Have you tried accessing the modem using http://192.168.100.1? My ISP
provisions the cable modem too but I can access it and see the signal
levels. The resistance in the outside cable will vary 3 or 4dbmv from the
cool nights to the heat in the middle of the day. If your levels are on the
ragged edge during the cooler temps then they might go out of range during
the heat.
