Hello,
I am having an issue where every day maybe 5 or more times my internet just drops out. i can confirm that it is not my router/wifi and that it is my modem that goes offline. I have read threw many different post on here and it just seems like everyone with the same issue has different problems related to there area i am from Boston Massachusetts area. I will post my info from my Modem to see if anyone has some helpful info for me thanks

This may or may not be the root cause of the problem (YMMV) but it should be addressed regardless. Just bear in mind that we have been seeing many many posts here lately that may indicate a pattern that the 8611 is currently not playing nicely with the Comcast system / firmware.
The downstream power is too high. It may be over-driving the front-end receiver circuit of the modem. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.
Is there a drop amplifier on the coax cable line leading to the modem ? If so, try removing / bypassing it and see. If not, you can try installing a -6 dB attenuator pad such as this one to knock that power level down and see;

The downstream power is on the high side and it may be intermittently fluctuating even higher. It may be over-driving the front-end receiver circuit of the modem. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.
Is there a drop amplifier on the coax cable line leading to the modem ? If so, try removing / bypassing it and see. If not, you can try installing a -6 dB forward path-only attenuator pad such as this one on the coax port on the rear of the modem to knock that power level down and see;

It won't affect the upstream power level which is within spec. Good luck !

i tried installing one of the attenuators i also ordered on more but my issue is still going on i contacted Xfinity and they always say everything looks fine i explain my situation and my numbers that i am getting off my modem and they said everything looks good they sent someone to my house to check out the connections and he said everything looked good so i called back and asked if they could check the lines on the pole and they said that they would send someone out. when they got here they did not know what they where here for they thought they where just checking inside the house again so this guy said he would check the lines but he said it all looked good but im still having the issue im going to get a completely new modem today im getting the nether nighthawk in hopes that it might solve my issue and handle the signal better. This is my logs for today seems to happen a lot at around 1030

So I have switched over to the Netgear NightHawk CM2000 and have not had an issue in 2 days so I think the Motorola modem does not play well with Xfinity in my area
