What is the "Frequency start Value?"

Model: NetGear CAX80, Nighthawk 

 

Setting up cable modem for the first tme. How do I handle this question? 

Frequency start Value
This field below allows you to modify the frequency the cable modem start with its scan during initialization and registration. Enter the new start frequency and restart the cable modem for it to take effect.

 

Where do I find the "new start frequench?" Thank you.

  • Have deployed 3 Netgear modems and never worried about the start value. Just let the modem figure things out and I get the subscribed speed.

    labatt is correct. The start value is set by your ISP when its provisioned. Nothing to mess with.
