Abstract
A network interface device includes an input-output port; an entry port; an upstream signal path configured to carry an upstream signal from the input-output port to the entry port; a noise suppressor, in the upstream signal path, that includes noise suppression paths between the input-output and entry ports; and a controller configured to: determine a first power level of the upstream signal in a first frequency band; determine a second power level of the upstream signal in a second frequency band; generate a control signal based on a first comparison of the first and second power levels, on a second comparison of the second power level with a threshold limit, or on the first comparison of the first and second power levels and on the second comparison of the second power level with the threshold limit; and select one of the noise suppression paths based on the control signal.
