Both the upstream and the downstream power levels are out of spec. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.

In an effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are there any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/re-configured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1000 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.

Also check the coax cable for any damage such as cuts, nicks, abrasions, kinks, sharp bends, etc.

If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two-way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street / pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.


Good luck with it !

@EG​  thanks for the reply. Tech visited the house and found old splitters which is not required.  He removed and confirmed the signal is good.  Cable modem worked for some time and disconnected with few minutes. Luckily technician was still in his van . I was able to call him and he suggested to replace the modem.  After replacing with xFi modem everything looks good now.   Any  idea even if signal is good why modem still reboots ?  modem is not good ?

You're welcome. I'm afraid that I can't advise further without seeing what the stats look like now. .

We can always take a look for you. Depending on what we find we might recommend a new modem like the prior rep but could you private message us your full name and address?

@user_e92743 

Here's how to send a direct message (private message);


Click "Sign In" if necessary.
 
Click the "Direct Message" icon  in the upper right corner or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging 
 
Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon.
 
The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.
 
As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.
 
An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.
 
Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window.
 
Press the "Enter" key on your keyboard to send it.

See https://comca.st/3KQF8q9 for an example.
