They just have limits that generally go unnoticed, depending on how individuals use their network.

For me they don't work, for others they are the answer.

Wired ethernet does not have the middle man hand off issue is all.

EDIT: Although if you have coax running in the house there is a version of MoCA adapters that take ethernet from your primary router and feed your coax. Meaning cable internet is not a requirement.
All good stuff, and waaaay over my grey haired head. I think i am getting an understanding. The MoCA extenders are using my coax system to get a stronger signal throughout the house. Given the layout, seems like one at each end of the house (ranch style, 3000sf). That would mean two of them at $70 each plus the splitter for $140 plus shipping. The mesh system from Amplifi is $380 delivered to my house. Seems like both are serving the same function, just doing it differently. The MoCA uses the coax system, the Amplifi seems to be using the electrical distribution in the house since the satellite units plug into the wall

So, i am thinking if i am getting a boosted signal the MoCA is doing it for less.
