XB8 Restarting

I just upgraded to XB8 after receiving notice from Xfinity.  I installed the new modem, and there is nothing that is different - the cable is tight, I'm using the new power supply, NOTHING changed except the XB8 is new.  Now it restarts at least 4 times per day.  

It looks like other people received help here, so I'm trying, but I have to say, the Xfinity Assistant is useless.

Thank you for reaching out to us here @user_vvsxjr. I will be happy to look into any issue with that new device from here. Could you send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service? 

To send a direct message [private message]:

   Click the "Direct Message" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

   Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

   The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

   - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

   - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

   Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

   Press Enter to send it

I was asked to say that the problem was resolved.  It has improved after I removed a splitter, but we are still being kicked off and it is rebooting multiple times per day - including during work.  If the XB8 could be tested again, I would be grateful.  I'm deeply disappointed by the "upgrade" that Xfinity pushed on us.
