My brother is in a home a 100 ft away from my home. I'd like to connect our networks via MoCA. Is it advisable to send a signal between our homes via Time Warner's coax cables?

I have a 2nd option where I can run MoCA to a wireless bridge and connect our networks via the wireless bridge. But I would prefer not to use the wireless bridge.

Finally, I've read its a good idea to install a POE filter at my cable modem. And if I go with the second option, a POE filter at the 'ground block'. Should I install POE filters?

PoE is a ethernet concept and does not apply. There are filter for cable that block certain ranges of signals but this is more for mixing old analog and the new digital cable.

MoCA is dependent on certain parts of the bandwidth being unused on the coax cable. Even when you use it inside your house this is a huge problem. Many of the multiroom DVR systems and directtv one wire system compete for the same area MoCA uses. Time warner uses ever tiny bit of bandwidth. Even if you somehow manged to transmit into the wire they would hunt you down and disconnect you for causing interference.

You can use wireless bridges. These are not moca related in anyway. Ubiquiti make some inexpensive ones...about $70 each side. This will work really good at the distance you have.

If you both have internet from time warner why not just build a VPN over the network... it accomplishes the same thing and if you can run Pc-pc its just a matter of load openvpn software on both ends

Not power over ethernet. It's a 7 dollar "point of entry" filter that blocks MoCA frequencies. I have Nanostation Locos already in place; however, I'd have to run MoCA anyways or come up with a different solution to get the signal to my router. Also, I'd have to buy adapters(and other equipment), and traffic would be increased over the WiFi bridge.

I don't think I can access the conduit beneath the street. I'd prefer to use Time Warner's existing coax if there are no interference issues(or other issues).
