I don't think that a PoE filter is necessary since the amplifier should block MoCA from reaching neighboring homes and the security key should be an extra layer of protection if someone decided to connect to the coax outside of my house. Use the MM1000 to connect your router to an HDTV, computer, game station, wireless extender, or other device with an Ethernet port. The cable company had installed an Antronix VRA900B powered amplifier which would not properly pass MoCA signals so I added a Monoprice - 4-Way Coaxial Splitter which passes 5-2400MHz and connected the two cables which would connect the MM1000 adapters to this splitter then connected the input of the splitter to one of the outputs of the amplified splitter. This bonded 2.0 MoCA Adapter is a great choice if you want to use your home's coaxial cable wiring to provide a high-speed reliable Ethernet connection between your router and a remote device. While in each device's configuration I enabled encryption and set a shared security key. Both arrived with the latest 1.0.0.8 firmware already installed. The first thing I did was plug a laptop directly in to each MM1000 to check their firmware version. One MM1000 was purchased from Amazon in early December while another was purchased from Best Buy in late December. With MoCA in place, I re-configured the bridge as an access point to improve the wireless signal on that side of the house. The signal was fairly poor so the reported link speed was often under 400Mbps. The bridge was a 3x3:3 802.11ac router running FreshTomato.
I just used two MM1000 adapters to replace the wireless bridge that I was using to connect devices in my living room to the network.
