Re: [help] connection problem 2 wire modem
A downstream margin of 8dB is too low for a reliable connection. 50+dB downstream attenuation means either the inside wiring has problems or you're too far from the CO. Test the connection with the modem plugged directly into the test jack outside [or whatever you have between your inside wiring and the phone company's outside wiring] and see if the downstream margin goes up significantly [and the attenuation drops significantly]. If it does, try connecting the modem to a different jack indoors and/or rewire using a whole-house filter with a dedicated data line or drop to a lower speed profile. |
