Need some hand-holding here:

If I go ahead and get the recommended MoCA adapters, what is this "PoE" filter that folks speak of, and where would I install? (And do I need to?)

And contrary to what I may have said earlier, the cable in the house DOES have a cable signal coming in -- but there is only a single outlet in use, adjacent to the tv and the modem and the router.
"PoE" stands for "Point of Entry" and a PoE filter prevents your MoCA adapters from polluting the neighborhood (and, also, prevents them from poking around in your stuff).

Here's the one I used.
