Internet drops intermittently throughout the day
For the past few weeks my connection has been intermittently dropping, repeatedly. I've noticed that it usually starts in the afternoon, and will be unstable thereafter.
I've tried restarting modem/router, using the Xfinity Troubleshoot, but nothing works. Xfinity says there's no outages in my area either.
This happens over both WiFi and wired connections.
The modem connects straight into the wall in my house, and there are no other devices in the house using COAX besides the modem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Modem: Netgear CM1100

I've been reading some other threads and it seems like my power levels are very high, is that the cause of all these issues? If so, how can I lower them?

This may or may not be the root cause of the problem (YMMV) but it should be addressed regardless.
Yes. The upstream power is indeed on the high side and it may be intermittently fluctuating even higher to out-of-spec levels. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.
In an effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/re-configured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1002 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.
Also check the coax cable for any damage such as cuts, nicks, abrasions, kinks, sharp bends, etc.
If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two-way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street / pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.

Wow, The problem got worse. Upstream channel #4 is now way out of spec !!
Something intermittent is going on ! If there is nothing more that can be done to improve the connection quality, then you'll need a tech visit as stated.
Bear in mind that if the premises facing techs can not find or fix a problem at your home, it is they who are responsible for escalating it up to their line / network / maintenance dept. techs. The problem may lie beyond your home in the local neighborhood infrastructure somewhere but it is their S.O.P. to start at the home. And if the problem is found to be on their side of the demarcation point, there will not be any charge.
Good luck !

A xfinity tech came and it fixed the problem for a bit but it's been progressively getting worse everyday to the point where my internet is nearly unusable from 3-11PM everyday. It never happens in the morning, only afternoon and nights. I strongly believe my neighbor's vehicle has some sort of electromagnetic interference that's causing this. Everyday when he gets home from work my modem's upstream powerlevels go > 53.
