Coax IN

Two ports. One coax cable. Zero rewiring.

Here's how it works: the coax already running through your walls becomes a high-speed data line the moment you plug in the KB-M3-02. No electrician, no new cable runs, no drilling through walls or floors — just connect the coax jack and you're done. The dual ports mean that one outlet, in one room, can now serve two devices at full speed instead of one.

Why People Choose the KB-M3-02

Streamlined endpoint setup

Simplify your installation. The KB-M3-02 acts as a high-performance bridge that eliminates the need for an additional network switch at your destination point, reducing power clutter and saving valuable outlet space.

Real, tested throughput

iperf-verified 2.5 Gbps performance — not theoretical numbers. Built on the MaxLinear MxL3710 + GPY211 PHY.

Low latency for gaming

Adds just 3–4 ms — dramatically more stable than Wi-Fi for competitive play and video calls.

Mesh backhaul ready

Give Eero, Orbi, Ubiquiti or any mesh a wired backbone for faster, more reliable whole-home coverage.

Truly plug & play

Connect coax and Ethernet — that's it. No software, no configuration for most setups.

Backward compatible

Works alongside MoCA 1.1 / 2.0 / 2.5 gear from GoCoax, Actiontec, ScreenBeam and more.

Typical setup: router on one port, a games console or NAS on the other — both running at full 2.5 Gbps from the same wall jack.

Why two ports change everything

Is the KB-M3-02 right for you?

10-second check — pick your situation below.

✅ Perfect fit — get it

  • You have coax outlets in the rooms you want to connect
  • You want wired Ethernet without running new cables — even for just one device today
  • You might add a second device later (NAS, console, mesh node, smart TV) — the second 2.5GbE port is already there, no extra hardware needed
  • You want to keep cable TV working on the same coax line
  • High-demand use: gaming, 4K streaming, NAS, mesh backhaul

⚠️ Check first

  • No coax outlets in your home — MoCA requires coax
  • Satellite TV (Dish, DirecTV) — use the KB-M3-02E (E-Band) instead, which is designed for satellite coax
  • Your ISP actively blocks MoCA on their coax network — verify with them first
Why MoCA 2.5

Built for the way modern homes use bandwidth

Wherever Wi-Fi falls short, the KB-M3-02 gives you a wired-quality connection without running a single new cable.

Common questions before you buy

"Will it actually work with my setup?"

If your home already has coax outlets (from cable TV or older internet wiring), this plugs straight in. No new cabling needed.

"Is setup complicated?"

For most homes, no — connect coax and Ethernet and it's online. Advanced settings exist for edge cases (see the setup guides below) but aren't required for typical use.

"What if I'm not happy with it?"

30-day returns through Amazon, plus a 1-year warranty if anything goes wrong after that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this MoCA adapter different from other brands?
It's the world's first and only MoCA 2.5 adapter with dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, letting you connect two high-speed devices simultaneously at full 2.5 Gbps from a single coax outlet — a feature no other adapter offers.
What real-world speeds can I expect?
iperf testing shows consistent 2.5 Gbps throughput under optimal conditions. The total MoCA 2.5 link provides roughly 3 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth.
Can I use both 2.5G ports at full speed simultaneously?
Yes. Both ports can run at 2.5 Gbps at the same time, sharing the total MoCA 2.5 bandwidth of approximately 3 Gbps — perfect for feeding a router plus a high-speed device, or two separate network segments.
Is it compatible with DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems?
Yes, though some DOCSIS 3.1 modems may need a quick tweak. Open the adapter's GUI at 192.168.144.200, switch to "D-band High only" mode, and set the LOF (Lowest Operating Frequency) to 1400 MHz to avoid overlap with DOCSIS 3.1 frequencies.
How much latency does it add for gaming?
Only 3–4 milliseconds — excellent for competitive gaming and real-time applications, and far more consistent than Wi-Fi.
Will it work as wired backhaul for my mesh Wi-Fi?
Absolutely. It's ideal for mesh backhaul, delivering stable wired links that significantly outperform wireless backhaul. Compatible with Ubiquiti, Eero, Orbi and other mesh systems.
Can I mix it with other MoCA brands?
Yes. It's backward compatible with MoCA 1.1, 2.0 and 2.5 and works with brands like GoCoax, Actiontec and ScreenBeam. Overall speed is limited by the slowest adapter on the network.
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 "D-Ext" 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

Step-by-step guides for every configuration — most users are live in under 5 minutes.

Interference Fix

Configure D-Band High to eliminate DOCSIS 3.1 interference

Shift to D-Band High (1350–1675 MHz) and apply a 1400 MHz LOF on every adapter for a rock-solid, interference-free MoCA link.

Performance Check

Check firmware & link rate for stable performance

Verify your firmware version and MoCA link rate. A healthy link rate is ~3500 Mbps — this guide shows you how to confirm everything is optimal.

Network Config

Switch from static IP to DHCP for automated management

Enable DHCP so the adapter pulls its management IP automatically — easier to manage across multiple adapters and network changes.

Security

Enable MoCA traffic security across your network

Enable D-Ext encryption and use MPS pairing to protect data on your MoCA network from unauthorized access across all adapters.
