I have 50mbit cable and was never able to get this thing to run over 20mbits, even after getting it provisioned properly from the ISP.

Unfortunately I kept getting a connection error when Roku tried to update its software. Upon reviewing the support forums I found that several others were posing about the same issue "error code 011" and the solution proposed was to adjust the security settings of the router. I wasn't willing to invest several hours into trying to get it to work so I sadly returned it. If you are going to get Roku, it may be a good call to spend $20 extra and get one that you can plug an Ethernet cable into.

doesn't give me the bandwidth I need appear to be very slow connection

I was in a real dilema. I could not pick up my wireless signal in the shop due to an all metal skin. Since I had run the electric service wire from the house, I plugged one unit into the house router and my computer into the shop unit and---voila---I had the internet in the shop. Not the highest speed, but I can listen to Pandora or Amazon Prime music.

I was never able to hook it up. The coaxial connections are impossible. I read the reviews suggesting how to connect the coaxial cable, and after fighting with it for an hour, I decided to cut my losses and return the damn thing. These coaxial connectors are not ones I've worked with before. I should be able to just twist the connections together with my fingers, like I've been able to do since cable TV existed.

Most of the rooms in my home were wired with coax and Cat 5 cables except the living room where the TV is. It was only wired with coax. I suppose the previous owner did not anticipate needing an Internet connection for the TV. It would cost several hindered dollars to have an electrician run a Cat 5 cable to this location so I tried other solutions; first was straight wireless but that was entirely too unreliable. Next I installed a wireless  bridge. It worked but was not good enough for HD streaming from my computer. (I use a cable card tuner in my computer and stream video from there to my XBOX 360 near the TV.)  After trying the wireless bridge I installed power line adapters. They worked but the speed was awful. I could stream SD video but not HD. Finally I bought a pair of these MoCA adapters. They work great. I get the same Internet connection speed at the MoCA adapters as hard wired to my router, 34 Mbps. The speed between computer and adapters may be faster than that but I have no way to measure it.

I bought this device, because I wanna replace my Comcast /Xfinity modem that I rent, which cost me 10 bucks per month. So, as others might already find out, this modem was not compatible with Comcast, which meant you would not get the high speed and great quality internet. I used the Comcast modem which gave me 100 mbps, but using this device, i could only hit 50, sometimes even lower than 20 mbps.  I spent hours talking with the representative of Comcast trying to troubleshoot the problem. But eventually I quit. What's worse, the modem did not provide dual band; you  either had 2.4 GHZ or 5 GHZ, but not simultaneously!! So, maybe this device worked for some people but not for me.

I was surprised that this brings in gorgeous signal, nicer than my cable box ever did before cutting the cord. I live about 50 miles "as the crow flies" from Los Angeles. I was only able to receive PBS local stations. Too bad, I wanted this to work. It might be due to hills or etc., I don't know.

It worked one time and I could never get it to connect again. I reloaded the software and also tried the third party CHIRP software.
I work in the computer business, so I do have some ability to load and use electronics. I'll have to try another cable.

Wasted a lot of time trying and was finally told by tech support that the issue was with my Comcast provided router/modem. It seems to be a common issue, so I'm not sure why they didn't tell me that sooner.

There aren't that many cable networks any longer, so selling a product that doesn't support the provided router/modem of one of the major cable providers seems a little goofy to me. At least state that it's not supported before I waste hours of time trying to figure it out.

Doesn't reach 50 miles.  I picked up more channels on my rabbit ears that I did with this item.

After losing our internet video after 4 years with no problems, I spent an hour on the phone with our cable provider, then at least FIVE hours trying to get through and finally chatting with Sony people.  The support from Sony was AWFUL.  I finally got a commercial guy on the phone who talked me through it all.  The last thing I tried was to unplug all 4 wires from this little DMXNV1 and plug them back in again.  That worked.  Try this before you buy a new one.

I was under the impression that I could use a 75ft. cable and it would work. Well, long story short, we had a tech from a local AV company come out to assess the problem and he said, 'It's the cable. You need a signal booster for a cable this long.'

I never was able to get it to work fast enough.  There is definitely a connection but when using the internet it was just too painfully slow.

I have now purchased/installed 6 Roku boxes. This is the latest one and the first to have any problems. It froze up MANY times. The Roku tech support that gets some nasty reviews here was from somewhere else in the world, but did communicate pretty well in English, but I had to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.
The problem, according to them, was that the internet speed was too high......  really?????
The fix was to limit the speed to 3.5 megs. The cable internet at that site runs 50-60 megs.
Listen up Roku...  If you can't handle speeds above 3.5 megs, then set your box there before sending it out and
then asking me to do it for you. Are you not capable of it?
Don't be asking me to finish your work.

This cable does not support gigabyte speeds! I have a gigabyte network which I need in order to get the most out of my internet connection. I have 150/150 and regular Cat5 cables only support 100mbs. Both Cat5e and Cat 6 support over 100MBS to 1gig-10gig. This cable only gives me about 80-90 mbps! It completely clogged my network up and gave me very slow speeds.

I tested multiple times and even to the extent of replacing the cable and the problem went away every time. It was 100% this cable. If you did not have a gigabyte network or never checked, you'd never know. I feel as if I was cheated and actually given a old Cat 5 cable. Another odd issue is that this cable takes about 5 seconds to connect where my other cables connect in the matter of a second.

Buyer beware and test this cable before you go through the trouble of hard installing it!

Starting one week it worked and i had problems. I did try calling their technical support and they tried some advanced settings (nothing advanced actually, just changing channels and bandwidth). They will come with solution wired speed can't be achieved with wireless. I believe what can't be achieved is 90 or 100% but not at least 50%. That is crazy
