Intermittent loss of block sync - T3 time out

Over the last couple of weeks, as i'm working from home more and more, I'm seeing intermittent time out issues and loss of block sync between modem and Comcast in my area. These can last from a short time, a minute or so, to several over the course of hours. 

 

My modem is a Motorola MB8600. An example of logs is below:

You can see lots of EC in the downstream channels, mostly from block sync loss, presumably. PC is connected to router by ethernet, but all wifi devices lose connection as well. 

 

Any advice or assitance would be greatly appreciated.
