Re: Concept of powerboost annoys me
At least you guys are getting PowerBoost. My 6Mbps is rock solid, granted, but it would be nice if I were getting the PowerBoost download feature as advertised. I've seen in on a friend's connection in a nearby Atlanta suburb, and it's very handy when it works.
Long-term -- yeah -- they need to just improve their system.

IronChefMorimoto What modem do you have? If it is DOCSIS 1.0 you will never get Powerboost.

IronChefMorimoto Interesting read concerning the SB5100 + Powerboost »Motorola SB5100 not Powerboost compatable?
You could be pulling a DOCSIS 1.0 Config file that would cause problems. That link has some other people experiencing the same thing. Hope it points you in the right direction.

What modem do you have? If it is DOCSIS 1.0 you will never get Powerboost. I have a linksys BEFCMU10 modem. The web screen says it is DOCSIS 1.0 Currently the signal status screen says I am at 6M for download.
Am I correct to assume that I should see a 12M download status if power boost is going to be able to kick in?
My modem was advertised to be upgradable to DOCSIS 2.0, but comcast has never upgraded it. I see some failures in the log files that I am suspicious that they might be trying to upgrade. How high can docsis 1.0 go? comcast made a mistake for a few hours and set me to 8M/768K, but I could not make it work. I had to force them to take me back to 6M and then all was ok. Am I on the right track??? |

| The "V2" is not DOCSIS 2.0 capable & Comcast does not update it to DOCSIS 1.1.
If possible, I would replace the modem.

I went many rounds with linksys a couple years ago on this issue. The box the router came in said it was DOCSIS 2.0 capable. Linksys blames it on the cable company not providing the upgrade. I think it was false advertising on linksys' part.
The modem has been stable since the firmware upgrade a couple years back. Guess I'll leave it all alone for now since I want stability (using voip). |
