Hey guys

Every now and again, (but annoyingly, getting more frequent), my STB keeps dropping its broadband connection forcing me to reboot the STB and then renew the IP address again. Weird thing is, the middle light stays on, and the STB for TV works fine.

Ive had signal strength problems before. It was very high for a long time, then they put a limiter on it, so could it be too low? The figures are:

SNR = 33.6
Return Path = 51dbmv

Does that mean the signal strength is fine? Or am I looking at the wrong stats? Any suggestions about what to do when it happens again? I appreciate any help guys, thanx..
