CM1000 Event Log Error Messages
Where can I find information about the error messages in my event log? I've been having intermittent internet problems over the past week, so I checked the event log. One entry for today is: DHCP REN...
post the full event logs and the cable connections page. Those in conjunction together lets us check your line.
(a screen snip is easier to read)
Thanks for your help. I've attached snips of the event log going back several days, along with the cable connection page.I've combined the snips into a PDF, but please let me know if there is a better way to share that.
Does any of that show anything helpful?
You missed channel 17-24. So not sure about those channels.
Your upstream power is really low. It should be >37 and you're lower than that.
Your logs also indicate a line issue.
I'd check your line for amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters. Check the line for damage, kinks, old/bad/damaged/loose connections
Thanks - I'll check the line. I know there is a splitter because the co-ax originally got split to three lines for three areas of the house. Since the coax only needs to go to the modem, there is probably a more direct way to connect things.
Would the low power upstream lead to intermittent problems, or is that more likely due to a bad cable connection somewhere?
The upstream power is the modem sending its signal to the cmts. If you're really close the the hub, we expect it to be a little lower with power levels increasing as you get further away and more degredations to the signal.
Your downstream powers indicate your not far away but you should have higher upstream based on your downstream.
