Dropping connections and fluctuating speeds
Hello, Hoping to get some explanations here as I am still trying to understand how it all works. I am an xfinity customer with a 50 Mbps. I’ve had the Service for a year. After reading online revie...
a couple things.
1. thats a moca line filter. If you don't use moca adapters you don't need it as it can cause issues.
2. that grounding wire is horrible.
3. can't tell but zooming in on the end of that coax cable but the jack looks fine but not sure if the cable is dirty or in poor condition. tough to tell from the photo
I have been issue free since I bypassed the filter. I think I’m going to replace it with a standard ground block and redo that ground wire. What you say on the cable (and ground wire) is layers and layers of paint and dirt. It really does look like garbage.
you might just be able to direct connect that connection and see how it does.
If you still get the errors, then you'd need to look at the rest of the line and other connections.
