MoCA 2.5 Adapter – Dual 2.5Gbps Ethernet

World's First — Dual 2.5GbE in E-Band MoCA 2.5

Satellite TV and
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet.

KB-M3-02E — the only MoCA 2.5 adapter with two 2.5GbE ports built for Extended E-Band (400–900MHz) satellite TV homes.

Most MoCA adapters clash with satellite TV. The KB-M3-02E doesn't — it runs in the Extended E-Band, coexisting cleanly with DIRECTV, DISH, and other satellite systems, while giving you two full-speed 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports from a single coax outlet.

Two ports. Zero interference with your satellite signal.

MoCA's standard D-Band overlaps with satellite TV frequencies, causing pixelation and dropouts. The KB-M3-02E avoids that entirely by operating in the Extended E-Band (400–900MHz) — a frequency range that leaves your satellite signal untouched while still delivering two independent 2.5 Gbps Ethernet connections from a single coax outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I wire European multimedia coax outlets with MoCA 2.5?
For outlets with TV/R/SAT/DATA ports: connect your satellite STB to the SAT port, and the MoCA 2.5 E-Band adapter to the DATA or SAT/DATA port.
Don't use MoCA's TV port — outlet filters block the satellite IF range (950–2150 MHz) before it reaches the MoCA 2.5 adapter.
On the LNB side, use a 2-way SAT splitter (5–2150 MHz, DC power pass to LNB) — one input from the coax outlet (STB), the other from the MoCA device.
My satellite TV picture shows artifacts or pixelation when using the MoCA adapter with Extended E-Band. What should I do?
If you experience this issue using the Extended E-Band (400–900 MHz), please switch your MoCA adapter to use the standard E-Band (400–700 MHz). This prevents overlapping with satellite TV frequencies and stops interference. The E-Band firmware already sets the adapter to this band by default, so no extra steps are needed. You can download the E-Band firmware here.
Will the E-Band MoCA 2.5 adapter work with DIRECTV or DISH satellite TV?
Yes, it operates between 400 and 900 MHz, avoiding interference with satellite TV signals like DIRECTV and DISH.
Can I use E-Band MoCA with cable internet or DOCSIS modems?
No, the E-Band is designed exclusively for satellite TV environments and is not compatible with DOCSIS or CATV services.
What speeds can I expect with the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports?
You can achieve up to 2.5 Gbps on each port simultaneously, providing ultra-fast, stable wired connections.
How many adapters can I connect on an E-Band network?
Up to 16 devices can be connected for broad home network coverage.
Do I need special coax splitters for E-Band MoCA?
No special splitters are needed, since the frequency range is limited to 900 MHz, reducing compatibility issues.
What is the maximum distance supported by E-Band MoCA?
E-Band MoCA 2.5, operating at lower frequencies (400–900 MHz), offers better range and penetration than D-Band. It reliably supports distances of around 250–300 meters (820–985 feet) over coaxial cable — about 15–36% longer range than D-Band MoCA 2.5 adapters under typical conditions.
Is a MoCA filter required for E-Band adapters?
No, there are currently no PoE filters for this frequency range. Security can be enhanced using MoCA Protected Setup (MPS) passwords for your network.
Can I mix E-Band adapters with other brands?
Yes, as long as the other adapters also support the E-Band frequency range, you can mix brands while maintaining compatibility.
How do I enable MoCA encryption?
MoCA encryption is off by default. To enable it: log into the first adapter, open the "Security settings" menu, enable "Custom"/"E" under Network Security Setup and set your password, then save and reboot. For additional adapters, press the MPS button on the first adapter, then press MPS on each other adapter within 2 minutes — they'll pair automatically and copy the encryption settings, securing your MoCA network.

Setup & Tutorial Videos

► Check firmware and link rate for stable performance

If issues arise, check the adapter's firmware version and link rate. The link rate reflects the stability of the MoCA connection — a healthy rate is typically around 3500 Mbps.

► Switch from static IP to DHCP for automated management

Prefer the adapter to pull its management IP via DHCP? This guide walks through enabling DHCP on the device for easier, more flexible network management.

► Enable MoCA traffic security across your network

The Security feature protects data on your MoCA network from unauthorized devices. Every MoCA device must support and enable it — MoCA 2.5 devices generally do, but older ones may not. Verify your device types before enabling to avoid connection failures.

User Manual & Firmware

Firmware Downloads

Pick the right E-Band firmware for your setup

Both versions are built on MaxLinear SDK v1.18.13. The Extended E-Band firmware is already pre-installed on your unit — you only need the Standard E-Band version if you experience interference on your satellite signal.

400–700 MHz
Standard E-Band

Only if you have interference

Version 1.18.13.14

Restricts MoCA operation to 400–700 MHz to eliminate any overlap with satellite TV frequencies. Install this only if the pre-installed Extended firmware causes pixelation or interference on DIRECTV, DISH, or other satellite setups. It's the safer fallback for sensitive installations.

Download Firmware

Which one do I need? You don't need to download anything unless you're troubleshooting. Your unit already ships with the Extended E-Band firmware installed. Only switch to Standard E-Band if you notice pixelation or interference on your satellite TV picture.
