Netgear CM1000v2 has Wrong Firmware Version
Hi,
I've been having lots of internet connection issues lately.
I chatted with comcast support last week and they said everything looked fine on their end.. that I should contact Netgear support. Netgear said.. comcast pushed the wrong firmware update to my Modem and I should ask for my modem to be reprovisioned. Just got off the phone again with comcast support. They said my internet connection was fine (which it isn't) and that they don't install firmware updates. If anyone has tips on how to break the log jam and get the right version of firmware on my modem I'm all ears. Thanks!
My modem is a CM1000v2
According to netgear: https://kb.netgear.com/000036375/What-s-the-latest-firmware-version-of-my-NETGEAR-cable-modem-or-modem-router I should be on V6.01.06. I have V7.01.01

V7.01.01 is the current deployed firmware for the Netgear CM1000v2 for Comcast. Sometimes the update does not happen instantly upon registration, where it can take 24-48 hours to happen.

Hi EG,
The issue I'm having is that I get frequent internet disconnects.
Here are here latest logs from my router.
When I reached out to comcast they said everything appeared fine that I should contact Netgear.
When I reached out to netgear they said the firmware I was on wasn't the right version i should be on V6.01.06.
I do see that netgear's site now says V7.01.01 is the right version for my router.

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

The signal stats are o/k but the error log entries indicate 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 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 !

I have to reboot my modem daily....don't know why. Started happening shortly after Comcast replaced the line from the pole to my house, which had been bad for several months (water in the line) resulting in about 1/10th of the speed I was paying for and sometimes too low to be usable.
