Intermittent Internet Issues

Hi,

 

I have had this issue for 8 or so weeks now.

 

Basically the internet goes down for about 10 minutes from about once a day to once every few hours. It then comes back on its own without me doing anything. 

 

I use my own router and my owm modem. 

TP-Link TC7650 DOCSIS 3.0 (24x8) High Speed Cable Modem 

TP-Link AC1750 Smart WiFi Router

 

This issue shows up in the modem logs.

Please also post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.

Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) somewhere.

 

There are other signal stat figures 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 that are available to these boards. They can check the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) 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 poll for those upstream receive signal stats.

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