CAX 80 Downstrean Power level
I just replaced my cable modem with a Nighthawk CAX80. When I ran the modem information I got the following output, indicating a poor Downstream power level. Any suggestions on corrective measures?...

Power is too high for sure:

I'd find you a -6dbm coax cable line attenuator to put in between the CAX80 and ISP line.
Please post a copy and paste of the modems event log page.
