have a surfboard 5100 and i get a SNR of around 30.5 to 31.5 on average,a downstream power level of around -8.5,and a upstream power level of around 55,and i never had a problem in years.my question is how low of a signal can a modem work on? i know people with SNR of 27 and there modem still has no problems.
To be honest i would call for a truck roll!
You have to much noise on your line and sooner or later it will cause problems!But if your happy,so be it! :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20850241 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:55:18 EDT Re: surfboard 5100 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20850099 EG :

I have found that the 5100 is one of the most forgiving modems out there.

At one time, while behind my 5100, my Downstream Power Level was +22dB. Way out of spec by Comcast's published standards, yet it never had a hiccup in the 2 years I had this condition. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20849856 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:22:07 EDT surfboard 5100 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20849187 anon : have a surfboard 5100 and i get a SNR of around 30.5 to 31.5 on average,a downstream power level of around -8.5,and a upstream power level of around 55,and i never had a problem in years.my question is how low of a signal can a modem work on? i know people with SNR of 27 and there modem still has no problems.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20849187 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:58:22 EDT
