CAX30 drops cable connection 2-3 times a day
Netgear CAX30 Firmware 2.2.2.2 Devices connect through WiFi and wired connections through an unmanaged switch. The CAX30 was pretty solid up until 2 weeks ago when the Internet connection began ...
Current uptime is 4 days, but that's because we had power go out. Before that, uptime was over a week. Seems like reducing downstream voltages below 7 dBmV may have corrected the problem. I say MAY because now the upstream voltages are 1 dBmV higher than recommended on two of the channels. The other 2 are within specs. The tech put a splitter on to reduce the voltages. If this becomes problematic again, I'll switch the splitter for a 3 dB attenuator.
Thanks for everyone's help with this. I'll mark it as solved.
Try putting it on and check the levels, if the upstream is higher remove it.

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