Re: [Signals] What does this mean

That SNR seems a little low to me on the downstream. Check to loose fittings etc.

DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response can be safely ignored.

Are these readings any better.

I forgot the name but it like a amplifier but it does not amp the signals. I have tivos and they more touche about the signal. I installed the signal box and no more troubles with the tivo's. I'll try a reg 5 to 100mz spitter and see if t5hat helps.

5 to 100 Mhz splitter? Did you mean 1 Ghz or 1000 Mhz?

I don't like that 35 dB SNR but it isn't out of spec.

The signal levels are a bit better with that.

What eMTA do you have?

»Comcast High Speed Internet FAQ »What should my Signal Levels be?

The question is are you having any issues?

I think I'm bit a bit paranoid about signal.

The SNR on mine is 37.36 for one channel and 38.26 dB for the other

By the link you gave me the snr should range from 33 to 40. By that I am just above the min level. I'll put new connectors on to make sure it not the problem.
Thanks for the help.
