Frequent Internet Outages With Dynamic Range Window Violation Errors

Hello!

 

I have been experiencing frequent internet outages over the last 3 weeks which only last for a few minutes but are extremely disruptive to my ability to stay connected to Teams calls. I've had two Xfinity techs out to the house who have tried removing splitters and replacing cables within the house without any improvement to the stability of my service. I've replaced my cable modem per Xfinity, coming from an SB8200 and moving to an S33.

 

I'm quickly running out of ideas and would appreciate any assistance on how I should move forward resolving this issue.

The modem has been rebooted recently, so the number of corrected and collectables are low, but they accumulate into the 10s of thousands over a single day.

 

My modem logs show the following error types:

 

5/12/2023
18:56:48
5 Dynamic Range Window violation
5/12/2023
18:56:48
5 RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power Exceeds Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;CM-MAC=XXXXXXXXXXXX;CMTS-MAC=XXXXXXXXXXX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;
5/12/2023
19:08:56
3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=XXXXXXXXXX;CMTS-MAC=XXXXXXXXX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;
5/12/2023
19:08:58
5 DBC-REQ Mismatch Between Calculated Value for P1.6hi Compared to CCAP Provided Value;CM-MAC=XXXXXXXX;CMTS-MAC=XXXXXXXXX-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

 

This is an example of the short outages from Ping Plotter:

 

 

Thanks for your time and please let me know if you need any additional information from the modem.

@Supernerd2004 did they actually fix the issue? I'm in the exact same boat you were/are in.

@user_db1346 -  Yes - A maintenance crew was able to fix something on the utility poles leading to my neighborhood. I was able to determine this was a neighborhood issue by running ping tests from two separate households and confirming the outages to both houses matched. I used a piece of software called ping plotter which was extremely helpful for this process. Hope this helps!
