tell me does this sound correct c7000 modem router
ok i got this modem last week and it took some time to get it connected to comcast. after about 2 hours they did it. turned out i was told it was new in the box but it must have been a return and was...

so tell me if i do not actually have devices that need the extra channels they may not even turn on then? the download channels may just turn on by default, but maybe i do not have devices that are asking for those extra channels? just wondering.
the channels locking are a combination of whatever your ISP has setup for your partioning/the cmts/and the signal strength. upload speeds aren't nearly the same as download so 3 channels is sufficient to saturate your upload speeds in most cases. Even my gigabit only has a 35mbps upload which a single channel could saturate.
it might be the signal.
Take a screen snip of the modem connection page. make sure to get everything. upload/download/snr/correctables/etc. this shows us that connection back to comcast. Its kind of key.
what speeds do you pay for?
What speeds do you get over a hardwired connection? (not wireless)
If you have any amplifiers, splitters,attenuators in the coax line, remove them.
I'd also check the line for kinked cable, damaged cable, loose connection, corroded connections, extended runs, or cheap/poor cable and connections. Ideally, directly connect the modem to right where it enters the home. this prevents the cable in your home from being the issue.

what speeds do you pay for? i pay for 100mbps
What speeds do you get over a hardwired connection? (not wireless) 100 up to 120mbps

here is the snip. but just so you know i'm not complaining just asking if i may expect the rest of the upstream will show theya re connecting? thanks
Probably not. I'm on gigabit and only have 4 locked channels. If I recall correctly, when i had the C7000 I was on 200/20 and only had 3 locked.
You're connection strength on your upload is border line. Minimum recommended is 35-37dbmv. You're right at that threshold. Over it for now but its just a snip in time. If you do have issues with upload dropping, I'd log back in and check it.
thanks. because i do not have anymore event log entries, i leaning on the modem doing what is should. and the upstream you say is on the edge, it may do better and then maybe not. but like i said i do get the downstream i normally see. and the upsteam is what they give me now so i do not expect to see that go any nigher. and like i was asking was becasue i have a modem that has the 24 x 8 channels if i may see more u/s channels at all. so it is sounding like the d/s are mroe forgiving than the u/s channels are. thanks
