Motorola Surfboard 5101 cable modem. (I know it is an old Docsis 2 modem)

Everytime I go to http://192.168.100.1/ and click on "Logs" the connection drops.

Signals

Downstream Value
Frequency 693000000 Hz
Signal To Noise Ratio 36.9 dB
Power Level -0.7 dBmV

Upstream Value
Channel ID 3
Frequency 32000000 Hz
Power 54.0 dBmV


It is connected with a splitter (110 dB EMI) from the wall. 1 3.5 dB to the cable box the other to the Modem. Also using a WRT54GL Router.

Have you tried resetting the modem and letting it pull the configuration file back down from your ISP?

http://192.168.100.1/ or http://192.168.1.100/ ?
Are you sure your country is listed correctly in router? check that too !

Sounds dangerous. (just kidding )

I may try directly plugging the modem into the pc and see if that makes a difference. I'm more interested in getting that upstream Power level down (on my own).

ya that's right

If you really want to tackle that upstream power, you may want to replace the splitter with a tap ? --> http://www.speedguide.net/faq/what-is-t ... -and-a-425

Something to consider, thanks.

Power level has gone down on its own. Must be that - degree weather. Now clicking on "help" also causes disconnects.

can i add with you?
