cable modem levels

Laffctx · 11-28-2004, 07:27 AM

First of all I have a Motorola SB5120 Cable Modem and these are my signal levels:

Frequency 675000000 Hz
Signal to Noise Ratio 34 dB
QAM 256
Network Access Control Object ON
Power Level 6 dBmV The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading

Upstream Value
Channel ID 1
Frequency 30496000 Hz
Ranging Service ID 2002
Symbol Rate 3.200 Msym/s
Power Level 60 dBmV

I am not having any slow speeds at all. In fact, my speeds are really super fast.

What I am concerned about is my Upstream Power Level being that high. I have heard that the SB5120 can run that high without any problem. And, I have also heard that as long as it is not causing a problem that I shouldn't worry about it. But then, I have also heard that it can cause heat problems with the modem itself.

But, it has been like this for couple weeks and not a problem one. Do you think I should have a tech come out and look at it or just leave it alone?

thanks,

Laffctx
