Upgrade your home networking with TRENDnet’s TMO-311C Ethernet Over Coax Adapter. Harness the power of MoCA 2.0 to turn your existing coaxial cable into a high-speed wired backbone that extends your network where Wi-Fi struggles. This compact, discreet black device delivers a reliable 1 Gbps net throughput, reducing wireless congestion and delivering smooth streaming, lag-free gaming, and robust connectivity for smart devices across multi-story homes. Perfect for homes with thick walls, basements, garages, or rooms far from the router, the TMO-311C brings unified performance without the expense of new ethernet runs or complex rewiring.

• MoCA 2.0 Backward Compatible: Creates a fast, wired backhaul over your existing coax network while remaining compatible with MoCA 1.0/2.0 devices, allowing seamless integration with your current gear.
• Gigabit LAN Port for High-Speed Devices: An integrated RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port connects directly to your router or Ethernet-enabled devices, delivering up to 1 Gbps of net throughput for streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.
• Supports Up to 16 Nodes on One Network: Scale your network easily by adding MoCA-enabled adapters in multiple rooms without sacrificing speed or reliability.
• Coax-Based Backhaul: One MoCA coax input and one coax output leverage your home’s existing coaxial cabling to extend a high-performance wired connection, reducing wireless interference and ensuring stable performance for bandwidth-intensive tasks.
• Plug-and-Play Convenience: Designed for simple setup with minimal configuration—just connect to your router, integrate with the coax network, and start enjoying faster, more reliable connectivity across your home.

Technical Details of TRENDnet TMO-311C

• MoCA Standard: MoCA 2.0 backward compatible (works with MoCA 1.0/2.0 networks).
• Interface: 1 x MoCA Coax input (F-Type Female coax input), 1 x TV Coax output (F-Type Female coax output), 1 x RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port.
• Net Throughput: Up to 1 Gbps.
• Node Capacity: Supports up to 16 MoCA nodes on a single network.
• Color/Construction: Black enclosure suitable for discreet placement near routers or media centers.

How to Install TRENDnet TMO-311C

• Step 1: Position the TMO-311C near your router and connect the router’s LAN port to the adapter’s RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port using a standard Ethernet cable.
• Step 2: Connect a coax cable from a nearby wall outlet to the MoCA coax input on the adapter, and connect another coax cable to the coax network via the TV coax output to ensure the MoCA signal can traverse the home’s coax infrastructure.
• Step 3: In the room where you want wired connectivity, place a second MoCA-enabled device or adapter and connect its Ethernet port to the device you want to network (PC, game console, streaming box, etc.).
• Step 4: Ensure both adapters are powered on. They will automatically negotiate and establish the MoCA link over your coax network without complex configuration.
• Step 5: Test the connection by running a speed test or streaming a high-definition video. If you have multiple rooms to cover, you can add more MoCA adapters up to the 16-node limit to expand coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is MoCA 2.0 and why should I use it?
MoCA 2.0 is a standard that uses your home’s coaxial cables to create a dedicated high-speed wired network backhaul. It delivers lower latency and higher reliability than wireless alone, making it ideal for 4K streaming, online gaming, and smart-home devices. TRENDnet’s TMO-311C is backward compatible with older MoCA devices, ensuring easy integration with existing gear.

Q: How many devices can I connect on a single MoCA network?
TRENDnet TMO-311C supports up to 16 MoCA nodes on one network. This allows multiple adapters and Ethernet-enabled devices across rooms to share the high-speed wired backbone without bottlenecks.

Q: Do I need to configure anything?
In most cases, MoCA adapters are plug-and-play. They auto-negotiate with your network and establish encryption where applicable. This minimizes setup time and makes it easy for non-technical users to improve home networking quickly.

Q: Can MoCA adapters work alongside my existing WiFi?
Yes. MoCA backhaul complements wireless networks by providing a stable wired link to access points or directly to devices, which can improve overall WiFi coverage, reduce interference, and enhance streaming and gaming experiences.

Q: Is the TRENDnet TMO-311C secure?
MoCA networks include built-in encryption and authentication features to protect data as it travels through the coax network, helping safeguard your home network from unauthorized access.
