Recurring Internet Outage after Service Upgrade

In searching the forum, I have found a number of customers with this issue, but have not found an ultimate answer.

 

After upgrading my service (and my modem) yesterday, my internet drops every 45 minutes or so and is down for 3-5 minutes.  Had the tech out (again) today and he discovered that I was having a bunch of "DHCPv6 - Missing Required Option 82" and "DHCPv6 - Missing Required Option 24" events.  this is the same problem I keep seeing all over these boards.  He swapped the modem, but the problem began again shortly after he left.

 

Is there a solution??  @CCKenF seemed to help at least one of the users.

 

Help!... thanks!

So have you checked your signal stat figures as in those threads that you referenced ?

Yes. And they are all good ! Would you please also post the RF error / event log entries from the modem.

What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?

Is this with a WiFi connection ?

 

If so, for a test, does a computer hardwired directly to the router / gateway device with an ethernet cable have the same problem ?

I had this same problem what fixed it for me was buying my own modem and disabling ipv6. They are still going to fix this problem in the meantime but if you have a similar problem I recommend you buy your own modem and try to disable your ipv6 and just go with ipv4. Problem seemed to be in my logs that the modem would pop a provision code for ipv6 after a few min to a hour it would disconnect and the whole modem would restart itself. Then come back online as duelstack meaning using both ipv6 and ipv6 then would loop back to ipv6 provisioning then crash again. You can’t disable this on the rented modems unfortunately I tried but as soon as I did that no more problems. Talked to my tech about it they think it’s a 5G tower causing interference idk but I got my internet working myself after 10 techs and constant problems since the 25th

You can actually turn off ipv6 on your network adapter, if this a computer, I would possibly try that before purchasing a new modem
