========
Signal strength logging for Arris/Motorola [Surfboard 6141](http://surfboard.com/products/sb6141/) modem.

## Overview:  
Script I wrote to scrape the pertinent data from my modem's web portal.  The modem does keep logs but I was interested in keeping data on the actual signal strength and SNR.  The surfboard 6141 is a pretty widely used modem so I'm sharing in hopes someone else can find use / improve it.  
###### The script compiles and logs:
* Downstream Signal
* Upstream Signal  
* SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)  
* Error Correction Rate

## Sample output:

## Setup  
##### Dependencies:  
`python3`  
`BeautifulSoup`

##### Config:  
Modem.log is created automatically and is by default stored in the same directory.  
Set IP variable to your modem's IP, the default on my model was http://192.168.100.1/cmSignalData.htm  
If you need to change the IP ensure you include the suffix `/cmSignalData.htm`  
The page you are aiming for looks like this:

![Alt text](https://s30.postimg.org/76e7gd5kh/4034_signal.png "Your page should look like this")

Signal thresholds are measured in **dB** (decibels) or **dBmV** (decibel millivolts) are adjusted through their _high or _low variables, example:

downstream_high = 10  
    downstream_low = -10

The default values are fairly standard but your provider may have different tolerances.

## Usage:  
I set it as a cron job and have it run every 20 minutes.  
0,30 * * * * python3 ~/surfboard_log.py
