That's a routeable IP address. That means your modem
is probably working.

>Downstream Value
>Frequency 711000000 Hz Locked


That's the frequency used for downloading. 711MHz.

>Signal to Noise Ratio 37 dB


SNR is fine. It should be greater than 33 dB SNR.

>Power Level -1 dBmV


Anything between -10 dBmV and +10 dBmV will work. -1 is fine.

>Upstream Value
>Channel ID 15
>Frequency 38000000 Hz Ranged


That's the frequency used by the return channel. 38MHz.

>Power Level 43 dBmV


Normal. 30 to 55 dBmV is acceptable.

See if the values change when it craps out. I'm fairly sure they
will.
