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. ...

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.

Power ranges from 5.1 to 7.0 dBmV now. SNR very stable from 38.9 to 40.3. I am also attaching a screenshot the tech gave me which shows the "Flux" since I don't see that listed anywhere.
Thank you both so much for your help with troubleshooting my issue. It is greatly appreciated.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
