    Actiontec Single Dual-Band Wireless Network Extender and Ethernet Over Coax Adapter (WCB3000N)

    • You will also need to purchase a Actiontec MoCA adapter ECB2500CK01 unless you have a MoCA capable Modem/Router.
    • The only issue is that Comcast defaults to the MOCA connectivity turned off, so every time they refresh the router or update the firmware, the MOCA network is shut off and I have to access the router setting to turn it back on.
    • Pros:- Easy setup, pretty much plug it in and it works.- Can use the one button WPS setup to clone your existing router- Decent WiFi
    • My family doesn't approved of me taking the router into my room
    • Replaced MoCA-connected TiVo Mini (which was subsequently reconnected to the WCB3000N via RG45).Spectrum Internet service is via their provided ARRIS TM1602A modem and Sagecom Fast 5260 router to a TiVo Roamio Plus,which bridges LAN to coax.
    • I've tried several more powerful routers and placing them everywhere, but I wish I had learned about this extender
    • 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
    • I bought it because of reviews and FAQ which stated that it worked with the Verizon FIOS Quantum Gateway router (which is what
    • Easy to install and secure as cable company supplied router.
    • Like many reviewers, the wireless router in my home is located in a corner of the house, so reception is weak on the other side and in the garage (where I spend a lot of my time.)
    • I have a MoCA capable Modem/Router made by Motorola, but for some reason I could not get them to pair up, so I purchased the adapter.
    • stated this particular device was made to work with a Time Warner modem/router and would not work on my Infinity/Comcast.
    • I have Verizon FIOS service with the excellent Actiontec MI424WR router that is located in my family room which, unfortunately, is located to the far right side of the first floor of my two story 1924 era stucco house
    • These work best IMO when you set them up as their own SSID (separate from your main router or just turn your main router WiFi off and add one of these at your router (work as extenders, not as repeaters of your main Wifi in my experience).
    • Since I have FIOS (and the excellent Actiontec MI424WR router already), I had high hopes, especially given all the great reviews.
    • So far, a great router.
    • n’t go wrong.
