Re: [KS] Cisco DIPC 3010 - Orange/yellow/amber lights (not green

Correct the 3 zeros in the upstream section means there is no upstream bonding.

That just means Cox has not turned it on.

You are bonding 8 downstreams with great levels!

OK, I appreciate the information. However, I must say that the performance of the modem so far is less than stellar. The main problem is that download speed varies from an acceptable 28Mbps to suddenly something like 5Mbps. Doing a speedtest I can see that it jumps up and down a lot. When I stream content, I often run into buffering problems.

I am attaching an example of what I am talking about

Do you have any idea how I can address this issue? It did not use to be like this, I used to have a sustained high rate and never had problems with streaming content until a few weeks ago.

Also, what do I make of the fact that the upload light on the modem is yellow, indicating (apparently) no channel bonding?
Thank you for all your help!

Brief update: the lights are now all green. I suppose that it may take a few hours for the channel bonding status to be reflected in the lights...? I am just trying to guess. Nothing else changed, but all the lights are now green, as they should be.

Performance, though, remains poor, as described above. This test was done just a few minutes ago: **download at 4 Mbps..!** I guess that is a different issue from the reason I opened this thread, but if anyone has any hint, all suggestions are welcome.

Thank you all for your help!

There are two ways the lights would have changed.
1 - the modem was unplugged then plugged back in and the modem picked up the channels should be bonded and the light turned green

2 - the firmware on the modem was not up to date and a new firmware was sent automatically. this would have reset the modem and again the light turned green.

I was thinking something along the same line. It happened while I was gone, so it is certainly not #1. And, after comparing a screenshot that I had before (with yellow lights) and the current setup screen, I can confirm that the firmware is different!
