Internet keeps going out in the morning to afternoon each day.

[Image Removed: "Personal Information/ CM-MAC Address"]

A couple of weeks ago I had a bad thunderstorm here and lightning struck and blew out my modem and router. I went and replaced my modem and router with the exact same models I was using before. Well a couple of days after replacing them my internet started to go out every day in the morning/ afternoon time. Sometimes just once, sometimes twice. It works perfectly throughout the whole evening. I also replaced the coaxial cable going from the wall to the modem and that didn’t help. Usually I just reset the modem and it works fine after that, but my wife works from home so this causes a huge issue for her. Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this or do I have to have somebody to come here and fix it ?

What do the modem's signal stats look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1


Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.

What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?

Is this a WiFi connection ?

Hello. The modem is a Netgear CM1000. It is wired through Ethernet to my pc from my router. It loses internet connection and my phone and tv will lose the Connection at the same time. Not sure how to find those specific numbers… but maybe you can make sense out of this?

The stats are o/k /in spec. Are there any error log entries being shown ? If so, please post them as well in their entirety.

O/k well without seeing them in their entirety, the error log entries that you posted may 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.

I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They 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 !

Hi, persuazion1. We know how frustrating problems of this nature can be, especially with your wife working from home like many of us are these days. We certainly understand the need for reliability and we will see what we can do to help. I do have a couple of initial questions for you here, to get started. Do you have a cable box in the same room as your modem? When you replaced the coaxial cable from the wall to the modem, did you see a splitter on any portion of that cable line?

Hello Morgan. Actually a tech came out… I was at work but my wife said he replaced the coaxial plug at the wall that the modem cable goes into. Then he said he was going to check the electrical room… but he never came back and let us know anything. She didn’t know he was even gone until she went outside and his truck had left. Then I got a notification on my account  saying that they noticed something in my area that needed to fixed that could be causing signal disruption and they would be working on it around noon on Wednesday the 14th. Well I have no idea if they actually did anything or not because today it just the same thing it has been doing and the connection cuts off till I reboot the modem. As far as your question goes I don’t have a cable box at all. I don’t have a splitter … the line goes from the wall to the modem.  In the closet there is a panel, and I believe it comes off and I think there is a splitter in there. The tech didn’t even look in that panel. I know when I used to had a cable box that tech who installed it a long time ago accessed that panel for something.
