I have been having intermittent internet issues for about a year. Last year a tech was dispatched and after being in my home for 8 hours he left. I haven't had the time or patience to schedule another tech visit. The last month we were rebooting our XFi modem once or twice daily to keep the internet up. I finally went out and purchased a Netgear CM700 modem and TP-Link AX3000 router. Initial setup went smoothly, had an issue with the Downstream bonding light blinking. I spoke with Xfinity support and she advised me that the Downstream light flashing, meant that the modem was syncing with my Wi-Fi devices. After several minutes of explaining to her that a downstream light on a modem is in no way related to Wi-Fi scanning and that her response was absolutely absurd. She followed with an "If you say so". I then ended the chat and started looking for my own answers elsewhere. I also see a lot of UnCorrectables. Please see my signals pasted below:

The downstream power levels and the downstream SNR's are out of spec (some are way out !). And there are large amounts of uncorrectable bit errors. 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 there 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 5-1000 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Radio Shack, Home Depot, Target, 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, 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 !

Hello @user_24a512, did you still need a technician visit or is everything resolved?
