Modem gets booted

Calm Down It Was A Joke.

I dont joke to avoid offending anyone. Im here for the technical part of it.

What are your signal levels like? anything between -10 and -15 can keep the cm from syncing. Different modems operate on their own....i have one or two that refuse to lock on anything less than -10 and some that will run on -17.

A signal like this is about as pretty as it gets. I bypass the rest of the house with a run of quality RG6 from the tap to my Cm.

Frequency 555000000 Hz
Signal To Noise Ratio 40.0 dB
Power Level 0.6 dBmV

What you think of it?

    This is what I get. I don't know if this is close to the real speed of the cfg file as far as speedtest goes when doing a test.

just what I thought...

your modem is deaf. Fix your signal. Do what i did if you can. Too many splitters between you and the tap.

I'll do that sometime this week. Thank you Southernyankey1970.

Receive Power -14.5 dBmV Marginal but doable. Config file has nothing to do with the signal quality.

good job. the closer to 0 db the better.

I was mentioning the config file regarding speed testing on Speedtest.net. By the way, is a speedtier cfg suppose to be fast or "special". Or is reserve for higher monthly subscription?
Never mind the question, I found the answer on Cable Inside Scoop.

should be 22/4

Yeah, that's about right.
