HTEM4 Speeds Explained – What to Expect with 1 Gbps Ethernet
The HTEM4 uses MoCA 2.5 technology, but it features a 1 Gbps Ethernet port. Here's what that means for performance:
MoCA 2.5 Network Speed:
Up to 2.5 Gbps of shared bandwidth over coax
Supports multiple devices with low latency
HTEM4 Ethernet Speed:
Capped at 1 Gbps per adapter
Still excellent for:
4K/HD streaming
Online gaming
Remote work
Mesh WiFi backhaul
Why It's a Great Fit:
Most homes have Internet plans under 1 Gbps.
Provides consistent wired performance where the WiFi is weak.
Better value than more expensive 2.5 GbE models if your router/network doesn’t support Ethernet speeds over 1 Gbps.
Consider Upgrading to the HTEM5 MoCA Adapters If:
You have a 2.5 Gbps or faster Internet plan.
Your devices and router support multi-gig (over 1 Gbps) speeds.
