Cable connection issues on Comcast/Xfinity with CBR750
Hello. I am using the Orbi CBR750 modem/router mesh combo with one RBS750 satellite, and Comcast/Xfinity as my ISP. Starting this morning, I have been experiencing strange issues with my connection. For reference, I bought the Orbi kit on 11-25-2022 and the date of my last config file is 12-4-2022, which until today was the last time I made any configuration changes. (I can't tell you what the previously installed FW was before today, but this might help.)
My network had been working fine from 12-4-2022 until just today 1-23-2023 with no outages or slowdowns that I am aware of. But suddenly this morning when I woke up, my phone wouldn't connect to WiFi, nor would my smart TV, nor would my PlayStation, all of which use the 5GHz WiFi channel on my network. Weirdly enough, devices that use only 2.4GHz (like the Nintendo Switch) seemed unaffected. So the first thing I did was to log in to the online gateway on my desktop and reboot everything. After doing so, I also checked to see if there were any firmware updates, which there were, so I installed those as well, before rebooting everything again. So now my current firmware version on the CBR750 is V4.6.14.4 and the FW version on my RBS750 is V4.6.14.3. However, right after the firmware update, I noticed something curious when returning to the Basic Home screen. Namely, under "Cable Connection" there is now a yellow caution saying "Status: Poor." This, despite everything seemingly working normally again. When I click on the page for details, it says something about my Downstream signal being weak, which I've never seen before. Nothing at all about my setup has changed from 7 weeks ago when I first set up my network, save for this new firmware update today.
I have rebooted my modem several times, to no avail. I ran ipconfig and did release/renew as admin. I have also disconnected all wires, including power, coaxial, and Ethernet, and then reconnected them again. There is no damage to any of the cords, everything is pristine. I am not using any splitters, attenuators, or adapters of any kind that could weaken the signal.. My coaxial cable connection goes directly from the wall to my modem with nothing in between.
For what it's worth, my WiFi does seem to work for now. Neverthless, this caution message worries me, so I tried calling Comcast/Xfinity to see if they might be able to re-provision the modem, because in the past when I had issues on another Netgear device, this always seemed to fix things if a simple reboot didn't already. However, when I called them they said they were unable to detect an attached device. From their end, it looks like I do not have a modem connected! Thus, they cannot send a reset signal. They said it could possibly be a line issue, but they seemed baffled as well. They scheduled me for an appointment with a technician this Thursday.
What's weird is, aside from these error messages, everything is pretty much working fine. That is, the devices that couldn't connect this morning are now connected and working again. However, the gateway page still says "Cable Connection Status: Poor" and my ISP still can't detect my modem, even though it's online. It shows the status as being disconnected, even though it clearly isn't.
As an aside, I've just read the note that had been pinned to the forum a few days ago by user "FURRYe38" about a known issue with Comcast/Xfinity apparently splitting its 1Gbps speed tier into either 800Mbps or 1.2Gbps in some areas and how this is causing issues for some users, but that isn't the case with my account. When I called and spoke with a Comcast/Xfinity today they were able to confirm that I still have 1Gbps down and 20Mbps up as my active plan, and the tier has not been split way in my area. So that doesn't seem to be the source of the problem in my case. Logs incoming...

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Other than the power being too high, should be ok other wise.
Have the tech review any Errors, Criticals or Warnings seen in the events log page as well.
As about a in-line attenuator to help with power levels.

You're getting that not because your levels are low but because they're to high. It should be between -7.5 and 7.5dbmv. You're over 11. So its to hot coming into the modem. The log is indicating that as well.
You could try putting a double or triple spliter in line (make sure to cap off the other coax ends) to see if it drops the levels a bit.
That might help.
Just a quick follow-up to close this thread. The solution proposed by @plemans worked! The page now reads: "Cable Connection Status: Good" in green. Also, no warnings or criticals in the event log since January 26th, when the splitter was installed. No more connection issues either. Everything has been rock-solid since then.

For any Errors, Criticals or Warnings on the Events log page, the ISP will need to review them and help resolve them.
You might try a full on Factory reset and setup from scratch on the CBR at some point as well.
As mentioned by plemans the power is too high. Ask them to lower it or install a attenuator if they have one.
Thank you both for responding. Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but is it the upstream, downstream, or both on which the power is too high?
Also, I did do a FULL factory reset this morning, and other than the login, SSID, and password, I left all other settings at default just to rule things out. This is what the logs show now:Cable Connection:

Event Type Code: 4 Things seem more stable, but it's only been 15-20 minutes or so. Cable connection still says "Poor" which I guess is due to the power from the line being too high. So I guess I will wait until the Comcast/Xfinity technician comes and ask them how they can address that. Is there anything else I should communicate to them at that time? Any advice would be much appreciated. I'd really hope to have this resolved in one trip, if possible. Thank you for your knowledge on this.If you have a double/triple splitter (cap the unused ports) you can put that in line. It drops the power a bit. Might get it down to a reasonable level to see if it'd stay stable.Thats what I did with mine as it was coming in around 11-12 dbmv and had a bunch of errors/ issues. Worked well after that.

Just wanted to offer a quick THANKS to all on this thread. I was having the same issues, but after finding this discussion and the offered solutions, I tried them and was able to resolve my issue as well. Determining that my incoming power was too high (looking at log info), and how to reduce (by using a splitter) helped me to understand what was happening and how to fix. THANKS for your dedication to helping others !
I have an Xfinity tech coming out tomorrow... I'll review with them to see if they had other solutions they prefer, but I'm sure happy to have my internet speeds back up to useable ranges now.
Awesome work !!
