Superhub install tomorrow

As the search will bring up 1000's of threads can anyone give me a quick tolerance range for up/down power levels and also SNR ranges for the superhub as I'm getting 50Mb installed tomorrow. Just want to be able to check the levels before the engineer leaves

Thanks in advance

Re: Superhub install tomorrow

It's the engineer's job to check the levels, but for reference the recommended range is:

-7 to +7dB downstream and the closer to zero the better
At least 35dB SNR
35-55dB upstream.

Re: Superhub install tomorrow

Thank you Qasi

Currently on my old 2050 modem I get

Upstream 38.0 dBmV
Downstream 5.8 dBmV
SNR 41.0 dB

Re: Superhub install tomorrow

Optimum is -3 to +7

Upstream 35 to 55

Your signals are perfect, I wouldn't waste an attenuator on that

Re: Superhub install tomorrow

Pah they did some stuff in Edinburgh that dropped my downstream levels from -3 to -8. Had a 15dB FPA on and can't find my 10, so my choices now are -8 with the attenuator or +12 without it. Urgh.

Re: Superhub install tomorrow

My only worry is that I want the 2050 leaving on as well for the next 45 days, will this effect the signal much having two on the same cable? For reference it'll be the only two devices as I don't bother with TV

Modem, a bit like a 250 but with more memory and NAT capability

LOL, -8 + 15 = 7 Take it off


Edinburgh is split with many types of architecture, has your upstream changed

Yeah but the FPA is weird - I took it off and it went to +12.

Yeah, my upstream changed, but not until a few weeks after my downstream did.

Re: Superhub install tomorrow

Those down power levels could be a little lower.

8 down channels.. very nice. would you be willing to set up a ping monitor

Re: Superhub install tomorrow
