Intermittent daily Connectivity issues SB8200

Hello, 

After dealing with this over several weeks , which included several contact by phone & IM with Xfinity support. I thought I'd try here.  The issue seems to occur mainly durring specfic times of day  (currently around 9-11am , and again in afternoon from 4-7pm) .  The outages last anywhere from brief 1 ping lost to 10 minutes.. of complete outage.. They occur repeatedly within those windows, making my work from home extreemly difficult at those times.  The steps I have tried  include the following (multiple times for each):

 

- Checked all connections as tight..etc

- Watched the video for gigabit issues 

- Restart Modem SB8200, manually and via comcast app

- Disconnect router , & connecting directly to Desktop pc

- Have comcast test connection while the issues were occurring 

- Push Factory reset button on Modem SB8200 (*see far below note)

- noted Modem is seening Numerous Uncorrectables

- After factory reset, Corrected/Uncorrectables stay at 0 until I start seeing connectivity issues then they spike as below.

 

PLEASE HELP , has been going on for months 🙂

 

Numerous UncorrectablesNumerous Uncorrectables

 

 

* The one instance I hit the factory Reset durring an episode I got the following in the Event log, subsequent resets and restarts have shown nothing .

RESOLVED.

I bought a refurbed Netgear CM1100 and it works.

 

TAKEAWAYS:

Arris customer support did not reply within three days and counting.
Xfinity will send techs out to your house repeatedly before they will open a support ticket and evaluate an event log.

 

I don't know how Arris SB8200 gained a place on Xfinity's 'approved' (but not 'supported') list of cable modems but I would strongly recommend avoiding that product.  A needless nightmare in getting this issue resolved.

Wish I could provide you with a solution, but instead all I can say is I have been having a similar problem and it is severly affecting my work from home status. 

 

I've been pinging to see what kind of packet loss is happening. I've noticed it in the afternoon and sometimes overnight (mainly afternoon though). I'll just ping a random address via the cmd prompt to check and I'll notice every 6-7th packet I send times out. Sometimes 3 in a row which then results in me loosing connection alltogether. I do the typical router and modem reset but it never resolves it. 

 

This has happened daily for the past 3 days but has been a major issue for me for the past 2 months as well. I'll notice comcast will post maintenance in my area a few hours later, but not always, and even after maintenance the issue persists. It's not like the internet goes down, it's just repeatedly disconnecting me and since my work is VOIP on the phone, this makes it nearly impossible to stay connected for a whole call.

 

I've even tried switching hardware to no avail. All I can say is comcast is having issues and isn't very transparent about what those issues are.

Don't know if Comcast checks / cares. I've been having the same issue for 2 months now. Working from home at this point is becoming impossible. I have an approved Modem (SB8200), an Orbi RBR40 mesh system, and am really only using two computers in the home at any give time.

 

I've troubleshooted every way to Sunday (former Network Engineer by trade) and not a single thing has fixed it. I get 2 seconds of packet loss / connectivity drops every 2 minutes or so when using the system. This happens over and over until eventually the modem reboots itself after receiving the reboot signal from an upstream device I assume. Then, problems go away for a little while. But sure enough, they come back the same day.

 

Today though, I was able to shut off internet to a few of my WiFi devices that weren't actively being used for anything and that seemed to help. Which made me start thinking that maybe the Comcast device that's upstream from my Modem is limiting the amount of MAC addresses in it's table? Maybe they're doing some form of QoS to limit how many devices a single home can have technically online at the same time? Either way, the problem is incredibly annoying and sounds a lot like the problem you're having.

 

Of course, Comcast has been ZERO help in actually solving the issue. They seem to actively discourage people from getting support on their Internet connection outside of "Did you restart the modem??". 

 

Thankfully, I have 2 other 1gbps ISP's in my neighborhood, one of whom will be installing new service today. So hopefully I don't have to deal with Comcast anymore.

 

If you make any progress on this issue, please let me know. I'll do the same.

The same thing is happening to me!! At the same times it is happnening to you... from around 9 am to noon and then again after 1 pm til 5 ish, often around 830 at night too. Working from home is nearly impossible when the wifi keeps going out!!! (I even use an ethernet cable to my modem and no luck -- still goes out)

Thank  you all for your replys .. makes me think I'm not crazy.  There must be a reason Its only at certain times!!

It has occurred even when I directly connect my PC  to the router , and bypass any Wifi or direct wire connections from my house so it's not any load I produce..  Going to call comcast today  see if I can get a service guy to come over durring one of these times , (take a vacation day on that day from my job I guess) .

I will add that I discovered a Link Aggregation feature under the advanced tab of the SB8200 UI.  I clicked it on and will hope that that helps solve the problem.

Edit:  it did not solve the problem.  It simply allows two cables to bond as one into a switch that also has LAP enabled.

Comcast is zero help == true.

I have the same issue:  SB8200 dropping connection.

Tech came out said everything is good coming into my house and all connections are good inside.

Still dropping connects.

Contacted support pleading from them to look at the SB8200 event log.

Answer was no, but here's $60 and we'll schedule a tech to come out to your home.

Unbelievably stupid support management.

So anyway,,, here's my event log

Similar problems too. Frequent outages several times a day. Motorola SB8600.

After a reboot I have zero uncorrected packets (except for channel 32 suspiciously). When a disconnect happens uncorrected packets spike on all channels. It comes back 1 to 10 minutes later.


Here's a snippet of my log:

So after vist where lines were checked made sure tight etc .. Technition noticed an attenuator dongle attached on cable entering modem (something previous Tech must have put on many years ago)  He seemed confident that was the cause however No bueno... Next day issue resumed like clockwork.

 

I went to comcast store and they suggested updating firm ware , but ARRIS site has none stating that the ISP pushes the firmware (Im on HW version 6 , but not sure if that correlates to Firmware)

 

I thought about doing the LAG as well , so thank you  @kanick  for ruling that out too..

Update ...literally nothing from Comcast on this ... At wits end  might just  purcase another brand Modem as suggested in earlier post and see if that works..
