High error count on one channel

I am using a Netgear C7000v2 cable modem/router, with firmware 1.03.08.  On just one channel (of 24) I see high error counts:

Channel...Frequency................Power...SNR......Correctables....Uncorrectagles

  5.           567000000 Hz. -1.8 dBmV 33.2dB    84949843       7130834 

Other channels have low correctables and zero uncorrectables.  SNR for channel 5 is about 6 dB lower than the other channels.

The errors seem to happen in a burst.  It will go for hours with no significant change.  

There is a splitter near the entrance, then about a 50 foot run outside the house to the Netgear.  The connectors appear to be good.

Any ideas about what may be causing this?

Thanks.

The SNR is too low / out of spec. Please copy the entire signal status table including the upstream power level values and paste them into your next post here.

Here are the connection stats after about 5 hours of uptime on the C7000:

I tried sending a message to Xfinity Support via direct messaging with the requested information, but got "Couldn't. send".  I will try creating a new login to the Xfinity forum, since my old login from 2012 may be defective.

It turns out that I cannot create a new login for Xfinity forums.  Is there a way to send email to Xfinity support without going through the direct messaging link?

Oh, well that is certainly odd.  Hold on just a moment @Eric-3.  We are going to work to see if we can initiate the interaction on our end.  Thanks for standing by.
