Re: SB6120 Provisioning problem Thanks for all the replies!
The reason I have the amp (CVT-2/4 PIA) is due to my unusual installation. The cable running from the green tower at the curb to my garage is 175 feet. At that point, Comcast installed a splitter to drive the Arris modem for my phone service. The other leg of the splitter goes to the amp, which supplies the SB6120 and the TVs.
As an experiment, I connected the SB6120 directly to the splitter where the Arris modem is, and noted that the online LED was still flashing and not solid. This is why I was asking if the online light should be on solid even if Comcast has not registered the MAC address. At this drop, the signal is as good as it gets.
I don't like using the amp, but if the signal is poor, why does the SB4100 work, does it have a better chipset?
Here's some more info from the SB6120:
