Netgear CM2000 dropping connection - Logs provided

We have a a Netgear CM2000 for our Xfinity modem and recently it's been dropping connection. Pulled some logs after checking all of the connections. Here is some info from the connection status page and I also included a picture of where the connection comes into the house at a splitter (which I don't think I need and plan to remove). For reference the -7dB OUT goes to a cut cable and should just be removed. The -3.5dB OUT goes to the Netgear CM2000. I also had the automated test for the connection to the house and the modem through the Xfinity Assistant and it comes back as no issues.  Curious for those who understand this information what may be the issue. I appreciate any help/insight provided. Recently seeing errors such as Mismatch Between Calculated Value Compared to CCAP Provided Value, Timing Synchronization failure - loss of sync, Dynamic Range Window violation, CCAP Commanded Power Exceeds Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW, and Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No reponse received.

Your post with that pic of the error log entries was marked as being "Private" by the forum bot because it contains CM MAC and the CMTS MAC addresses. They are considered to be personal information. The posting of personally identifiable information is a violation of their forum guidelines. Please delete that pic only.

What you can do instead is to copy all of the text (instead of using an image) and paste it into your next post here, but you'll need to redact all of the CM MAC and CMTS MAC addresses. The bot will not allow your post to be seen publicly.

@EG​ Thanks! Does that work to remove the private designation, in the hopes someone might have some insight?

Yes. I made your post public again. But you should really re-post a text version (or a blotted-out pic) of those log entries for reference.

I added the errors seen at the end of the initial paragraph. Thank you for your help!

I’ve restarted the modem multiple times. Also saw it could be impacted by power fluctuations, so put it on an UPS. Seemed to help, but more likely just a coincidence. Recently I pulled out that splitter in the photos above and used a F splice adapter to connect the line coming from Xfinity to the coax feeding into the house to the modem. I’ve noticed in the logs there seems to be a better signal strength. One drop so far, and may try swapping out with a Hitron CODA56 Mutli-Gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 Modem. 

The issue has been happening the past few months.

Thanks! I swapped out for the Hitron CODA56 and streaming/stability seems to be better so far.
