Dropouts with Event Codes 16, 20, 22 and 24
I have a SB8200 in a new home (built and Xfinity hooked up less than a year ago). Internet was basically flawless until a month or so ago when I began getting internet dropouts. I rebooted everything (including internal Nest router) and it popped back up so I didn't think much of it. But it has been happening every 4 or 5 days since then, including earlier this morning.
This time I looked in the SB8200 event log and saw a long list of repeating "CM-STATUS message sent. Event Type Code: 24; Chan ID: 37, CM-STATUS message sent. Event Type Code: 22; Chan ID: 37, CM-STATUS message sent. Event Type Code: 20; Chan ID: 37 and CM-STATUS message sent. Event Type Code: 16; Chan ID: 37" errors. Unable to reboot the modem from the Xfinity app, I power cycled just the modem and am right back online.
Modem status shows:

@user_5spqp3 Hello! Thank you for joining our forums and reaching out for help with the interruptions you have been having with the internet connections. I'm sorry that you are having this experience. I know a stable network is crucial for work, school as well as everyday life. We can help out here!
With the intermittent connections, I would like to isolate the connections to the modem alone. That way we eliminate one possible cause, the router. Do you have any devices that are hardwired with an ethernet cable? If so, do they drop connection as well?
The other thing to check is the coaxial cables. Make sure that they are secure to the modem and wall or splitter connection. Check or any bend or cuts to the wire. You can also try to bypass the splitter if one is present to make sure that is not throwing signals off.
I can help with checking the modems levels on this side as well to help figure out the cause and find the right solution. Send us a direct message with your name and service address. From there we can dig into the issue and troubleshoot to figure out what is happening.
