Frequent disconnects, high latency, s34 critical errors

Hi I had my upload fixed in this thread: https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/customer-service/upload-speed-capped-at-40mbps-after-nextgen-upgrade/68402a2a5cfcb01f84c7ee5c 

Speeds down/up have been great since my other thread but I've been dealing with intermittent high latency / internet drops this week. Today 6/7 is especially bad with a few complete internet drops and a handful of "laggy" moments where it's just unresponsive for around 10 seconds.

Setup:

Arris S34

Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 2.5Gbps WAN port

PC: 2.5Gbps NIC

Things I've tried today:

1. Direct connection from the Arris S34 to my PC. Same exact speeds and behavior, Internet has high lag/disconnects every 20 minutes on average.

2. Rebooted everything: Arris S34, DR7, PC

3. Updated Realtek NIC drivers to current; removed power saving features

4. Replaced coax from the wall to the Arris with a brand new cable.

5. No outages reported in the area.

I do live in a very large apartment building. I imagine there are many physical connections at this site. I did not experience any lag/disconnects like this on my lower 800/25 plan that I had for 1 year in this building at this address on an S33. It was rock solid on that plan/modem.

Here are some of the modem events from a drop today:

06/07/2025 10:39:33 Warning RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW

06/07/2025 12:02:41 Critical SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync
06/07/2025 12:03:15 Error TCS Fail on all Upstream Channels

If there is more information from the modem I can provide please let me know.

I was thinking about downgrading to a lower plan for stability but thought I'd ask for assistance here first.

user_x5lk5s Thanks for posting again on our Community Forums. Though I am sorry to see that you're back so soon from your last post, we are here to help! From our previous DM, I was able to review the account and see that there are quite a few uncorrectable errors coming through, as well as some minor issues with the Upstream Receiving Power. Both of these could be caused by interference or noise in the network lines coming to your home, and it may be best to have a technician check on this in person. If you'd like to go this route, please return to our previous DM, and we can help schedule an appointment.
