Oh, and the reason these adapters failed to work with your CATV signals on the same coax. Is because their operating frequency bands overlap one another and thus mutually interfere with each other. As the G.hn wave 1 over coax standard operates between 5-100 MHz. And the wave 2 over coax is between 5-200 MHz. CATV typically uses between 5-42 MHz for upstream internet data. And between about 54 to possibly up to around 1000 MHz for both downstream internet data and cable TV signals. So while you don't necessarily need an available "dark" coax cable to use these adapters. You must be careful to be sure their operating frequencies don't overlap (or come near to) with those of others on the same cable. Such as with my situation where they don't overlap with the satellite signals.
Hey thanks for this .... Been using a pair of the older version of these, the GCA-1200 (Wave 1) to extend ethernet connectivity over an existing coax cable to a detached garage used to carry DIRECTV satellite signals to a receiver located there. They work fine with no mutual interference with the satellite signals. But hate that I dropped about $90 on those, when if I had waited a little longer I could have saved that money and applied it toward this faster Wave 2 model which is going for about $140 for the pair. 😬 ...
Also, of note ... Confusingly, these same adapters are apparently marketed under two different brand names, "Nexuslink" and "Comtrend." Where the Wave 1 Nexuslink GCA-1200, which I have. Is the same as the Comtrend GCA-6000. However, while the Wave 2 Nexuslink GCA-2000 in the video made it to market. The Wave 2 Comtrend model of them, the GCA-7000, never did, and seems to have been canceled. EDIT: Ohoops, my bad on the last part of this comment.... It seems the Wave 2 Comtrend brand of these adapters (GCA-7000) did finally make it to market after all .... And was even reviewed some months earlier by this same author in the video. ... ruclips.net/video/04-81uno5mo/видео.html My apologies...
@huy3148 ; To be honest... While benchmark testing may show a difference, with the exception of their operating on different frequency bands. I don't really see a difference in performance between the two types of adapters. MoCA vs. G.hn over coax. MoCA is much more popular and readily available from a number of distributors of course. Whereas for the G.hn over coax adapters, I've only found the Wave 1 & 2 versions these in the video marketed under two different brand names. "Comtrend" and "Nexuslink" .....
I live in an apartment building. Does this adapter require a filter, similar to the type required for MOCA Adapters? Also, I have an Arrus SBG8300 modem is this adapter compatible with that modem?

Thanks for sharing! Looks super easy to install!
Never heard of this! Thank you
This is very informative

@@H.T.2forever How is it comparing to Moca adapter?

Very informative , thank you
Hey
Will these new ones integrate into the old network (6k series?)?
I live in an apartment building. Does this adapter require a filter, similar to the type required for MOCA Adapters? Also, I have an Arrus SBG8300 modem is this adapter compatible with that modem?
What if you have fiber and there is no modem?? How do you do this?
Thank you
God Bless you 🙏
awesome
Awesome hope to win💓🌲💓💓💓
What's the difference between GCA-2000- kit and the GCA-7000- kit? Thanks
Did you ever find an answer? I want to know the difference as well.
do these work with Unicable?
I am trying to learn all this new technology! I am so lost LOL
Hi Marla! We'd love to help :) what is the problem you're trying to solve?
