1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,640
Wi-Fi is certainly convenient but wired networks still have a lot of advantages

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:12,440
like higher download speeds for files and videos lower latency for

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:17,080
applications like gaming and no signal drop offs when you're too far away from

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,960
your router but unless you happen to live in a new fangled building with

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,599
Ethernet Jacks like these built into the walls how are the hacker you supposed to

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:29,599
enjoy a wired connection I mean you could be like this guy and turn your

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:33,960
house into a cable spaghetti but a more appe heing Choice might be a little

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:39,960
known but very useful standard called mocha mocha stands for multimedia over

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,280
coax Alliance and it uses the co-axial

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:47,079
cables that might already be inside your walls you know the same ones that you

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,600
can use for cable TV I mean it makes sense that they can carry data traffic

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:57,199
cable internet has been around since the 1990s and can do gigabit plus download

13
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:59,519
speeds these days but how well like

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:05,000
cable internet mocha uses a different fre quency to send data through your

15
00:01:01,879 --> 00:01:06,880
coaxial cables that way your cable TV

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,119
signal won't interfere with your network data and vice versa but how exactly do

17
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:18,320
you connect a device with an Ethernet Jack to one of those cable wall outlets

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:23,439
why a dongle of course specifically one that looks like this you plug in an

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,680
Ethernet cable from your router then you connect the adapter to that coaxial

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,720
cable outlet in your wall then you do the same thing on the other end for any

21
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:37,880
device you're trying to get online like a PC a smart TV or a wireless access

22
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,520
point oh that last one is key mocha is

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,439
great for extending your Wi-Fi range for phones or other devices that can't

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,680
easily take advantage of a wired connection it is shockingly simple to

25
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:53,000
set up and is encrypted for your security some routers even have mocha

26
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:57,880
built in which can potentially save you the cost of an adapter at one end but

27
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,960
hold on a minute doesn't this sound like a less convenient version of power

28
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,320
networking that uses your home's electrical wiring after all everyone has

29
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:12,480
electrical wiring and it's all over your house not everyone has coax and even the

30
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:16,920
people who do have far fewer ports in their house well I'm going to tell you

31
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,120
how mocha is different from Powerline and maybe even better than power line as

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,560
soon as we finish thanking our sponsor pulseway pulseway is remote monitoring

40
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:01,159
our Link in the video description the biggest advantage of mocha compared to

41
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,920
Powerline is speed because data signals

42
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:08,040
sent over power line have to deal with interference from well everything else

43
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:12,920
in your home that uses electricity they're usually limited to top speeds of

44
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:17,239
a few hundred megabits per second that doesn't make them worthless they can

45
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,280
often have much better ping consistency for gaming than Wi-Fi so they're still

46
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:26,599
good in an emergency but those speeds are pretty unexciting compared to the

47
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:31,760
latest mocha adapters that can do 2 gbits per second or better allowing High

48
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:36,439
high-speed client devices to take full advantage of a lightning fast multi-gig

49
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:42,120
internet connection or even Video Edit off of a remote Nas however mocha

50
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:46,920
adapters do have some downsides for starters they can be costly compared to

51
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:51,799
Powerline Solutions and you may also need a small device called a point of

52
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:56,640
entry or PoE filter if you have either cable TV or cable internet service

53
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,799
coming into your home these filters keep mocha signals from interfering with

54
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:03,519
anything that your neighbors are doing with the cable line and are commonly

55
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:08,480
suggested as a way to solve performance issues if you place one where the cable

56
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,239
from your ISP enters your house and

57
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,720
despite the fact that mocha is designed to work well with modern equipment

58
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:19,600
certain older cable modems and TV set top boxes can get kind of cranky when a

59
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,360
mocha signal hits them so a filter on the modem or cable box itself might be a

60
00:04:21,799 --> 00:04:28,240
good idea if you're experiencing problems but this of course won't be an

61
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:32,440
issue if you don't watch cable TV or if you have a different kind of Internet

62
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,320
service such as fiber to the home furthermore because coaxial cable lines

63
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,199
are susceptible to disruptions from Splitters and other devices mocha is

64
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:46,600
still going to fall behind the best traditional Ethernet cables while

65
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:51,440
costing more it's just a heck of a lot more practical than trying to rip out

66
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:56,000
your drywall or your landlord's drywall to install those aforementioned

67
00:04:53,479 --> 00:04:59,160
traditional Ethernet cables that is unless you really like swinging a
