Repeated lapses in service, router restarts daily - router log attached

We've been experiencing lapses in wifi over the last couple of weeks. It seems to happen once or more per day, sometimes more times per day and sometimes less. The problem started happening right after our next door neighbor got Xfinity service. We live in a row of 4 condos and I'm at the end of the line, farthest from the service box. My 3 other neighbors in the row all have Xfinity as well and the ones I have talked to have said they have had problems but not as much as us. I noticed the technician who came out left the cables outside of the box because they do not fit anymore - I think he put in a larger splitter and now the bundle is too large to fit. Our internet service will go down, the router will restart and then about 5-10 minutes later we will get service again. Anybody have any ideas? I'm wondering if the signal is getting degraded maybe? Equipment is Motorola AC1900 Model MG7550

Please also copy all of the text in its entirety of the *Downstream Power Levels*, the *SNR's* (Signal to Noise Ratios), and the *Upstream Power Level* numbers and paste them into your next post.


What is the exact make and model number of the modem / gateway device ?

@EG​ Thank you for your time. I've added some additional info from the router page although I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for? Also, it's a Motorola AC1900 Model MG7550. Thanks!

The signal status values at that snapshot in time were OK but the error log entries indicate 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 values 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 (The Digital Care Team) who are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check 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 the CMTS for those upstream receive signal stats.


You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Quite welcome ! I escalated this yesterday as well. If you don't get a timely response I will re-escalate it.

@EG​ I haven't gotten a response yet. Sorry, I don't mean to bother. I've tried contacting Xfinity via their chat function and over the phone and it seems to keep rerouting me to the AI assistant instead of a real person. I'll push harder to contact them since it seems like at the very least there is something going on with my service. Thanks again.

No worries ! This one must have slipped through the cracks... I'll try it again.

Had same issue ever since they put new lines down our road. Agent checked everything and in the end after hours on chat and phone she said I should go get new modem at store!!

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks. 


For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on an old thread can delay getting help.
