1 edit | Cable Modem Levels Survey.
Just for reference can some of you please post your levels.Just in case if some of you don't know how for most modems you can type 192.168.100.1 in your address bar to get the internal web page of the modem. RCA modems with power listed next to the first light type in 192.168.100.1/moreinfo.html. Just curious to see what most systems levels look like. I'll start with my bad levels.
Please include city and state. |

How do we know if these values are good? Also, my modem tells me the "modulation"... what exactly does that mean?
...I wouldn't mind having the ability to change those max bit rate values-- wink wink

1 edit | Thanks for the posts so far. It's helping me prove a point on an earlier post. SNR's pretty much 30 and above everywhere except Albany Ga. Really bad on the east side. Keep them coming. Maybe I'll print these out and show my superiors somethings wrong here. I would love to have your levels PhantomPhanx. Your downstream power could be a little better but it's within range. |

My downstream power level and upstream power levels fluctuate all day long. They even change during the hour. However, my S/N is usually 28 or 29 consistently. |
