EDIT: After looking into it a little, the symbol rates appear to be the same between DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS even though the European channel plan consists of wider channels. I wonder if the Moto diag page has a misprint in it; maybe should be 3.2Mhz wide channel, 2.56 Msym/second. Oh well, I must be bored......

Yes, those levels look good. -10 to +10dBmv is the good range for a Docsis modem downstream. 50dBmv is on the high end, but still good for the upstream. I see it says 3.2 Msym/s symbol rate on the return. You must be located in Europe?

That also says half duplex. Is that server querying therockscotts pc or something in between?

I think so, but I haven't actually been on for a maonth or so. Do you like any particular server?

Actually, it's the only on line game I have ever played. It"s been a couple weeks, but my username is rightbehindya. Hope I have never slowed you down.... What is your's?

:shock: Scary. I predict nightmares tonight. If only Milli Vanilli was that good, maybe they would still be around.

Definitely bring that up, if your fluctuating from 41dBmv on up 59 dBmv on return power, then there is something going on. They will usually only fluctuate a couple dB with temperature swings outside, but not 18 dB. It could be anywhere, but you could check the obvious things like your connectors, make sure nothing is loose.

nachos- Under that Moto configuration, under "Signal", what is your downsteam power level, and your upsteam power level?

Those values are just the center frequency of the downstream and upstream carriers that your isp is using. i.e. 555000000 = 555MHz (channel 79 standard) and 29000000 = 29 MHz (the upstream frequency) They are not the data rates or caps of any kind.

Thanks, I think that's what I'll do. I'm sure it will be easier than trying to guess all of the default settings. BTW, great site you have here, lot's of great info and assistance.

I had run a third party program a while back that changed dozens of settings in the Firefox configuration files, and I don't think it helped. Just curious if anyone here knows a quick way to reset it back to the defaults , without going through the config and guessing? Appreciate the help-

McAfee just auto-stole $36(and some odd cents) out of my checking account at 2:30AM Saturday morning for the renewal that I don't recall asking for. I'm sure it was in the micro fine print somewhere. There customer service is only open M-F. I was thinking of trying out AVG or someone similar before this came up, but now I am definitely calling McAfee Monday and cancelling. Not that it was a terrible av, but maybe to spite them a bit. I am going to look into the suggested av programs from here also.

Here are some results after the tweak with Cable 4000/512 service. It looks pretty good. Can I do anything else? :::..

My bad, thanks VanBuren!
