How do I fix my upstream connection?

Disconnect your cable modem from the coax and power outlet then move it to the first coax jack. Reconnect the coax followed by the power. Test your signal levels again. If the upstream power is still too high at the first jack, there is nothing you can do on your end to resolve the problem.

How do I check my upstream connection?

To view the upstream and downstream power levels:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your network.
2. Enter your cable modem or modem router’s user name and password. The user name is admin.
3. Select Cable Connection. The downstream and upstream power levels display.

What is an upstream connection?

In computer networking, upstream refers to the direction in which data can be transferred from the client to the server (uploading). This differs greatly from downstream not only in theory and usage, but also in that upstream speeds are usually at a premium.

What is cable modem upstream?

Upstream channels are also known as “upload speed.” This refers to the data that your computer sends out to the Internet. Your cable modem’s upload speed (or upstream channel) determines how much bandwidth of data your computer can send out to the Internet each second at full speed.

How can I improve my SNR upstream?

To improve the upstream SNR margin on a DSL line, you’d either have to get the modem to transmit using more power, your you’d need to reduce the noise on the line (possibly by fixing faulty or degraded wiring). Unless your home’s telephone wiring is faulty, there’s not much you as a consumer can do to fix this.

How do I check cable signal strength?

To test your coax cable signal strength for the internet, you can use a digital signal meter or a multimeter. Otherwise, you can check the cable signal strength on the modem. A multimeter will let you know if your cable is live and is functioning well, while a digital signal meter will give the level of deterioration.

What is upstream power level?

Upstream Power refers to the line signal from the cable modem to transmit data back to the cable provider. This document describes how to check the three signal levels to be within the acceptable level for the modem operate properly.

Should I use extended upstream transmit power?

The term extended upstream power was coined to allow modems to transmit at higher powers, even exceeding those established for single channels. From an operators perspective, it is the easiest way to gain SNR. Extended upstream power allows modems to send at powers up to 61 dBmV per channel.

What should upstream power be on cable modem?

In the screenshot above you can see that the individual channels in our modem are all at 8 and 9 dBmV which is acceptable. The “Upstream Power” reading should be between +37 dBmV to +55 dBmV and, ideally, should be closer to the middle of that potential range.

Why is the USB upstream cable up for grabs?

The USB upstream cable allows the usage of the monitor USB ports to the operating system. Exactly. That is why “supplying the power” is up for grabs, because power is not supplied until the upstream cable is connected to something that, apparently, does NOT supply the power, which is counter-intuitive.

Are there any upstream channels that do not lock?

The upstream channels, however, only half of them lock (channels 1-4). The other half (5-8) won’t lock. So basically I have a “24×4” modem router. My ISP is comcast. My internet works fine, and my speed matches my tier (250 Mbps).

How is a cable modem connected to the Internet?

Upstream: This means away from you and towards the internet and your internet service provider. Your cable modem is connected to a coaxial cable that leaves your house. Think of wherever that goes as upstream. Downstream: The opposite of upstream. This means information coming down from the internet to your modem.
