I have two counters that are high in the event log. ANything bad here?

Is there a problem with your connection? Upload and download speeds
what you expect for Comcast?

No, my connection seems to be OK. Just want to know more about the error log
and whether the signal strength is OK.

Go to www.dslreports.com , cable modem FAQs. You will find the
appropriate ranges for the SNR and power levels. I don't know about the
log entries, but my guess is they are meaningless to the user and don't
reflect a problem with the modem.

Can't ask for any better numbers on the signal strengths, and your SNR
is excellent as well.


CIAO!
