Internet and TV frequently dropping

[mlund05]

This is not exclusive to my internet, the tv is having problems too. We recently moved into a house and had the service line replaced and currently have a temp one in our yard so I am not sure if the problem relates to that or not.  The event logs show the two following errors happening a lot.

8/8/2020 12:08 82001200 5 RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;CM-MAC=14:c0:3e:1d:ed:90;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

8/8/2020 12:08 82000200 3 No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=14:c0:3e:1d:ed:90;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

Is there anything I can do to fix my tv and internet or this something I will just have to put up with until comcast comes and replaces my temporary service line in a week or so.

What do the modem's signal stats look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1

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

Start with the modem's signal stats. Perhaps they already are, or they are close to being out of spec and intermittently they go completely of spec. Try getting them here http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1

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

What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?

Is this a WiFi connection ?

[mlund05]

The modem is an arris t25, didn't have many choices that were voice compatible. I doubt its a wifi issue because my tv is having connection problems too.

The signal stats are o/k. Are there any modem signal error log entries being shown ? If so, please post them as well.

[mlund05]

about the only thing in the event log is just these two errors repeated over and over.

8/8/2020 12:08 82001200 5 RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;CM-MAC=14:c0:3e:1d:ed:90;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

8/8/2020 12:08 82000200 3 No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=14:c0:3e:1d:ed:90;CMTS-MAC=**:**:**:**:**:**;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

[EG]

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 !
