Internet Dropping constantly

Hello. Recently I have upgraded my internet along with the modem. Once or twice through the day the modem suddenly stops connecting to the internet. Had a technician before since I had a problem with a previous modem, but the issue seems to me persisting. I have a Netgear cm2000.

The downstream and upstream OFDMA channel I believe are maybe a software glitch which is why maybe it shows zero. When I reset it gives me the numbers normally.

The event logs that I see I am getting a lot of timeouts and CM-STATUS messages. Not sure what it wrong I would be happy to receive help with this.

I'm getting the same issues since Friday - something is going on with Xfinity.

This may not be the root cause of the problem (YMMV), but the downstream power is pretty hot / high and should be addressed regardless. It may be overdriving the front end receiver circuit of the modem which can cause spontaneous disconnects. 

Is there a drop amplifier in the coax cable line leading to the modem ? If so, try removing / bypassing it and see. If not, you can try using a 6dB attenuator pad such as this one to knock that power back down into spec: https://www.amazon.com/6db-Attenuator-Pad-1-each/dp/B0013L48XA 

Good luck with it ! Please post back with how things go.

@EG  Hi. I ordered the piece and should arrive by Wednesday here. I've took another look at the power levels and I believe you are right that they are too high for the modem. Still having disconnects, but I'm hoping those issues are gone with the 6dB attenuator pad.

Hi. I have installed the 6dB attenuator pad right in the back of the modem. In the beginning the connection was fine again, but the timeout errors keep coming back and connection stutters now and will drop still. I know at the cable box I found a PPC SNLP-MoCA POE Coax Filter and I'm not sure whether just to remove that piece and have the 6dB attenuator in it's place instead of having it at the back of the modem. Never had issues before I upgraded to Docsis 3.1.

Hmmm.... Everything is in spec now ! If you are not using a MoCA network, you can remove that POE filter and see. Not sure that will do anything unless it is malfunctioning. And leave the attenuator pad where it is. 

Have you yet contacted the Xfinity Support team as that employee who responded here had suggested ? If not, I would try that avenue. I'm also going to escalate this to the team.

The error log entries indicate that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) /  an upstream channel-return path impairment somewhere.

There are other signal stat figures that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.

The team employees will be able to poll the CMTS to see whether or not everything is in the green zone, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and also see a history plot for the modem. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
