Choosing the Right Coaxial Cable for Internet Connection: Speed & Outdoor Usage - sebaele22 Inquiry

Question

Hello, I would like to drag the internet to another room in the apartment. I can't do it at home so I have to let the cable go outside. Does the type of coaxial cable affect the speed of the internet or something else, if so, which one to choose?

Regards sebaele22

Hello It's ok, when Receive jumps by a few decibels, something may be damaged, it's good for you. kisses

shadow125 · Answer

First, it's probably not coaxial Apply shielded twisted FTP cable and shield to ground. The cost of 1 m is about 1.50.

kasprzyk · Answer

Write what internet provider you have, draw a diagram, lengths, equipment. kisses

sebaele22 · Answer

Of course the coaxial cable, my ISP is Vectra cable TV.

kasprzyk · Answer

If you are moving the modem to a new place (without dividing it into an additional computer), you can use a typical SAT antenna cable - about PLN 1.5 / meter. You have not written what episode, you can pull up to 100m depending on the signal. (use F plugs and barrel for connections)

So I want to move the modem to another place and only connect one computer, and the distance is about 40m. Will there be some interference on the ordinary antenna cable?

kasprzyk · Answer

Check the readings on the modem - go to the page: 192.168.100.1 If you earn the cable well, wind up the F's, connect and the modem parameters will be in reserve - it will be ok. Kisses

sebaele22 · Answer

I went to this page: 192.168.100.1 and what next? Sory but I would like an explanation.

kasprzyk · Answer

What are your levels Power level Recieve Level, see upstream, downstream parameters

sebaele22 · Answer

It is like this with me: If wrong, how should it be and where are these upstream and downstream parameters?

kasprzyk · Answer

You cannot move this modem at these levels. 40m of cable + connectors - you already have too little of the longstream.
Report that you have problems with the internet to your operator, that your incoming signal is at -19 - and -15dB is acceptable.

Kisses

sebaele22 · Answer

What should the parameters of the incoming signal be and what does Receive Power Level and Transmit Power Level mean? What should the parameters be?

sebaele22 · Answer

Hello, I connected everything again and got a signal like this: Sometimes Receive Power Level changes to 6 dBmV, are the parameters correct?

sebaele22 · Answer

Thanks, and what should be the biggest Receive signal and is there any possibility to increase it?

kasprzyk · Answer

A maximum of +15 dB is recommended. The signal can be increased by the operator (on the amplifiers, or by reducing the attenuation to you) or by using an amplifier in the apartment - but it's better not to do this just consult the operator - you can "mess" with the TV or the Internet.

kisses

sebaele22 · Answer

And what do you mean to use an amplifier in the apartment?

kasprzyk · Answer

It has to be an amplifier with a return path, we only use building ones, e.g. AMIGO M 865 P30.
You will amplify the forward signal, but you are still limited by the upstream - that is, the return channel you have at 50dB - but exactly what do you need it for, is it an extension of the antenna cable?

Anonymous · Answer

Sorry for offtop. But is it possible to check something like this in the Motorola SB5101 modem?

kasprzyk · Answer

Try to go to the modem page 192.168.100.1

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know why, but I have something like about: blank, which is nothing.
I've tried before.
Computer directly connected to the modem via RJ-45.
The page loads quickly, but for example 192.168.100.2 it can't.
Maybe my provider blocked it.

Added after 30 [seconds]:

Pings also do not arrive.

sebaele22 · Answer

Does this signal have any influence on the link speed? If so, I'd like to make it stronger! And is the feedback channel at a good level?

kasprzyk · Answer

At the moment everything is fine, you will not feel any difference until -15 (the SNR parameter is also important - but you will not read it on this page, unless you have other tabs available) return channel max recommended 58dB (in practice it works even up to 60 dB - but such an extreme level is avoided) Kisses

Anonymous · Answer

Is it possible to check it with me?

kasprzyk · Answer

as you wrote, it is probably blocked, only available to the operator. try restarting the modem, a moment before logging in, some information may appear. kisses

sebaele22 · Answer

I do not have any tabs available, it means that my return and feedback signal is good, do not worry about anything?

Anonymous · Answer

If the modem is not logged in, i.e. the Online LED is flashing or not lit, you can enter there. There are even some settings.

sebaele22 · Answer

Hello again, some time ago I replaced the coaxial cables from the Internet and the Receive Power Level signal deteriorated: What could it be to blame!

kasprzyk · Answer

how many have you had before

sebaele22 · Answer

Before replacing the cable, I had this: I would like to add that I replaced the coaxial cables with a copper wire inside, and earlier I had a steel wire (whitewashed copper).
