Click on the tab for signal levels then use this guide to make sure you do not have a problem you would need a tech out to fix.

American Zombie said:Maybe you found the root of the problem.
The connection to modem should be unfiltered but all connections to TV's should have a filter on them. Mine has two connections coming out of the box outside with the unfiltered one going to modem and filtered one going to TV's.
Kermit_The_Frog said:The splitter might be the problem cable goes in home and most times split one time to a tv then to modem , now if you split the cable again you have taken your signals below spec and thats a problem. Try to hook your modem to the cable without splitting, and cable companies use filters to stop people with internet from getting free tv if they only have internet package , the signal for the tv is filtered out.
American Zombie said:What splitters you have matters as well.
I would get some RG-6 cable at someplace like Home Depot then run another line straight from box outside to cable modem so it does not have a splitter on it.
The filter the tech put on the TV side he said was to prevent them from getting interference.

TittleBitties said:Edit: One problem though...modem only works with USB. I can't get it to connect with ethernet cable. Any ideas?
Yes I did that tooAmerican Zombie said:Did you powercycle modem after changing from USB to network card?
When changing from USB to network card or vice-versa you have to powercycle modem so it releases the MAC address of network card or USB connection. Reason is Comcast only allows modems to acquire one USB or network card MAC address so if you change your connection type you must powercycle modem (reboot it).
