Actiontec Aims for Gigabit over MoCA, WiFi

Actiontec Electronics has released a new family of 802.11ac Wireless Network Extenders designed to help service providers provide 1 Gbps speeds inside the home. They feature dual band 2.4/5 GHz with 4x4 802.11ac WiFi.

The new 802.11ac Wireless Network Extender family includes both coax and Ethernet-based models. The WCB6200Q uses the latest bonded MoCA 2.0 technology to extend the router's signal through the home's existing coax cabling and bring an 802.11ac Wi-Fi signal to those areas of the home that can't be reached with the existing router. The Ethernet-based WEB6000Q can plug into the Ethernet port of the subscriber's existing router or gateway and provides an instant upgrade to 802.11ac.
