Slow upload speeds - Nighthawk CM2050V

Hello all,

 

Hoping someone can help with this issue.

I have Xfinity Gig Plus Internet. My neighborhood was upgraded. Advertised speeds are up to 1.2Gbps download and 200Mbps upload.

 

Download works great. Get between 1.1Gbps and 1.4 Gbps consistently since I upgraded to my current modem (modem before was Xfinity provided).

 

Having issues with upload. If I reboot the modem, it negotiates upload using Upstream OFDMA Channels:

Under this negotiated connection, I get between 150Mbps - 250Mbps upload.

 

Throughout the day, the modem upload indicator light flickers. Sometimes it stops, maintaining the Upstream OFDMA Channels and great upload speeds.

 

Sometimes, the light flickers and it turns amber instead of blue.

When this happens, my upload speeds are 17Mbps - 22Mbps (pretty significant difference)

I notice that the Upstream OFDMA Channels is not present / not locked:

When it goes into this mode, it stays this way. No matter how many times the upload indicator flickers. If I reboot the modem, it goes back to negotiating Upstream OFDMA Channels. Excellent upload speeds. Then after a few hours or a day, it goes back to the degraded state.
