Can you check my signals for the 107 package?

I'm having trouble ever hitting 107Mbps on test sites, and was looking at my signals. I may have messed things up.

Here is a picture of my current signals:





Here are my old signals from my old modem and old 50Mbps package:






My old power levels looked much better at 0 on the down stream My upload power level was also much stronger.

Only two things have changed since I ordered the new package

1. I removed two splitters and installed female to female connectors
2. I bought a new Motorola modem with 8 channel bonding
(my old modem was a Motorola as well)

Any ideas?

:/

I used the signal guide from here »www.speedguide.net/faq_i ··· p?qid=78

Your signal is ok, coming in a bit strong, but still ok. If it were my line, I'd add a splitter back in line to reduce the downstream power a bit and increase the upstream a tad.

To speed test a 100+ connection though, you need to download from a high speed server, possibly a couple at the same time, then look at your task manager or other program to see what speeds you're obtaining.

So adding a splitter back will increase my upstream power?

It's kinda funny that too much power on the downstream isn't good. Looks like you'd want all the power you could get. lol

You're shooting for a range of signal strentgh, closer to 0 is better.

Yes, adding a splitter will increase the power a tad since your modem will be compensating for signal lose going through the splitter. Just power cycle the modem when you do this.

The upstream channel modulation scheme looks odd to me.

TDMA is the datalink layer and is used in all versions of Docsis. QAM is on the physical layer, 16 QAM is the Doc1 fall back, 32-64-128QAM are doc 2 or 3.

Yeah, I see now, my modem doesn't show the modulation for the upstream channel.

Lol, thanks for the love. Did you try out a splitter yet?
