CODA56 modem randomly dropping internet connection

I have a new Hitron CODA56 modem on Xfinity cable internet - which was working for the last 4 weeks or so but in the last week has started random disconnecting. It seems to happen particularly when I am on Facetime or Zoom. This happens even when I connect directly to the modem via Ethernet cable to my computer. The modem shows normal blue and green lights throughout the episode, which lasts about 10 minutes. 

Is there someway to troubleshoot this?

Good evening @user_lsy9xp, and thank you for reaching out to our dedicated Communities team tonight and hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I'm sorry to hear that in the last week your modem has started randomly disconnecting particularly on FaceTime and Zoom, I can imagine how frustrating that is! As someone who attends a lot of remote meetings, I understand the need to have a stable connection and assure you that you've reached the right team to help. 

 

Do you experience drops on other devices besides your computer as well? Do you experience any issues with your speed in between disconnects?

Hi thanks for the response. All devices drop at the same time - I have my own wifi router connected to the modem, and during the disconnection when I plug out the router to connect my PC directly to the modem there is still no internet. No issues in speed between disconnects.

Thank you for confirming that all devices drop at the same time @user_lsy9xp, we appreciate it. We also appreciate you confirming that you have your own WiFi router connected to the modem and during disconnection when you connect your PC directly to the modem, there is still no internet, we appreciate it. 

 

May I ask if you have tried any troubleshooting steps yet for example restarting your modem?

Restarting the modem does restore the connection but it is not practical to restart the modem when it drops the connection practically everyday.

Thank you for confirming that restarting the modem does restore the connection but agree that restarting the modem every day is not practical and shouldn't be necessary @user_lsy9. We'd be happy to take a closer look at your connection issues and run some diagnostics. If needed, we can schedule one of our expert technicians to investigate further. 

 

In order to take a closer look at your signal levels and troubleshoot further, we will need to get the account brought up by collecting some sensitive information.

Same issue same model here, began about 2weeks ago. I see many mentions online as well. Firmware or hardware issue with these modems?

My specific issue appears to be unrelated to the modem. I had a faulty old HFC splitter that was replaced and since then the rate of disconnections has gone down. I did experience one this morning but fingers crossed it doesn't get worse. My system info if that helps you.
