I have been through the troubleshooting pinned link and nothing seems to help. I have seen a notice of performance issues in my area, but it is getting frustrating dealing with dropped connections.  It impacts all WiFi and wired devices.

@user_095ef4 

I see two potential causes of the problem here. First. If the measurement is actually accurate, the downstream OFDM channel 193 power level at minus -17 dB is way too low / out of spec, as is the SNR at 35.04 dB;

And this is the very first time I have ever seen an upstream OFDMA channel being deployed by Comcast. And I'll state the same thing. If the measurement is indeed accurate, and the channel is actually locked in, the upstream power is too high / out of spec at 51.432629 dB;

You may want to get a tech out for this one. They can double-check the accuracy of the power levels with their SLM tool. A modem's accuracy of the measuring mechanism for OFDM modulated channels (especially the upstream one ) is somewhat of a new science. It may possibly be glitchy. Good luck !
