Multiple slowdowns and/or modem resets per day
Recently installed an Arris SB6190 modem. Device Info page flags modem as "Incompatible based on filters." Had a similar problem with an SB6183 last year. After five service calls Comcast replaced all outside coax and hardware. One "official" splitter for TV. The issue appeared to be somewhat resolved. Have not yet contacted customer service. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
dave k

There is a problem starting at downstream channel number 22 in the second pic. The power levels and the SNR's start to go out of spec. There is probably intermittent noise ingressing into the line somewhere at those higher frequencies.
That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, and latency problems.
In a self troubleshooting effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are there 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 types like GE, RadioShack, RCA, Philips, Leviton, Magnavox, and Rocketfish from big box stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Wal-Mart etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test
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.
