Systems and methods for providing a high throughput mode for a MoCA device are provided. An electronic device configured for use as a node in a home network is provided. The electronic device may include a preamble generator block. The preamble generator block may include a time domain preamble generator. The time domain preamble generator may be configured to generate a periodic preamble for a MoCA signal. The preamble generator block may also include a doubling circuit configured to double the periodic preamble. Such doubling may preferably obtain an increased maximum periodic preamble.
