CAX80 poor network status and sometimes network dropped

Hi, 

 

Not sure if anyone has the similar issue, please check the cable connection details shown below, it keep showing poor network status and I have changed a coax wire but it is not getting better. There is no splitter in the setup. Also in the event log there are multiple timeout logs. Please kindly advise if there is any. Thanks.

  • Your right. Your logs are indicating a line issue but the cable connections page is pretty spot on for looking good. 

    These types of issues are harder to track. 

    If you've changed out the coax and have a direct connection coming in, then the ISP would need to check it.
