Orbi Internet Drops
I have an Orbi CBR750. I just bought it to replace an Orbi RBR50 because Spectrum told me that my intermitent internet is due to my router. I am convinced they are wrong but since we upgraded our internet, it wasn't opposed to upgrading my router. But much as I expected, we are still having drops in internet multiple times a day. I see T3 Time-outs, Lost MDD Timeouts, SYNC timing failures, etc. in my event log and my cable connection shows a TON of uncorrectables.
I have had Spectrum techs out 4 times in 6 weeks as I know the issue is with them and not my equipment, but without a drop happening while they are here, they do nothing. Any ideas on what is wrong or what I can say that will get them to send someone that will actually fix the issue?

Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
