A lot of it looks fine…all expect my signal levels…is it fine or is it too low? At my old house it only ranged from -5.3 to -5.7 here it seems to have gotten worst (at my new house).
I figure as long as you’re not losing any packets it should be fine.
Theres plenty of cheap ways to increase your signal strength; While they may be unsightly, they would work.
One method is to ‘direct’ the signal towards something of significance instead of having it radiate out in all directions. Meet the parabola.
And yes, these are the ‘nicer’ scenarios.
Long story short, you can just put a parabolic piece of paper covered in tinfoil onto one of your antenna to get a boost.

I should have made myself more clear, it’s digital so it’s direct cable. I was thinking it could have been a splitter, but I don’t know I just wanted to know if I should call about it or not. Because at the other house the tech told me if it reached -7.0 I should call.
A problem my grandmother had:
Follow your splitters back to the original coaxial. From there, split the cable to go to 1) Your router. 2) Rest of the house.
Her router was so far up the tree that we were getting terrible signal from it being pulled so thin.
If that’s not the case or doesn’t do it, there’s a chance your splitter has worn out. You can get’em at RadioShack, but they’re $15. >.< Your cable company might have’em cheaper or even free.
Seems there was a problem. The guy who first hooked it up, put the TV cable into the internet and the other was a white cable cord which was hooked up to a TV was ment for the internet. Thread Locked.
