Uncorrectables
Hey, guys. Like some others here, I have high uncorrectables, except I don't really know what that means, much less what to do about it. Can anyone help?
About the screenshots from when I was having problems, I don't have any, unfortunately. I'll know better next time.
About the splitter, I got a closer look, and this is what I found: one cable going in, and one cable going out. Note the two unused cables just sort of hanging there.
As I mentioned earlier, this is something that the Cox guy installed some years ago, for reasons I no longer recall. It's in a laundry room. From there, the signal goes to a back bedroom where I keep my Arris and Orbi. I don't know if there are any intervening splitters between the laundry room and the bedroom.
My service has been OK the past few days. I figure that the next time something happens, I'm going to get right on it.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rp5d2RTmtDWr7Q7eUVC3PXkS0s3nd8Sf/view?usp=sharing
Yeah, i agree with Mouth. It's an unused splitter and although serviceable, it's a bad spliiter because it's designed to split (degrade) your signal...and you don't need to.
I'm not suggesting the splitter is bad but the hot, humid, corrosively bleach-y air within the laundry room may have taken its toll on the splitter. Even after "coupling" the primary feed, you may still have problems but you could rule out the splitter.
