Modem still reboots endlessly after replacement
Hello. I have replacedy Xfinity modem 3 times and bought a new sb6190 so I can see what's going on. I have had 3 different techs at my house to check the lines. The 3rd tech blamed my modem rebooting all the time on the rg6 cable being too old. I got the cable replaced all the way back to the demarc point and my modem is still rebooting endlessly. I kept offering the logs to tech support and they would not take them. Can anyone help??? I can't even work from home because my internet is so unreliable!!!!!

What do the modem's signal stats look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1
Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.

The stats are all good. Are there any RF signal error / event log entries being shown ? If so, please post them as well.

Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) 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 can check the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) for any real time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.
You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
