Some isp's setup would leave channel 32 unlocked and lock in the ofdma channel. 

Are your speeds ok? 

Your signal doesn't look to bad but look like a few channels might have a little interference. Nothing thats horrible but you could always check your splitters/cable/connections to optimize.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Speeds are excellent.   200Mbits down, 7Mb up (pretty close to what we pay for)

     

    What about the unlocked Upstream?  There is 4 unlocked, shouldnt that be all unlocked UP?

      upstream is your upload. its standard for 3-4 to be locked to hit upstream speeds.

        I meant shouldnt they ALL be LOCKED upstream?

        Currently 4  of the 8 are locked.

        Also , isnt the netgear cm-1000 supposed to be  32 down and 16 up??
