This may or may not be the root cause of the problem (YMMV) but it should be addressed regardless.
The downstream power is too high. It may be over-driving the front-end receiver circuit of the modem. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.
Is there a drop amplifier on the coax cable line leading to the modem ? If so, try removing / bypassing it and see. If not, you can try installing two -6 dB Forward Path only attenuator pads such as these back to back on the coax port of the modem to knock that power level down and see;

It won't affect the upstream power level which is within spec. Good luck !
