| Re: [Connectivity] Comcast VS. DSL? hey alias, have you checked your modem signal levels?
if you unplug your modem from power and plug it back in (leave the cable and ethernet connected, also bypass your router) while it is trying to lock, open your browser and go to 192.168.100.1 in the address bar
that should open your modems configuration (if its the kind of modem i'm picturing), click on signal, it should give you the signal levels (both send and receive), the receive should be above -11db and below +11db and the transmit should be above 33db and below about 54db i believe
as i'm sure you know it doesnt take it much time to lock in when you power cycle it, but if you are quick you should be able get your levels, motorola says you can get to this config page while the modem is online but i havent been able to do so with mine, maybe i'm missing something
and of course make sure your pc grabbed that 192.168.100.1 ip address before trying to use it lol | |
