Unicast maintenance ranging no response t3 timeout

My error logs are below. I have this issue where My internet just drops at least twice a day. I've had someone come by and check my service but said there were no issues. I've been in contact with Xfinity multiple times, and I've purchased a new Modem per XFinity's suggestion. I pay a lot for fast internet but what's the point if it drops whenever I want to use it? Pretty desperate here.

You need to also post the modem's signal status values. Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1  or here http://10.0.0.1 

Please 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.

below is what i could find, note, my internet goes out for 10-15 mins at a time and the last time this happened was probably a 8 hours ago or so, so not sure if that will affect your interpretation of the below

Cable Diagnostic

Status: Good

Action:
Your setup looks fine. If you can't access the internet, make sure you properly activated the modem. If modem has been activated and you still can't access the internet, contact your service provider for troubleshooting help.
If you can access the internet but has other internet issue, the Netgear Cable Knowledge Base can provide additional troubleshooting info.

CM Status: Good

Downstream Status: Good

    Downstream SNR Level: Good

The signal status values at that snapshot in time were OK but the error log entries indicate that something is going on. And there are a fair number of uncorrectable bit errors... Perhaps there is spurious 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 those upstream receive signal stats.


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