Hello all, thanks for takin a look at my post.
I decided to go into my modem administration for the first time and took a look
at the event log. This is what I see (can someone sort of decipher what this stuff means)
and if any of this is bad?

My Internet Service Provider is TWC - Roadrunner (I believe my package is) 5Mbit/394Kbps. Im in a college neighborhood, and I dont ever see those speeds.
Do these cable signal details make any sense ?
