Numerous connection dropouts a day over several months

Ah, my apologies, you are correct. I had to disconnect the router prior to being able to access to modem directly. Here are the channel values:

Downstream bonded channels

Upstream Bonded Channels

You don't get the signal stats from the router, you get them from your MB8600 cable modem.

 Get 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.

Everything is good. Please post the RF error / event log entries as well.

I've unfortunately had to factory reset the modem due to being unable to login after changing the default login.

I did however copy the first page (of many) of the event logs that occurred today when I grabbed the downstream/upstream values.

I've removed all MAC-related information:

Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on (loss of sync). 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 !

Greetings, @Just_A_Customer! I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us here on the forums. I hope you are having an amazing day. I apologize to hear of the issues you are having with your internet dropping out as often as it does. As EG mentioned, there certainly looks like something could be going on with the signal that we can certainly have a look at. Can you please send me a PM with your first and last name so I may further assist you?

I'm following up on this to report the issue was never resolved.

The tech came out and replaced the some/all of the cabling outside (hard to tell). They weren't informed on what was going on, and when I tried to explain I was basically ignored. At any rate, we had seemingly interruption-free internet for about a week or two.

Since then (it's been almost 3 months), our connection has been dropping AT LEAST once or twice every day, up to many times. Half the time it auto-reconnects (which can take a while), while the other half we have to manually disconnect the modem several times to get it to reconnect.

I have tried using both the Xfinity-provided modem and my own, and each are encountering the issues. I've even tried a different coaxial hookup in a different room to verify it wasn't just a single bad connection.

This is getting beyond irritating, and at this point it's nearly almost been half a year of daily internet disruptions.

One more follow-up:

I coordinated with ComcastMichael and got another tech scheduled out a few weeks ago. They replaced a lot of the existing cabling outside, installed a dedicated little housing for the new connection, and replaced some of the coaxial outlet inside the house. One thing to note about my particular case - there was a previous DishTV cable hookup on the house, which might have been causing some of the issues.

So far since the 2nd tech came out, there has not been a single distruption bar a quick dis-and-reconnect within an hour or two of the visit.

I'm hoping that this is finally resolved and can be chalked up to poor/improper existing cabling or weather damage.

I'm glad I was able to assist you with getting these internet dropouts figured out, @Just_A_Customer. If you ever need further assistance don't hesitate to reach out to us.

So what was the final solution ? @ComcastMichael and @Just_A_Customer  ? Wouldn't it benefit more customer readers here if it was made public without locking this thread  ??? Isn't that what these forums are for ???
