Cable modem status.

I have been recently having a connection problem (which I made a thread about).
I'll not get into the details of my problem now, but I have a question about the a cable modem's
config status. In this: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=16877 thread someone said something about upload and download status.

Could someone explain this as I think I may have this problem. :)

Re: Cable modem status.

Re: Cable modem status.

Yep as kits says that i said... that is how to do it :)

One additional note, if you have a proxy server specified, you will either need to deselect this, or add 192.168.100.1 to the list of addresses to bypass in the advanced options.

When I had low downstream around -2.25 and upstream transit level near 54.5 to 55. I had a unstable connection.

The engineer went in the box and changed something and my connection is 100% better.

Do you think that could be my problem?

What was your connection like before the guy fixed it?
