xFi Gateway intermittently locks up

My xFi Gateway will freeze several times a day for a couple minutes and then recovers. All wired and wireless devices are affected. The only information logged at the time it froze is the Wifi uptime counter starts over at zero and the entries in the Event Log file (shown below.) This gateway was just installed two day earlier. I also suspect that the firmware may be out of date. But I don't know how to update it. Your help would be appreciated.

Eqipment: xFi Gateway XB7

Model: Arris TG4482A
Hardware Revision: 11
Serial Number: 2664H5GJDB05812
eMTA & DOCSIS Software Version: 7.3.2.0.91

I can spare you the Xfinity tier up-sell waste of time.  Start here:  https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/internet-troubleshooting-tips/602dae4ac5375f08cde52ea0

It's a spontaneous reboot.  That can happen for lots of reasons, but pay close attention to upstream and down stream power levels in the link above.  You'll see those "missing options" in the logs, because the channels aren't there just then during the reboot, and you aren't communicating with the DHCP server yet.  Then you did.
