Re: Installing new cable service in apartment block
If you don't have a proper terminator then remove the splitter and connect the cable directly to the hub. This maintains the impedance matching of the cable and prevents interference on the network and "suckouts" at certain frequencies.
Your signal levels at the hub will change by 4-6db. Down stream rising and upstream falling. Leave the FPA in circuit and then check your signal levels at the hub. Access the hub page at 192.168.100.1 and click on "router status"
You can then check the levels on the appropriate pages. DS should ideally be 0dbmv but +/-8dbmv acceptable. Upstream between 35 and 50dbmv.
