20Mb Query

[Casbar]

Ok, how do you get the cable modem info, how do you interigate the cable modem? Done a search but no answer is forthcoming. I have the 20Mb service, but never get more than 13 Mb, tech support told me its my computer having too many open ports.

For modem info, type 192.168.100.1 into browser user & pass are root.

Wait with baited breath to see how many open orts are considered too many.

Thanks, was told by the gentleman in India, anything over 5 open ports is too many, and as I have around 10, then that is why I have a slow speed

There's my 20Mb connection. It's great.

XP by default has 10 half open on mine it's 50 cannot see it being a problem.

I have just compared all 3 of my posted upstream power levels, which were...

38.0 dBmV, 35.0 dBmV, and 38.0 dBmV

Looks like the repull has returned my upstream power level back to the same as it was before the engineer removed the isolater that was in my white box inside my home (he said this was no longer needed at time of removal) and upgraded the modem from 255 to 256 model.

Downstream SNR looks to be at an ideal level. Also, downstream power level has increased to be nearer the ideal level.
