who is your ISP? ( I am guessing it is not Comcast).
you Upstream (US) power is reaching its limit (51 dBmV) and your ISP does not want to enable extended US power for your device. Most likely the issue is on your line by the ISP and they need to tune your cable to reduce the US power from the Modem.

I use Cox Communications. Should I call their support and mention what you wrote about the incoming power via the cable connection?
Is there a place that the Event Logs exist in file form? I just see Event Logs in the Administration>Event Log window. Here's a snapshot of what I am seeing there.

yes, mention them that you need to REDUCE YOUR UPSTREAM POWER. Ideally it should be in low 40s but yours is MAXED out to 51dBmV.
It the same event log what you posted before but unfortunately you posted partial screenshot. I need full screenshot.
if COX does not help you, PM me.
