Hi @Zenati

I know how frustrating it is to have internet issues that connection. Since you mentioned a splitter, can you please bypass the splitters and screw the coaxial directly into the wall from the modem?

    my internet service restored on its own yesterday evening. Today it went down again. I went to the eave and bypassed the splitter the technician installed from the line coming in from the pole. Internet is back with speed test looking good and these connection stats.
    Could this be heat related? The past days have had hot afternoons and that's when things went down. Also if it's good without the splitter is it a bad splitter or I just can't use one?
