I thought I would stop getting a critical-3 error but I got another one just now. I didn't experience drop of connection but it worries me

No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out

if someone knows what it precisely means, it would help.

Each plant is different and your modem is not a precision meter, BUT if accurate, 4-5 points lower on the DS side and 4-5 point higher on the US would be in the very good range pretty much anywhere.
The SAID message isn't a problem if you see it a few times, if you get dozens or hundreds a day you have problems.

EG posted : Agree with pflog but FWIW, that high downstream power will not cause those particular errors. Are you having any ongoing connectivity issues ? If not, don't sweat it.

said by zebu:

downstream : 14 db (tech said it was fine and no big deal)
upstream : 40 db (used to be 54 db which was the major problem)
SNR 37 db

14dB is too high, it should be less than 10. The closer to 0 the better.

40 is ok, but ideally would be a little higher for the upstream power.

SNR is fine.

EG posted : Those are usually benign errors. What do the modem's signal stat figures look like ? Try getting them here »192.168.100.1 or here »10.0.0.1

Please post the downstream power level, the upstream power level, and the SNR numbers.

zebu posted : I recently had a really bad connection problem that comcast promised they fixed by changing the entire line to my house. Well anyways, it looks fine but there is a concern I have.
In my modem logs there are three lines I want to know what they mean.

DS multicast is not mapped to SAID
Map Reject - Downstream Traffic Flow Not Mapped to BPI+ SAID
SA Map State Machine Started

Is it something I should worry about or just leave it alone?
