The Motorola is MoCA, just like this Linksys (and should be compatible with the Linksys, it's compatible with other MoCA devices) and is capable of the +200Mbps speeds, much faster and more reliable than wireless or old fashioned coax/power/phone adapters. MoCA is very cool and much more than a COAX bridge; it's a high speed, self configuring COAX mesh network that can travel both directions through splitters. I've used it for some very cool and time saving setups with work when we moved employees into unwired buildings and housing for emergency work.
The reason the NIM-100s are so cheap used is Verizon installed a ton of them in houses before the ActionTec MoCA routers came out. I get the feeling most of them "fell" out the back of installers trucks.
