MoCA Adapters not increasing LAN speed

[akishore]

So I bought two Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax adapters and I connected one upstairs where my Verizon FIOS router is and another one down in the basement.

Upstairs I connected the coax from the wall into the splitter and then connected one coax to the FIOS router and one to the MoCA adapter. I then plugged the Ethernet cable from the adapter to the FIOS router.

Downstairs I just connected the cox from the wall directly to the MoCA adapter and then the Ethernet from the adapter to another FIOS router that I have downstairs.

The second FIOS router downstairs is the same Actiontec router as upstairs and I use it as a bridge.

Now everything works, but my speeds are exactly the same as when I didn't have the MoCA 2.0 adapters. I was hoping for speeds of around 80 to 100 MBs per second, but instead am stuck at 10 MBs per second.

What I am doing wrong? Why did the speed not increase? My house is new and the coax cabling should be fine.

I can't understand why I'm not getting closer to 1 gigabit rather than just 100 Mbps. Please help!

These will not increase your bandwidth from your ISP if that is what you are asking. How are you "testing" it? Copy a large file (4+GB) from your laptop to another PC's hard drive or SSD on your network. What speed do you get?

Yes, I was talking only about LAN speed (internal network speed). I've tested by copying a large file (exactly 4GB actually) and when I connect directly to the router upstairs, I get the 80 to 90 MBs per second speed, which is great. However, when connecting to the router downstairs, I only get 10 MBs per second. I'm using the MoCA adapter in both locations and the routers are both gigabit.
