Cm500 disconnection issues
My cm500 seems to work perfectly fine all day till late evening when it resets constantly. I have an ac1200 router and it does not reset. Wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this?.
Hello eddiebear
My guess is could be the signal levels on the modem or it could be a area issue with your ISP late evening is mostly when people in your area would be home and all online. I would just double check your cable line connections make sure they are good and contact your ISP to run some diagnostics check all the signal strength and maybe send a tech out to do some adjustments if needed. Hope to hear your feedback.

This still may be some issues with noise on your cable lines Im seeing alot of T3 and T4 time outs here is a explanation of what those mean
T3 ( Ranging Request Retries Exhausted )
Explanation: The cable modem has sent 16 Ranging Request (RNG-REQ) messages without receiving a Ranging Response (RNG-RSP) message in reply from the CMTS. The cable modem is therefore resetting its cable interface and restarting the registration process. This typically is caused by noise on the upstream that causes the loss of MAC-layer messages. Noise could also raise the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the upstream to a point where the cable modem’s power level is insufficient to transmit any messages. If the cable modem cannot raise its upstream transmit power level to a level that allows successful communication within the maximum timeout period, it resets its cable interface and restarts the registration process. This error message is DOCSIS event message is R03.0, Ranging Request.
T4 ( Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received )
Explanation: The cable modem did not received a station maintenance opportunity in which to transmit a Ranging Request (RNG-REQ) message within the T4 timeout period (30 to 35 seconds). The cable modem is resetting its cable interface and restarting the registration process. Typically, this indicates an occasional, temporary loss of service, but if the problem persists, check for possible service outages or maintenance activity on this particular headend system. This error message is DOCSIS event message is R04.0, Ranging Request.
Hope this helps
