I imagine this is pretty expensive to set up but could be worth it if every room has coax and you intend to wire each of them.

Most of net are arching through many generation of hardware... Most of the time the best solution in time and money is on rewire totaly... But they chose adaptator...

There are many cases in which it's just not possible to rewire without tearing up the entire house, which might get extremely expensive, a lot more than some adapters.

Why no price or link to the product page? All I wanted to know how much it costs to replace my 1gbps MoCa adapters.

True, but the cost could be taken by the one who do the job, or even by the country itself with some help, too.

Look at it this way. My ISP already requires me to have 1 MoCA adapter. I have coax running through my entire house and to the garage at the back of my property. To string CAT5e to cover the same range as I can achieve with a second MoCA adapter, it would cost at least several hundred dollars. I'd have to hire at least 3 different contractors, plus apply for permits and deal with inspections. By the time I have CAT5e adequately covering the property, I'm probably looking at somewhere between $1500 and $2500 USD... OR, I can spend $50-150 USD on a simple MoCA adapter, connect it to the coax that already exists in my garage, throw in a wifi access point and have wifi access from every inch of my property. If you're doing new construction, sure, run CAT5e everywhere you want internet. It's almost free these days. I mean, I got 500ft of CAT5e cable for $25 so including it in the cost of building a new house would be unnoticeable. For an existing structure, MoCA is a better alternative if someone already has 1 or more MoCA adapters present.
