Power levels question
I'm fairly new to these boards and have seen people posting up their power levels from 192.168.100.1 and was wondering if anyone could tell me what these actually do to your connection and whether I should contact VM regarding mine. Any help would be appreciated
Downstream Lock : Locked Downstream Channel Id : 1 Downstream Frequency : 586750000 Hz Downstream Modulation : QAM64 Downstream Symbol Rate : 6952 Ksym/sec Downstream Interleave Depth : taps12Increment17 Downstream Receive Power Level : -11.3 dBmV Downstream SNR : 32.1 dB Upstream Lock : Locked Upstream Channel ID : 3 Upstream Frequency : 42800000 Hz Upstream Modulation : QPSK Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec Upstream transmit Power Level : 38.0 dBmV Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2 |
Re: Power levels question
The signal has to be in between thresholds to work correctly. Your downstream is well out of the threshold and you should phone VM for a technician to come out. However, if you're not having issues with your service, I wouldn't bother.

There's vast amounts of useful information over at Robin Walker's site:

Re: Power levels question
The downstream power level is suspect - ideally this should be 0 although +5 to -5 is usually allowed. Do you find that the SYNC light (im assuming you have an NTL or Virgin branded modem here) goes out at all? If so, you need an engineer to come look at it.
