not sure which one is the connection status screen but all the things say they are green and connected. Ill attach what I think you are asking about. Just let me know if its not the right thing.
Thank you for the reply!

You have come correct and un-correctables that should be Zeros. Check and make sure all fittings are snug, no kinks in the cable line up to the modem. Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cabling. Remove any coax line splitters.
