Coaxial cable wiring resources & Question
Hi all. I'm currently staying in a home that has been in my family for a few generations. I've been encountering issues with my internet connection recently that is leading me to believe that the wiring with the coaxial cable may require inspection and adjustment. The upstream LED flashes during boot up, and the modem goes offline to reconnect after 30 minutes of connection. A look at the status page of the model display this as the upstream variables: Channel Lock Status US Channel Type Channel ID Symbol Rate Frequency Power 2 Locked ATDMA 4 5120 kSym/s 38.40 MHz 57.00 dBmV Downstream appears fine but I can provide those if helpful. The coaxial cable was installed through the crawl space of the home and as of right now I'm not clear on the layout of the wiring job. I'm willing to believe the wiring was done in an effort to quickly have it done and over with. I am nota Cox Complete Care customer and I'm not certain if the cost would be worth while to have someone come and re-work the line so I can maintain solid connect.Would anyone be able to say if paying for the service would help the issue or would it be better to do-it-myself. Also are their any solid resources available that may help me with the job of ensuring the line going to the modem is good?2.7KViews1like6CommentsDirect burial coax cable
We are moving our internet services to a house which is serviceable yet there needs to be a line run from the home to the street, a total distance of about 700-feet. We planned on installing the line from the house ourselves, and are wondering if RG-11 Direct Burial Coax with a signal amplifier isthe right type to use. The technician can then connect the buried line to the pole. We are wiring the connection into the house with RG-6 coax.Any feedback would be appreciated.499Views0likes1Comment
