New Home, internet drops

Hello, we recently moved into a new home, brought our owned equipment with us. Never had any issues in the old house and now are plagued with internet drops. I work from home so this has become an issue. I have a netgear CM700 modem with a Nighthawk AC1900 Router. We had zero issues in our old home and fear the cable line may be the culprit. I've attached my model readings, i am pretty savvy at these things, but have no idea how to read this! Appreciate any help in advance, thanks!

The signal stats are good if they are remaining stable. Are there any modem error log entries being shown ? If so, please also post them in their entirety (copy and paste them) but redact the CM and the CMTS MAC addresses for your privacy or else the forum bot will not allow your post to be seen publically.

Also. Is this with a WiFi connection ? If so, for a test, does a computer / device that is hardwired directly to the Nighthawk router with an ethernet cable have the same problem ?


With this test, we are trying to isolate this from being either a WiFi-only problem or a problem with the general connection to the Comcast system which would of course affect both. It's a good first step of troubleshooting before proceeding any further.

O/k so can you do so temporarily for the purposes of performing that test that I mentioned ?

ok, i will have to figure something out since we don't have any devices near the router. Will report back, thanks!

Hey, @hsanchez. Any progress on your issue? I checked everything out and the area has an upstream receiver power issue(out of spec) that shows on all accounts nearby, but other than that it all looks good. 

 

Thanks, @EG .

@XfinityEthan No im having the same issues, internet drops randomly, we moved a desktop near the router and when the internet goes out, we try to load something up and it is also offline for a bit, when our wireless devices connect back up so does the desktop connection. 

Happened again a few mins ago, i was on a VOIP call for work and lost the connection.

Apologies you are experiencing issues with your internet service. We are here to help get that fixed. Also, thanks for your reply and additional information about your testing. Just to confirm, you have tested and confirmed you are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues while ethernet hardwired to your router? 

 

Have you tried to bypass the router and connect directly to the modem?

FWIW here, the error log entries point to the problem being with the connection quality to the Comcast system. They show losses of modem block sync.

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) / an upstream channel-return path impairment 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.


So in the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and escalate your issue anyway 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 !

I have the same issues at my home. Works well for a but, and then internet is constantly dropping. very frustrating. when I contact XFI they only help with troubleshooting, and will get it to reconnect, but constantly dealing with this is frustrating. I am wondering if it is my area, because i have changed equipment twice.

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue.  Please do not hijack someone else's help thread in progress. Multiple posters piling on to and being helped in a single thread becomes too complicated. confusing, and convoluted. And it's unfair to the original poster. Thank you.
