NetGear CM1000v2 FW: V7.01.01 - Regular (and I mean regular) Internet Issues

I am not sure when these issues started happen, I am sure it was not immediately when I connected the CM1000v2, possibly after a firmware update but I cannot confirm that.

What happens? My internet dies, I wake in the morning and notice a non-responsive internet experience and do a "SpeedTest" and notice an almost dial-up download speed of less than 1MBps. To remedy this I turn off my modem, unplug the cable, wait 10s, plug the cable back in and turn the modem on. This worked all the time until today (01/10/2010) when the first manual reset did not work and I had to perform another. Regardless, the modem and the router are both reset at 2am every night and this should be enough to "blow the gremlins out of the system".

I have phoned Xfinity customer service often, I have had engineers come out. They larrive when the interne tis responsive and they leave when it is still responsive. There needs to be a permanent solution; NetGear tells me this modem works on the Xfinity cable network and you guys do not tell me otherwise.

To add to this in a hope someone can shed some light on this matter, the modem logs (which are not great, in that they overwrite entries) tells me there is a lot of this
`SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing`
and a lot of this
`No Ranging Response received`.

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.

So, this morning (01/16/2021) I tried a manual reset - FAIL. I then proceeded to perform a reset from the modem admin console - FAIL. And by 'FAIL' I mean the state of my download speed remained unchanged (<1Mbps) after the 'reset'. I then performed an Xfinity modem reset from my Xfinity account console - FAIL. I called Xfinity and they (lovely Xfinity robot lady who is quite familiar of my voice by now) performed a remote reset (same as the previous 'reset', I guess but ANYTHING to move on from dial-up) - FAIL. Then I did another manual reset (turn off modem, unplug cable, wait a holy 15s, plug cable back in and turn modem on) - SUCCESS. There is no common denominator here so I have no clue as to what is going on - CLUELESS.

I have pulled the stats from the modem when it refuses to give me a decent download speed, this table represents the "Download Bonded Channels":

Don't know what's going on, but FWIW, the signal status values are o/k.
