I sold my ONX620 and bought a fully optioned 630 with ingress expert. You must have this option to fully test ingress as it has the auto agc adjustment where you can fine tune the rf level into the meter so it doesn't go into overload. If you detect ingress at the GB I would then use the JDSU Smart ID Plus system with Smart ID's and check the ingress on each drop inside the house. The Smart ID Plus has sweep mode which tests splitter throughput at the same time. If you detect ingress on a drop put a terminator on it and check again. Ingress is tough. Can eat up your day.
@@chuklhed9092 ingress sucks lol I tell my customers that have intermittent internet that ingress will mess up anything you have connected to your modem gaming and electronics or streaming Netflix etc etc
lose connectors on the amplifier , tv out non filtred, and nonconform cables that customer use sometimes or maybe a manual connectors placing when customer think that he can make his own connection
What's up cable family, I have a question about a job I had recently. A yr long issue, cust has pixelation on video. Being the 3rd tech there; I replace the drop from the tap to the gb. And the equipment. And also referred to maintenance. Cust has a microwave right next to the modem and her set top box. Would the microwave cause interference?
If your good at the ground block its in the house for sure. I really like the JDSU Smart ID Plus system which when used with the another Smart Plus can sweep the customers wiring to out to 1.5 gig. The PLUS ID outputs the sweep and the regular Smart ID's see it and report. It will show all splitter's and taps and do ingress tests. There's something sneaky in the walls thats getting you. Smart ID Plus will find it.
99 times out of 100 its a loose connector behind a modem...the one time its not it is a lose connector behind the modem. I have about 75% of the people I filter for ingress get reconnected with even attempting to repair.
@@hotrodsather It was very difficult. The easement was a nightmare and even if the plant was street side, the traffic was very difficult to work around. The food is great though 😋
Whenever I do an ingress scan at the ground block, it reads "excessive ingress" unless i unhook the cpe inside the home first. Should the boxes be causing noise like that?
I've heard a "world box" can cause that issue on the meter. Otherwise equipment should be silent on the upstream without downstream going to it. I've also heard of a possible update from Viavi to help correct the message as well. Also check to see if your "AUTO AGC" is turned on in your ingress scan program.
You pretty much have a locked Viavi w/o full ingress expert. They have different types of Viavi's they issue out and yours is probably the 2,000 dollar one without all the options. And yes, the equipment will cause feedback spikes that will lead you to go "OVERRANGE" so they recommend you disconnect ALL equipment in the house, put a barrel on it before running a one check out the ground block. As for seeing ingress, unless you got a DSAM say goodbye to that! You gotta just do what you can (or replace the line) to fix it till the meter no longer says "OVERANGE". There is supposedly a "patch" to fix that but all they did was change "OVERANGE" to "EXCESSIVE INGRESS"
The ONX620 does not have the range adjustment in Ingress mode you must use a pad till its happy. The ONX630 has an agc adjustment you can turn the level up and down till the ingress level is good. Port #2 is very sensitive to rf level unlike Port #1. The ONX630 is fantastic as it has Heatmap and Noise selections in ingress mode really shows any issue quite clearly.

Ingress is my favorite. It's like a treasure hunt. Find the culprit.

@@abelgaming7332 I always enjoyed it 🤷
Can you do a vid on how to read this, what each color is and what is good and bad for each?

Lol yeah
Any help with LTE 5G bleeding into my plant? Any troubleshooting tips.
What is the frequency split on this particular node?
Your typical 42mhz split system.

It could but generally only when it is cooking something. Would have better odds of messing with the wifi since it is a similar frequency range.
I’ve had this issue occurred with cordless telephones.

Always! Just that 1/8th turn makes a world of difference!
I did ingress in NY for a few years. The easement in Brooklyn was unlike any other.
@@chuklhed9092 Do tell....I am very curious about working cable in NY
@@hotrodsather It was very difficult. The easement was a nightmare and even if the plant was street side, the traffic was very difficult to work around. The food is great though 😋
@@chuklhed9092 hopefully it wasn't all ladder work. :x

My company taught us to check a true ingress on drop or outlet you need to put barrel and terminator on the other end.
Kyle Sanders that’s common sense

I live in NYC , I work in the cable industry. Ingress is a major problem here in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Manhattan 🦺🥾🥽
