if my comcast business modem has SNR of 40 with downstream power level 10.5 and upstream level of 47 can amplifier help with signal drops?

Oh also I forgot to add that this amplifier should always be a last option. If possible I would have Comcast give you another drop off pol if Indeed your using a splitter. I bought this amplifier to solve the same exact issue your having and while it did solve my problem I ended up getting my cable provider to give me a second drop and my signal is now perfect.

If your signal to noise ratio is above 29db then it's outstanding. If you have alot of noise on your line then the amp will amplify the noise as well as the signal. So in this case an amplifier is ok. Now your downstream power level leaves much to be desired. The closer to zero the better and at 10.5 your almost at the point where your modem can't hear the signal from the node. seeing that you have low noise on the line that tells me your coax lines are good and since your upstream db is 47 and within spec then the node can hear your modem just fine. So that tells me your drop from the pole is really long probably over 100 feet I'm guessing? In this case I would say yes this amplifier is an excellent solution to your problem, but I would stress that one you try to have a direct drop without splitters if possible because your cable tv could be the culprit here and second put the amplifier at the point of the coax entrance to your home for best performance. Good luck and I hope I helped.

to get a good signal split into two unfortunately you will have to invest in a rocketfish amplified splitter(Best buy,maybe amazon) this one won't quite hack it.

If your problem with the cable box channels is signal degradation, then yes. If the problem isn't related to weak signal strength, then no.

Depends on your floor material, if wood needn't, if cement I'm afraid the signal will drop to very low level and you'd best get a repeater or deployment another router.

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.

Yes, absolutely.. although you should probably disable the Comcast wireless feature and hard-wire the modem to the router for best throughput. You might want to consider returning it to Comcast, though, and just invest in a new cable modem that's optimized for the AC features (DOCSIS 3.0).. unless the Comcast modem is already DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Note that DOCSIS 3.1 is due out in 2014, but I doubt you would want to wait that long.

This splitter will amplify any signal supplied to it. However, it won't help with reception. If the input signal to the splitter is intermittent or noisy, the splitter won't help with that. In my case, the cable into my house had several splits before it came to my cable modem. Installing this splitter boosted a weak, but otherwise intact, signal back up to a useable level.

Yes, the Winegard HDA-200 amp should increase or improve signal that is typically lost with long cable runs.

Yes, this will help if you have a low signal level getting to your modem. If you don't have too low a signal level then it will do nothing useful. In other words if your signal is lower than about (negative) -13dBmV this may help. If it's higher it won't.

I think you mean modem, or modem-router combination product. It's possible but not nearly as well. The cable provider is supposed to get an acceptable signal level to your premises then this booster should be put on the line at that point, before any further splits in the cable so that your signal to noise ratio stays high instead of just picking up the noise then amplifying it too. In other words this product is only meant for two specific situations, VERY long cable runs (&gt; hundreds of feet) or a high # of splitters on the line. If neither of these situations are present then you may just need the cable co to verify their signal strength is at an acceptable level and that your on-site cabling, connectors, and splitters are in good condition. Many used years ago were poor quality and some even pot metal casing ground that oxidizes and becomes a poor electrical connection, as well as bare copper conductor that oxidizes over time.

Look up the db loss per foot for RG-6 times the number of feet. I forget what that number is, but it is readily available. For every 3 db loss, you are loosing 1/2 the signal strength. Put the amplifier as close as possible to the external antenna, so the signal gets amplified before the cable loss. If you have a very weak signal to start with, 300 feet is probably too long. However, if you have a stronger signal to start with, it might work.

Because unless your an electrician or cable specialist that information is unnecessary. Main focus is the Ghz level. Obviously the higher the better which allows more signal for services. Good luck recommend 2Ghz or higher for better performance. Kyle CAE Xfinity Tech Support 1-800-comcast

I agree with the others. Splitting the signal will reduce the strength but you can try the one to see. The product is definitely worth a try for the initial cost.

Ideally get rid of all the splitters and use something like this instead "PCT 8 Port Bi-Directional Cable TV Splitter Signal Booster/Amplifier with Active Return Zero Signal Loss and VoIP Telephone Bypass", and power it directly using the power port. Be sure to trace your cable and get rid of any extraneous splitters.

Only if your lack of signal clarite is due to a ground looping itself through the circuit. If your signal is bad just because you are out of range then no, it will not help.

Yes , but not 40 feet down the cable. This is a signal pre-amplifier, system. It consist of the pre-amplifier and a power supply. The pre-amplifier should be installed as close to the antenna as possible. The power supply can be installed anywhere along the cable, though. It will definitely boost the signal levels for you.It should be good for 3 devices up to about 200 feet.

yes, signal will dilute with each connection and length of cable. Need to buy a good amp too ~$100.
