Cox's equipment tells your modem what upstream power to use. If the Cox equipment isn't receiving your modem signal it will tell it to use more power. Basically that info from Arris is just wrong. I think it must have been written by an intern or something. You can put an attenuator on the line to make the numbers look better but the net effect on the line will be the same. If you put a 6 dB attenuator on the line, your modem will put out 43 dBmV, but on the other side of the attenuator, there will only be 37 dBmV going back to Cox. So it has no net effect on the signal you send back to Cox.
Ill send that when Im home
Im willing to bet Ill end up buying a mobo, a new modem, a new router, a new switch new ethernet and coax, a new car, etc before we rule out my equipment.
That's why I say to rule out the RF network first. The RF network isn't always the problem, but if you start replacing other things before you rule out the RF network you could be wasting time and money.
So again I reset everything bc the speeds were constantly testing at like 10 up and 10 down. Couldnt even connect to my modem bc the connection timed out iirc. Same thing happened yesterday.
Perhaps a GoFundMe for a new neighborhood node and someone to install it.
ahh Cox has 0 competition here tho, plenty of money in those pockets. I suppose If the node just got destroyed they might just go ahead with that split, no?
