I can understand how your interest has been piqued, but seriously, I have an Actiontec wireless MoCA router, for Verizon FiOS, and Damn, it sucks hard. I hate the thing. I if I could find ANY other MoCA modem, I would scrap the whole thing, and use my old netgear for routing.
It isn't the router, it's (mostly) the firmware. I haven't had any hardware issues, at least. Verizon slaps their own branded firmware on the Actiontec router, and it's pretty bad. Lots of annoying warnings (this is for advanced users! Are you sure?!) that cannot be turned off, and an extraordinarily confusing port forwarding configuration.
Then again, I've never seen the "normal", non-Verizon firmware, it may be just as bad as Verizon's!
