details: 802.11n WiFi Network Extender with MoCA
hardware type: Wireless Range Extender
date added: 2017-05-07

The WiFi Network Extender WCB3000N, MoCA or Ethernet-based Wireless Network Extender extends a homeowner's Wi-Fi network to an area of the home where wireless coverage was previously weak, such as a dead zone in the 2nd floor bedroom or 1st floor family room.

It uses the coax wiring that's already in your home to extend the wireless signal, resulting in a strong and fast whole-home Wi-Fi network.

You don't have to worry about interference problems from home phones, baby monitors, microwaves, or any other devices operating in the 2.4GHz band. You can use the cleaner, less crowded 5 GHz band for video streaming to the home theater for the smoothest viewing experience possible.

The WCB3000N WiFi Network Extender communicates directly with your Actiontec router over your home’s existing network. The extender takes the credentials from your existing Wi-Fi network and creates a second network with the same name. This means that your devices go from one network to the other, seamlessly.

The router has one MoCA 1.1/1.0 Coaxial jack.
