Hi all,

Someone recently posted that he saw a big drop in cable
modem signal power going through a splitter. I'm hoping it
was on this list, not on one of the other lists I read.

In any case, I have cable coming into my home office. I
have a cheap crappy splitter then one side goes into my
cable modem and the other goes to a cable amp then to
two cable tuners (soon to be three).

Often, in the early afternoon, the cable modem will
disconnect and I'll have intermittent use for hours
and then it just as mysteriously comes back and is solid
for many hours again.

I'm using a LinkSys cable modem, and the CD that came
with it is useless. Can someone point me to a utility to
let me know what the box is doing? (SNMP?) I hope to
monitor signal strength while changing cabling.

Many thanks,
Chris Schumann
