The reset didn't solve it, so I let Spectrum know about the frequent disconnects to see what they would say.

He added a piece to throttle down the signal and it has been working well.
Thanks for all the help from the community - I really appreciate it!

Modem only device, no router component to get in the way.

Looks like it disconnects fairly regularly. Have you tried hardwiring a PC to the modem and using it for a while to see if its a line/modem issue?

I have not done that. It's not easy to set up a PC where the connections are, but if that is the best suggestion, I would be willing to try it. My wife and I both work remotely and the frequent disconnects are bad for business, not just inconvenient. The firmware for the router is V1.1.3.18.2.1.14
