Need a MoCA PoE filter?
Hi all, thank you in advance for your help! I have some questions about the need to address any possible interference on my cable line.
I have Xfinity 2100/300 MB service with a Netgear CM3000 modem. The modem signals/error levels are good, but I do experience some T3 errors, not a lot, so periodically and I inspect connectors, cables etc. looking for any issues. I have no splitters, the single incoming cable runs from the outside box directly to my modem.
Should I add a MoCA PoE filter on my incoming cable line, just before the cable modem? My reason would be just if it eliminates some ingress/interference from outside - I am in a rowhouse so houses are close. Comcast does recommend at least this one, which looks good:

I don't think there is one at my Comcast box. I only have one cable line coming in, it goes right to the modem; so maybe it's not needed? There are no splitters in the house.
Thoughts?

A small number of T3 errors is ok. Unless you are having noticeable connection problems, I wouldn't bother. You could always try one for a test. It shouldn't hurt anything. If it does make things worse, you can always remove it.
