Modem keeps restarting
1 hour ago, Hikaru12 said:I found -this- signal booster which is bidirectional which I've heard some good things from. I might use that with your suggestion of a 2 way splitter. I've been planning on switching the home phone which goes from POTS to Coaxial over a RJ11 adapter modem to Google Voice w/ a Odaheim box. I want to get this sorted out now before I upgrade to a Docsis 3.1 modem w/ a 200Mbps plan (right now I'm running a 25mbps which is starting to not cut it anymore) because I've heard Docsis 3.1 specs are even more tighter and stringent.
Your better off contacting your provider. They can trace where the issue is. We had higher power on our upstream for the longest time. Our neighbor called about here TV kept cutting out. Ended up the drop we were on was bad. Now power levels on upstream are low to mid 40s. It sounds like you have two modems connected to your service as well, one for internet and one for voice. I would say get rid of the phone service. Buy a better modem and check your lines between the line from the pole and your modem. Make sure the line is not bad or any of the connectors are not bad.
Also, if your willing, you can take your modem outside to where the line comes in to your house, unhook the cable before the grounding block and plug it in to the modem. Get signal reading from there. Thats a good way to tell if the issue is on their end or your end. Because if the signal is shit coming from the pole, then its not an issue on your end.
