Hi my upstream power level is 31.50 dbmv which for my modem is quite low and am experiencing frequent ping spikes. Will this boost the upstream power?

Cody, I have an amplified distribution box. I tried increasing the amplification but my Tv started to periodicallyBlack out because of the excessive boost so I bought this device to boost only the cable going to my modem.I have not had any more problems since.

A power level of 31.5 dBmV is actually right were you want to be, and you are likely close to the head end equipment. Installing a booster will not raise the power level, but it could lower it further which would not be desirable. A power level in the 30's is usually a good thing. You might have to take your question to your cable provider.

The key issue I found this device fix for me is the channels dropping off due to the upstream power having to stay at the top of the range. After a period of time, the modem would drop a channel off. Are all three channels bonding consistently? The Megapath speed test (free) will show your ping, jitter, and dropped packets of your internet connection. I utilized this device only after 3 site visits by the cable company failing to correct the problem. My specific situation put the power observed between 42 and 49. I do find from time to time I have to reboot my modem still, but overall the speed and stability is much better, and I have their most premium service. I would have the cable company (using screen shots of your megapath testing) come out and address the issue, as they may tweak their system to address the ping issue. However, depending on your service provider, be ready for a difficult process. I had to purchase my own Motorola modem first to prove them wrong on their statements about my equipment (their rental unit), my house wiring, etc.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

You've probably made a decision by now, but I'll answer anyway. Yes, it will improve signal power levels, but it's unlikely to improve quality with such a high SNR already. I'd leave it be unless your cable company suggests that your return signal needs improvement. You'd likely end up with a +7 dBmV, an SNR of 35-38, and a return level of 38 dBmV.I'd see if your cable company can come troubleshoot the signal first. Amplifiers should only be used for low signal at the point of entry or for a home with many outlets and splitters.

It depends on the router and the obstructions. Mine (TP-Link) has produced a signal of a couple of hundred feet. I don't know if it's consistant tho.

800' probably exceeds the limits of the IP Networking and power (PoE) provided. More importantly, the vendor has discontinued this product, so support is extremely limited. If you can return it if it doesn't work, great. If it works, buy a backup while you can.

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

I am planning on putting two WiFi extenders in two different parts of the house. One part has its own separate wiring. Will this one still amplify the signal from the modem?

I have the same exact setup. The combo modem router isn't an issue. it's the speed of your DSL that is important. In my opinion 10mpbs/1mpbs is the minimum or you get dropped calls or breakup especially on the upload side which is slower.

Sorry, don't know. I didn't have much luck with it boosting my cable signal.

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

According to the manufacturer's website, it will support speeds up to 343Mbps downstream and 122 Mbps upstream. However, check with your cable provider to make sure it will work at the speeds you need using their network. Brighthouse seems to think it wouldn't be acceptable for their Lightning 300 Mbps package.Sources:http://www.ubeeinteractive.com/products/cable/voice-gateways/dvw3201b-advanced-wireless-voice-gatewayhttp://support.brighthouse.com/Article/Modem-User-Guide-Fact-Sheet-9115/

I don't know, but it works fine in my 100' signal application. I'm not drawing power over Ethernet.

You'll need to have a really strong feeder signal from your router. It says 70%, but you're going to need more like 85%

To all when you are sending a signal never use over a 5 to 7dbi from the router if you go higher dbi the path becomes narrower. Now when you are receiving a signal you can go as high as 9 to 12dbi. Just make sure you are using good antennas. Mike

I had a similar issue and contacted my ISP. The rep tested the signal strength and told me it was low because I had one of their older cable modems. He upgraded it at no charge and I haven't had any problems since. My cable company is notorious for always upgrading their hardware, but only new customers get it until you complain. Hope this helps.

I have Linksys G router and I needed two, but they really didnt seem to help much, another better router would help more, or put an update of tomato or some other firmware that allows you to boost power.

It starts at 88.1. I will say that I am in L.A. and the transmission power seems higher than other's I've used in the past. How well it works in the available bandwidths in your location you can only tell by trying.
