Review the logs on when you notice this outage. If the modem is fairly new, the unit should be in good working order.
Ensure no coax line splitters are in between the modem and ISP service box.
Ensure good RG6 coax cable is being used.
Have the ISP check the signal quality up to the modem.
Factory rest the modem and setup from scratch and review the logs for any disconnects or problems seen at the time of the disconnect. Are you seeing many T3 or T4 timeouts in your modems logs?
Look at the top LEDs for indications of ISP service behaviors. Review the user manual for these behaviors.
- AsianflavorJul 10, 2019GuideThanks so where do I find the logs are they when I log into the router and in one of those settings?
Also if I have to buy a new modem I will I bought this one may 2018 so it's fairly new I hope it's not broken today it was a bit more stable and so I think I might have been right but reading reviews for this thing in Amazon has me a little worried.- FURRYe38Jul 10, 2019Guru - Experienced User
Should be under Advanced tab/Admin or Logs.
I have this same modem/router. Have had no issues with it. Thought I do use it as a modem only. Your issue maybe ISP signal which need to be look into more with your ISP.
Make sure there are not coax line splitters between the modem and the ISP service box. Ensure good quality RG6 coax cabling is in place.
- AsianflavorJul 10, 2019GuideSo am I looking at event logs or just logs also maybe I should try just using it at a modem do you have Comcast too? I am using the Comcast self install kit and there are no splitters here the other thing is that alot of times I lose connection and all the lights are on and still flashing like if it isn't turned off but I lose connection at least 5-6 times a day and I have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work.
