Dump the high-pass filter, that is what was blocking your upstream channels; its job is to prevent noise from customers that aren't using the upstream. The other might be a (low-pass) MOCA filter, in which case its job is to prevent noise from customers using MOCA. If it is it won't have an effect on your service and is probably best left in.

Do the color here indicates filters? Or could this just be attenuators to reduce the signal strength?
