Recommendations to resolving DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems crashing with OFDMA Place OFDMA channels above 42 MHz: For those fortunate with 5-65 MHz or 5-85 MHz return paths, keeping four 6.4 MHz SC-QAM signals below 42 MHz and then loading one OFDMA channel above 42 MHz is ideal. Your SC-QAM channels should be fully optimized with dynamic profile modulation up to 64-QAM. Then, by placing your OFDMA channel above 42 MHz, you’re ensuring its likely to be in a low noise environment. A bonus is that subscribers with in-home amplifiers
