Cm1000 health check
I don't know what any of this means. Can someone please tell me if everything looks good or should I schedule a tech to come check things out.

It means your power levels are half way decent. They're a little out of spec as the downstream should be within 3.5dbmv of each other. They just a little bit out of that but you're not showing any errors in the line.
are you having issues?

no issues streaming movies or web surfing, but when i’m gaming something feels off. i get a lot of micro stutters during gun fights in apex legends, my fps will drop. i have the cm 1000 and xr500. everything looks good on my end. i have gig speeds. with no packet loss. could the out of spec power levels be the reason for this? from the main drop it’s hooked up to a ground block, from there i have it connected to a poe filter directly connected to a 2 way splitter. then i have a coax running to modem and the other to dvr box.

have you tried it with the game console connected directly to the modem?
- AverageJoe88Apr 28, 2021Aspirantyeah i tried that i was still stuttering during gun fights but i’m good now. i just bought a samsung ssd and put all my games on there and did a factory reset on the xbox. so much better now. gameplay feels much smoother and more responsive. just a quick question though, is there a way to get my power levels specs to where they need to be. i replaced all the coax cables, and removed all splitters but 1. and also using a ground block and poe filter.

Is there a reason you have a poe filter? (maybe you mean a moca filter?)
Have you tried going splitter--->modem
