Modem reset a few times a week

All,

 

I started to get more anoyed with the modem disconnects and reboots. I have the following modem signal information after a fresh reboot. Are those ok, is it something else?

 

I see a lot of R02.0 Critical errors:

All your upstream channels are too high and out of spec, post the rest of your downstream signals. The ones you posted are too low or close to being out of spec. Both will contribute to a modem resetting

Tahnks for your reply.

 

What do I need to check? the cable connections, or the modem is going bad?Are are the normal values for downstream/upstream?

You need your downstream levels to compare. But the upstream has to drop at least 4-5db. Generally, it’s your cable connections but it could also be an outside drop or tap issue

In a self troubleshooting effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are there any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/re-configured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1002 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage types like GE, RadioShack, RCA, Philips, Leviton, Magnavox, and Rocketfish from big box stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Wal-Mart etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test

If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street/pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed, and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.
