Poor Downstream connection
Just upgraded my modem/router. New device (CAX80) has an option to show cable connection quality.
my internet access and Upstream status are green, but Downstream status is red.
there is another post with similar issue which has been resolved by replacing the cable line from the pole.
however, we live in an apartment building and no idea where we have the pole line coming into the building and no idea what type of cables and how many splitters are between that line to our unit. My modem/router is directly connected to wall coaxial outlet using a brand new coaxial cable from Xfinity.
See Modem connection report below:
Status: Poor
Action:
[Downstream Power Level]
Try these actions (Click the Refresh button after each step):
1) Make sure the coaxial cable is tightly connected.
2) Remove any unnecessary splitters.
3) Replace any required splitters.
4) Contact your service provider for troubleshooting help.
Internet Access: Good
Downstream Status: Bad
Downstream Power Level: Bad
Downstream power is poor (-23.4dBmV). The recommended level is between -10dBmV to 10dBmV.
Downstream SNR: Good
Upstream Status: Good

The downstream power is terrible / out of spec ! MDU's (multiple dwellings) can typically be troublesome for cable. You may want to first contact the building owner / maintenance / management about this. There may be bad wiring / hardware and / or an amplifier that is not powered on somewhere. Building owners are typically responsible for maintaining / repairing internal coax wiring / hardware. Good luck !
