SB6141 Dropping

I have my own SB6141 arris modem that keeps dropping. I think my downstream power level might be too high, but I'm not sure if I'm reading everything right. If it is, I'm not sure how to get it back down. Any help would be appreciated. Had a tech come out a couple weeks ago and said my signal wasn't the best but after doing some things said it was great. However I'm still having drops. Thanks for your help.

Re: SB6141 Dropping

Copy and paste the Whole signal, page, need to see the correcteds

 Paste the error log page as well.

 What's your zip code?

 

+10dBmv  is about the highest  I'd want to see the DS power

Re: SB6141 Dropping

since it dropped ch 11, that already tells me there's a noise ingress problem as well as the uneven correcteds/uncorrecteds between channels.

Bet there'sa at least one "DS partial service" error in the log.

 543 mHz is Tv ch 26... You also have a 30, 31 and 32 there( 567, 573 & 579) mHz  and your 579 also has higher than the rest uncorrected.

This isn't a modem problem, something is corroded or loose or there's open splitter ports, Modem should be on the first 2 way if you have a cable box and no splitters if intermittent only.

Re: SB6141 Dropping

I'll take a look around and tighten things up. But I only have Cable through TWC so I don't believe or see anything coming off a splitter. Outside in the box it looks to be connected really snug and nothing in the way. My cord was a little pinched inside and loose but I'll tighten it up with a wrench and/or get a new coaxial cable. Thank you very much.

Re: SB6141 Dropping

+10 dBmv usually indicates no splitters.

 Make sure the back side of wallplates are tight as well, they need to be a tad more than finger tight.

 

This could be a chewed up line in tree branches or on the pole tap off block.

 

You have 3 really strong Tv channels per TV fool...

Re: SB6141 Dropping

Will do. I was unaware that tv channels can interfere. I've changed the coaxial cable and tightened. I will try for a day and see what happens. Thank you. Will check wall plates as well.

Re: SB6141 Dropping

I don't like seeing the DS levels change like that... Was temperature different outside by more than 20 degrees? Or is the new cable a lot longer or rg59 instead of rg 6...?

See if the DS drop of 2 dB has made a difference  +8 should be a bit more reliable than the previous +10 dBm you had

 

Are you sure there's a straight line from outside to the modem and not an amplifier inhouse, your comment of wall plate"S" makes me wonder if there are others wired to an amp...(all that needs to be disconnected from the coaxial path from the grounding block to the modem.

Your last startup has awfull good to uncorrected counts, repost the page again without resetting the modem, need to see what it looks like with a few hours on it.

 The 6141's do display around 500 right at startup
