Intermittent Connection Interruption

Hello,

I recently set up my system and have been experiencing repeated temporary losses of connection (this includes both wireless and hardwired Ethernet connections).  During the workday, I would estimate about 3-5 interruptions.

Looking at the logs, I'm seeing repeated "No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out" and "SYNC Timing Synchronization failure". Reviewing the troubleshooting tips, I didn't immediately see anything that stood out, but please let me know if I missed something.

The log below is just from overnight after I sent a reset command in the evening:

Time Not Established   Critical (3)   SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing;;CM-MAC=XX;CMTS-MAC=XX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;
