    I've got an issue with this firmware reporting my cable connection as "Poor" even though I'm getting full upstream bandwidth (41+ Mbps of a theoretical 40 Mbps max).

      nsne have you started your own thread?

      Make sure to include a screen snip of the cable connections page and event logs.

        Hey, plemans. No, I haven't started my own thread (yet). FURRYe38 signed off saying, "Let us know how it works for you..." so I was obliging that request.

         

        I'm attaching a screenshot of the text output from the Cable Diagnostics. I didn't include the event logs, as they seem to have some MAC info in there that I'd rather not post publicly.
