Arris S33 DOCSIS 3.1 Modem - OFDM PLC Download High Number of Correctable Errors

Hi, I activated a new modem, the Arris S33 modem which is on the approved list.  I am successfully able to connect however, I am seeing a lot of correctable errors only on the OFDM PLC locked channel.  The count is now at 1,900,794,995 after a few days of use.  Frequency on the channel is 957000000, Power level is -2 dBmV, and SNR/MER is 41 dB.

I don't seem to be experiencing any high latency but am curious as to these errors and how to resolve the issue?

I can provide screenshots if needed.

Thanks!

It's normal. It is a very wide bandwidth channel that packs a lot of data within. It's the way that the DOCSIS FEC (Forward Error Correction) circuitry / function works. Only numerous *uncorrected* errors may mean that there is a problem.
