The below levels are the acceptable ranges for a cable internet connection: Downstream Power Levels: between -10dBmV and +10dBmV Downstream SNRs: greater than 25dB Upstream Power Levels: between 35dBmV and 52dBmV Your connection’s signal levels can be viewed by you at any time by accessing the management interface on your modem (http:\/\/192.168.0.1 or http:\/\/192.168.1.1 or http:\/\/192.168.100.1). If you notice that your signal levels are out of range, please contact us immediately at helpdesk@Poynt360.ca or by calling us.
