Actiontec Launches MoCA Network Adapter To Fill In Wi-Fi Coverage Deadzones

Actiontec Electronics announced the launch of its WCB3000 Wi-Fi Wireless Network Adapter using MoCA--the first solution in its Whole Home Wireless portfolio.

The new adapter uses MoCA (Multimedia over Coax) to reliably extend the Wi-Fi signal via a home's existing coax wiring to more places in the home.

With everything from tablets to TVs and kitchen appliances now Wi-Fi enabled, there's more pressure than ever before on the home Wi-Fi network. According to Parks Associates, U.S. broadband households have an average of 3.5 connected devices, and nearly 50% of U.S. broadband households watch movies and TV shows online.
