Hi Comcast forum-eers,

 

I'm hoping to activate a second service at a residential address. The homeowner is worried activating the second service will disrupt theirs. I have my modem plugged in and powered on and I'm ready to activate my service. Based on the information below, can you see a reason I shouldn't complete the activation?

 

The Comcast signal comes into a powered CSMAPDU5VP MoCA amplifier (with MoCA filter) where the signal splits into two:

1. The first line goes to the homeowner's modem, a Technicolor CGM4140COM (modem 1);

2. The second line goes to my modem, a Netgear CM400 (modem 2).

 

The coaxial signal to each modem is acceptable:

1. Modem 1 https://imgur.com/a/cHO9p3V 

2. Modem 2 https://imgur.com/a/AWRJZCU (the high number of uncorrectables has remained the same for at least the past four hours)

(Acceptable according to all sources considered, such as https://www.speedguide.net/faq/what-cable-modem-signal-levels-are-considered-good-78 and https://www.motorolacable.com/documents/CableConnection.pdf)

 

What do you think? Thanks for considering!

Maybe the OP can have their own account and service installed using the address that includes 'Apt 1' or something like that to uniquely identify a new cable connection.

Thanks! Yes, it's a second account. I'll make sure that the service address has an apartment number to differentiate it - it doesn't currently!
