Reboot Modem
The past two months I've had to reboot the modem every 48 to 72 hours. I have a Netgear CM 1150v. I have had this modem for several years, always worked fine. Now it needs to reboot often. Any suggestions short of renting an expensive one from Xfinity.

Have you had a chance to gather the requested signal status info ?

This may or may not be the root cause of the problem (YMMV) but it should be addressed regardless.
The upstream power is a bit on the high side and it may be intermittently fluctuating even higher to out of spec levels. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.
In an effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are 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 from Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.
Also check the coax cable for any damage such as cuts, nicks, abrasions, kinks, sharp bends, etc.
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.
Good luck with it !

I upgraded my Router, so I enabled IPv6 and when I did the Modem Log gave a code that led me here. Any chance your problem is IPv6 related?
