It has 8 downstream and 4 upstream channels.
Cable modem good power level.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is.
Downstream power level rx this level is the downstream signal strength and can be plus or minus and shows the amount of signal received by the modem from the cable companies transmitter.
This number should be lower than 55db.
The power level on all downstream appears to be good 1 5 3 3.
I have an account with comcast and have recently been experiencing frequent slowdowns and disconnects.
Downstream and upstream power levels are important when determining if the cable line that is connected to your cable modem or modem router is receiving sufficient power.
Cable signal levels for all docsis cable modems require to be within the acceptable level for the modem operate properly.
To view the upstream and downstream power levels.
2010 04 10 08 58 44 mprogers technically low transmit levels upstream power can cause.
The lower the number the better your connection.
Good downstream power levels are within 7 to 7 dbmv.
My modem is a fairly new cisco dpc3008.
However the power level on 1 of the upstream is 0.
Although there are docsis 3 0 cable modems that technically support speeds of 1gbps or higher chances are that your cable internet provider will cap out at 600mbps over docsis 3 0.
The cable modem s power levels should be within these ranges.
The three signal levels that need to be within the acceptable level are downstream power snr signal to noise ratio and upstream power.
Good upstream power levels are within 38 48 dbmv.
If your cable modem reports more than 52 upstream power you need to look at your cables and splitters.
If you want real gigabit fibre optic class speeds you ll need to invest in a docsis 3 1 cable modem jesse hollington tech writer.
Typically the lower you go in the minus range the more the modem struggles to keep being acquired.
