wow 70 views and no replies is not what i was expecting from this forum. I have, after some research managed to come up with this.........

Downstream Lock : Locked
Downstream Channel Id : 5
Downstream Frequency : 331000000 Hz
Downstream Modulation : QAM256
Downstream Symbol Rate : 5360.537 Ksym/sec
Downstream Interleave Depth : taps32Increment4
Downstream Receive Power Level : -7.0 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 37.7 dB


Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 4
Upstream Frequency : 37500000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 61.0 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2


as far as i have read, the 61 dbmv level is way too high and is basically the *edge* of where my modem will operate? is this true?

also, if my connector at the end of the line entering my modem is not *factory perfect* ( as in its one i replaced myself after damaging the previous one) would this cause the upstream of 61, if i am able to pull the coax cable out with actually unscrewing it from the modem???

please help, i was sure the guys n gals here would be more helpful than 70 views and no replies. thanks in advance,
