CAX80 Poor Cable Connection

Question

I have a CAX80 with Spectrum internet, and I noted that the Cable Connection indicates a "Poor" Status and and downstream status indicates 11.0dBmV which appears to on the high side of the recommended range. I have double/triple checked all cables inside the home, and have only not checked the outside connection into the house.

I still get decent/good speeds, but should it be a cause for concern?

Get a -6dbm cable coax line attenuator to install after the modem and coax cable line.&nbsp;
