Regular Internet Disconnects

Hello, I've been fighting with internet connection drops every day or two on a regular basis for a while now.  The only way to get it back up is to restart the modem.  Would love some help troubleshooting, if possible.

 

Basics:

  - Motorola SB8600 3.1

  - Gigabit plan

  - No splitters at all between line into house and modem

If anyone has any suggestions on things to try or look at closer, I would appreciate it!

Is this with a router in the mix / WiFi connection ? If so, for a test, does a computer hardwired directly to the MB8600 have the same problem ?

Yes. Your signal stats are good ! The error logs, not so good. I'm just trying to narrow things down. With this test, we are trying to isolate this from being either a WiFi / router-only problem or a problem with the general connection to the Comcast system which would of course affect both. It's a first step of their troubleshooting S.O.P. before I can escalate it up the ladder to Comcast employees here.

The setup is a single coax coming into the house with no splitter going into the MB8600.  From there, it goes straight into a Google Wifi Mesh router puck.  From the puck, it goes straight to an TP-Link 8-port switch.

 

I can possibly try the test of going straight to a computer, but I'm not sure when it'll happen next - which makes it challenging.

 

Any other suggestions?  Do the numbers in the output I supplied look appropriate?  Concerns with the events in the log?

 

Thanks in advance!
