MoCA Filter and Network Setup Inquiry

Hi,

I’m in the process of setting up a MoCA-based network in my townhome, and I have a few questions regarding the installation. Specifically:

  1. Is there a point of entry (POE) MoCA filter already installed at the splitter going into my unit from the ISP side? (I cannot find any splitters in my unit)

  2. If there is no POE MoCA filter installed, do I need to add one myself, and if so, where should it be placed in my setup (before or after my splitter from the coax wall outlet)?

I’m trying to ensure optimal signal for the MoCA adapters and avoid interference, but I want to make sure I’m not conflicting with any ISP equipment or setup.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

HunterhasaHart  Apartments and single family homes have a completely different system of signal distribution. In a single family home, there is usually one drop running to the home which services the property. Apartments also receive an aerial or underground drop that ties, but that typically goes to a signal closet for the building or complex that splits the signal and directs that signal to the independent units. In apartments, the POE filter is just used to avoid crosstalk between X1 DVR's.

Hi @XfinityThomasB 
Thanks for the response, but I don’t feel like it fully addresses my question. My home doesn’t have a central run of coax; instead, I plan to use MoCA adapters to get Ethernet throughout the house. What I’m still unsure about is whether my MoCA network could extend/disrupt beyond my home and if I need to install a POE filter to prevent that. Could you clarify this for me?

POE would be at the housebox installed where the cable line touches the home, usually near the power box for grounding purposes. If one is not already installed if one is needed we could not say until your connection is set up. Outside that information, we would not be able to provide more support since this would not be our equipment you are setting up.
