Resolve Cable Modem Disconnects

[Judah R]

I thought I would share this with you guys. The last couple weeks I've been getting disconnected from the internet / FFXIV and I thought it was caused by a weak cable signal I was getting sometimes. I found this little broadband signal amp and it has worked.



This was my signal without the amp....



and this is signal with the amp...



Here is a video explaining it....


I don't know all the technical stuff... but it improved my connection and I don't disconnect anymore... I hope this helps if anyone has internet connectivity problems. I bought the AMP online from Ebay for $48 +$3 shipping.

I use to use a similar device when I had Comcast. The tech actually gave it to me for free. I had to have them come out a whole bunch of times cause it was showing a weak signal. In my case it only helped a little bit. The modem would still lose the signal and try to reconnect but it wouldn't. After several more visits I got somebody who was thorough and checked the cables coming into the house. (They were old.) He checked the cable going off to the modem. It was connected to a splitter from the main line. When he unscrewed it the male end was almost completely withdrawn into the cable. He told me he didn't know how I was even getting a signal at all. That was the problem the whole time and the other technicians didn't even bother to check. >.>
