually fails the first few times I run it
I simply connected the coax to the cable outlet, using a splitter to connect it to the cable box, and suddenly Wifi just worked in an area that was a complete dead zone.
Signal is significantly improved and No dead zones anymore.
We had a dead zone 2 floors up from the router...and now we don't.
My existing cable modem had MOCA built-in, so all I had to do was hook it up to the coax outlet in my dead zone
Signal is significantly improved and No dead zones anymore.
