Upstream

Upstream Lock : Locked Upstream Channel ID : 4 Upstream Frequency : 45800000 Hz Upstream Modulation : QPSK Upstream Symbol Rate : 5120 Ksym/sec Upstream transmit Power Level : 50.7 dBmV Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 4

Downstream

Downstream Lock : Locked Downstream Channel Id : 37 Downstream Frequency : 299000000 Hz Downstream Modulation : QAM256 Downstream Symbol Rate : 6952 Ksym/sec Downstream Interleave Depth : taps12Increment17 Downstream Receive Power Level : 2.6 dBmV Downstream SNR : 40.2 dBI have a Netgear router going into the Ambit Virgin Media branded modem. ts only a few years old, the Router is fairly new.

The thing is I am still connected ok, so is this normal?

Thanks in advance

I get this a lot (20meg here) I even phoned it in and they didn't seem very interested.

So I guess it is "normal".

power levels look okay dude. Are you getting any T3 or T4 timemouts? What does your error log say? The only time I have ever had a problem like that is when there was an area fault with too much noise on the network.

Firmware issue ? None service affecting.

Got the same problem here with my ambit 256. Doesn't affect performance. It only usually happens on the first boot of the modem. If it annoys you just cycle the modems power and it should stop the ready light flashing.

As I have not had any problems with my 10mb I hid my modem so that I couldn't see the red light flashing. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2016/10/1.gif

I'm no expert on this but from what i have read on this Forum should the QPSK Upstream Symbol Rate read ATDMA if your connection is correct?

My Upstream Symbol Rate reads QPSK with my Upstream transmit Power Level reading 50.5 dBmV and my Downstream Receive Power Level showing 2.7 dBmV ( No T3 or T4 timeouts in evidence) and I have just had a peek at my modem to confirm that it is still flashing merrily away. I may even let it join in the Christmas lights show if it keeps it up. :)

Sorry Maggy for mentioning the C word in October. :D

atdma is absolutely fine, it is the qpsk you should be worried about

Mine has always been QPSK since installation without any probs, mainly due to being right on top of the street cab.
