cable modem
Hello this is my first post here and I really need help.
I have had random disconects between 6:00 pm and 11:00 pm every evening. The problem is not with my system of that I'm sure because even when I diconnect my PC it still does it. My modem restarts itself 2-30 times each evening but it's fine during the day. It happens like this every time. The internet goes down and when I look at the modem the power light remains constant but the sync light starts flashing, then the ready light goes off then starts to flash slowly then faster and then it comes back on. At which point my internet connection comes back online. It only goes down for around 30 secs but as an online gamer this kicks me from the server I'm on. My location - eh54 I'm a former telewest customer. Modem - AMBIT 256 So far I have had 3 engineers out and in this order this is what they have done. 1. Replaced conectors on line to house and swopped my old surfboard 4100 for the new modem. 2. Checked the connection from the box in my street to my house (said it was fine). 3. Came to my house and I explained what was happening and that it only happened in the evening so he said it was a network problem and left. 4. Phoned again because I'm still having the same problem (in fact it;s getting worse) so another "supervisor engineer" is coming Monday to look at it again. Last night during one disconnect I took screen shots of my modem levels so I hope this will help. http://www.regal.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/11.jpg http://www.regal.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/12.jpg http://www.regal.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/13.jpg http://www.regal.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/14.jpg http://www.regal.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/log.jpg Some history as well I'm not sure if it's relavent but 5 years ago my road was dug up and the cable was torn to pieces. It was repaired and I have no idea if the repair is still ok. Its working fine at the moment and these are my settings Cable Modem Upstream Upstream Lock : Locked Upstream Channel ID : 2 Upstream Frequency : 25800000 Hz Upstream Modulation : QAM16 Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec Upstream transmit Power Level : 52.0 dBmV Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2 Downstream Lock : Locked Downstream Channel Id : 6 Downstream Frequency : 331000000 Hz Downstream Modulation : QAM256 Downstream Symbol Rate : 5360.537 Ksym/sec Downstream Interleave Depth : taps32Increment4 Downstream Receive Power Level : 4.9 dBmV Downstream SNR : 38.6 dB The downstream power level constantly varies between 4.7 and 5.2 I don't know if this is normal so thought I'd better mention it. |
Re: cable modem
Strongly suggest you repost all of the power levels during the times you're getting issues. Your upstream power may be drifting over 55dBmV.
