MoCA security flaw ?
I've had 15-20 connections showing up on my router and my movies are stalling. After reading about MoCA, I wanted to disable it, but of course, I forgot (doh ) my admin password for the gateway. After a bit of fooling around with it, I decided to do a router reset. When I logged into 10.0.0.1 with the default user/password, I was very surprised to see NOT my network but my neighbors ! With their password ! Just for kicks, I tried it and was able to log into their network with full access.

As you stated in your other post, you need that MoCA POE filter to be installed on the input port of the first splitter off of the coax cable drop from the street to keep the MoCA signal in your premises and to keep the neighbor's signals out.
Amazon has them: https://www.amazon.com/SNLP-1GCW-Filter-Eliminate-Multi-Room-%20Interference/dp/B07SLD9QPH
Or you may be able to get one for free at your local Comcast / Xfinity store. Or book a tech to come out and install one for you.
If the MoCA feature is not being used on your home network, you can put the POE filter right at the back of your gateway device instead. Good luck !
