[Understanding MoCA](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#understanding-moca) # How come I can't get symmetrical speeds with MoCA? Because of the nature of the MoCA network, there are always slight differences between the MoCA TX and RX rates. The rates will be similar but not the same in most cases. In some cases, a MoCA link can appear slower or less stable in one direction if there are coax issues, such as poor cable quality, old or unapproved splitters, excessive attenuation, or interference from other RF services on the same coax. These are signal‑quality or installation problems, not a built‑in MoCA cap on upload or download. But since the MoCA only works in half-duplex, the TX and RX share the bandwidth. So Symmetrical speeds between the two MoCA devices CANNOT be obtained.  ![Screenshot 2026-01-08 095257](https://residential.screenbeam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Screenshot%202026-01-08%20095257.png?width=670&height=617&name=Screenshot%202026-01-08%20095257.png)   - [General FAQ's](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and Configuration](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#installation-and-configuration) - [Troubleshooting and Optimization](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-and-optimization) - [Hardware and Compatibility](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#hardware-and-compatibility) - [Advanced Features](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#advanced-features) - [Maintenance and Updates](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#maintenance-and-updates) - [Understanding MoCA](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#understanding-moca) - [Purchasing](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#purchasing) - [Customization and Scalability](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#customization-and-scalability) - [Security and Privacy](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/general-faqs?hsLang=en#security-and-privacy) - [ECB7250](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/ecb7250?hsLang=en) - [ECB6250](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/ecb6250?hsLang=en) - [ECB6200](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/ecb6200?hsLang=en) - [End of Life Products](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#main-content) - [MyWirelessTV 2 - Wireless HD Transmitter & Receiver Kit](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#mywirelesstv-2-wireless-hd-transmitter-receiver-kit) - [MyWirelessTV 3 - 4K Wireless HD Connection Kit](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#mywirelesstv-3-4k-wireless-hd-connection-kit) - [ScreenBeam Mini 2](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-mini-2) - [ScreenBeam Mini 2 Kit (ScreenBeam Mini 2 & USB Transmitter)](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-mini-2-kit-screenbeam-mini-2-usb-transmitter) - [ScreenBeam USB Transmitter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-usb-transmitter) - [ScreenBeam USB Transmitter 2](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-usb-transmitter-2) - [ScreenBeam Wireless Display Receiver](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-wireless-display-receiver) - [ScreenBeam Wireless Adapter Kit (with The ScreenBeam Display Adapter Receiver & USB Transmitter)](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-wireless-adapter-kit-with-the-screenbeam-display-adapter-receiver-usb-transmitter) - [ScreenBeam Wireless Adapter Kit (with The ScreenBeam Display Adapter Receiver & USB Transmitter 2)](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#screenbeam-wireless-adapter-kit-with-the-screenbeam-display-adapter-receiver-usb-transmitter-2) - [ECB2500C - MoCA Network Adapter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb2500c-moca-network-adapter) - [ECB5240M - MoCA Network Adapter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb5240m-moca-network-adapter) - [ECB6000 - MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb6000-moca-2-0-network-adapter) - [ECB6200 - Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter Branded Actiontec](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#ecb6200-bonded-moca-2-0-network-adapter-branded-actiontec) - [WCB3000N - 802.11n Wireless Network Extender](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#wcb3000n-802-11n-wireless-network-extender) - [WCB6200Q - 802.11ac Wireless Network Extender](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#wcb6200q-802-11ac-wireless-network-extender) - [WEB6000Q - 802.11ac Wireless Network Extender With Gigabit Ethernet](https://residential.screenbeam.com/support/end-of-life-products?hsLang=en#web6000q-802-11ac-wireless-network-extender-with-gigabit-ethernet) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://residential.screenbeam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ScreenBeamLogo-2in.webp?width=194&height=24&name=ScreenBeamLogo-2in.webp "Chill listening crop-3")](http://www.screenbeam.com)   Copyright © 2025, ScreenBeam Inc.
