Connection drops daily (or more) with new Arris S33 install

My old standby Surfboard 6120 never dropped signal, but now with the approved modem, I lose connection once or more each day and have to go to the web ui for the internet to come back up.

Logs/info below.

Thanks for the assistance!

==========================================================================================================================================

The table below contains the log of events that the S33 has detected. This log can be important to the service provider to help diagnose and correct problems, if any should occur.

O/k so even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) / an upstream channel / return path impairment somewhere.


There are other signal stat values that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.


I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check for any real-time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant, and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.

You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
