I've been ok now for past 30 minutes or so.  At this point I'm going to blame it on some sort of maintenance unless those signal levels are unacceptable.

Yup.  I've checked all the connections I can.  I have no splitters.  It's a straight run.

To recap...just before my connection drops:

Downstream Power goes to about -6 dBmV - should be acceptable

SNR seems to remain in low 30's - should be acceptable

Upstream Power drops to low 20's - not sure about this one but I've read anything below 55 should be OK

Well at least I can keep capturing data since I'm dropping every 5 minutes.

Just before I dropped this time, my Upstream Power went down to 21.0 dBmV.  SNR looked like it stayed in the low 30's.

Please advise if all this should be under a different post.

Dropped again and was refreshing my diag page every half second or less.

I just dropped again and got these leterrally seconds before:

Downstream Power  -6.2 dBmV

SNR  32.1 dB

Upstream Power  41.5 dBmV

What's really funny is that I've dropped twice this morning while I've been posting to you guys.  Hahahaha.  I have to laugh.

Sure.  Here they are.

Downstream Power  0.6 dBmV

SNR  33.1 dB

Upstream Power  40.8 dBmV

Thanks all for the input.

I've been experiencing frequent drops in connection (around 13 in the past 48 hours..Comcast of course) and found that any time I do drop, I can't get into my modem's diagnostics page (192.168.100.1).  I know it's my cable connection and not anything else because the cable light goes out on my modem .  It's a Linksys BEFCMU10 ver3.  As soon as my cable connection comes back, I can get into the diag page.

In an attempt to see if it was the modem, I had a Motorola SB5120 set up.  Experienced the same thing.  Continued disconnects and the inability to connect to it's diagnostics page through the private IP.

Why on earth would I not be able to connect to my modem through the private IP?

So far I'm pleased with Comcast's most recent speed increase.  Just got bumped to 4000/384 and paid the extra $10 for an additional speed boost with advertised speeds of 6000/768.
