MoCA speed's slower than Wifi

I set up a pair of MoCA 2.5 adapters to connect my PC to my home server over coax, but the connection is only getting around 205 Mbps — slower than my Wi-Fi speeds.

My setup is:

  • ISP feed goes into a PoE filter that then goes into 3-way splitter in the basement
  • Splitter outputs go to:
    • two living room coax lines
    • one bedroom coax line
  • In the living room:
    • modem is connected to one coax port
    • MoCA adapter is connected to the other coax port
  • In the bedroom:
    • second MoCA adapter connects to the coax wall jack and then to my PC via Ethernet

The splitter is MoCA-rated, and the adapters link successfully, but performance is much lower than expected for MoCA 2.5. Wi-Fi to the server is actually faster.
