CM500 Errors and latest Firmware
I consistently get the following errors. Typically they coincide with a brief connectivity outage. 2022-6-29, 06:39:07 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC=10:0c:6b:6a:8b:18;CMTS-M...
ISPs have to update FW. Users can not. Some ISP will not update user owned modems so you maybe out of luck here.
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What is the brand and model of the host wifi router connected to the modem?
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly. Those errors your seeing your ISP needs to look into.
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.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

My router is a TP-Link Omada Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router - ER605
Thanks for the input, I'm going to follow up with the ISP and ask them to help resolve the errors.
Asking for a firmware update seemed to be an easy out for them in terms of 'oh hey, we don't that - ticket closed!'
I had one of the disconnects this afternoon and sent these logs to my ISP

I apologize for the issues that you are experiencing. As we have already completed a monitor on your modem, and the multiple times of contact between you and us, we have not seen any issues with your modem whatsoever. Unfortunately, we do not go by those logs. The statistics of this modem have not changed over the course of a few days so we do not see any problems with the service. I know as you have previously asked about upgrading firmware, this is not something Service Electric Cablevision will do as you have a third-party Netgear modem. For all of this, this is something you would need to contact Netgear directly for.
I did have a cable splitter, which is now removed from the equation. I'll post if that helps.
Well your on the lower fringes of the power being a bit too low. Would be good if the power could come up just a bit.
Hoping the removal of the splitter can help.
All those events posted can only be controlled by the ISP. The mode is just reporting what is happening.
You have a few correct and un-correctables. Ensure all connections and fittings are snugg.
Good quality RG6 coax cable is recommended.
Removing the splitter had a definite impact on the power. I'm really hoping this resolves this issue. Time will tell!
