Question

Arris g36 drops internet constantly


Forum|alt.badge.img

We have an Arris G36 with a router mesh system and our Nvidia shield plugged into it. Both the wifi to the router and the ethernet connection drops 5-10 times a day. I have rebooted it, unplugged it for 5 minutes, reset it. disconnected everything and reconnected. Nothing seems to fix it.

Could you please let know the name of your internet service provider and the speed plan which you subscribed from them? 

we recommend checking the cable signal levels within the gateway. If the signal levels are out of the acceptable range, they can lead to the kind of connectivity issues you're experiencing.

Cable signal levels are like the volume and clarity of a conversation between your modem and your internet provider. If the signal is too weak or too strong, it can cause communication issues—just like it would be hard to hear someone whispering from far away or shouting too loudly in your ear.

When the signal levels are within the recommended range, your modem can maintain a stable, high-quality connection to the internet

Please refer to the link below for instructions on how to check your cable signal levels:

If you find that the signal levels are not within the recommended range, we suggest contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to have them reviewed and adjusted as needed.

These are the numbers I get and not sure if they are acceptable or not. I have Breezeline and it’s 1gig of speed.

For your reference, the downstream QAM levels are within the acceptable range. However, the upstream levels are not. Please refer to the acceptable signal level ranges below and compare them with the actual signal values from your G36 gateway to help identify the issue.

Upstream Transmit Power Level
Index Symbol Rate Acceptable Upstream Power Levels 
Single (1) 1280 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 61 dBmV
2560 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 58 dBmV
5120 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 57 dBmV
Two (2) 1280 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 58 dBmV
2560 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 55 dBmV
5120 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 54 dBmV
Three or more (>=3) 1280 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 55 dBmV
2560 Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 52 dBmV
5120Kysm/sec 45 dBmV to 51 dBmV
