Netgear CM1200 Modem (Question)

Quick question, when the downstream light is blinking I read that it means it’s scanning for new channels. However, it’s been more than 24hs already that the Modem started blinking the light for Downs...

    Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. 
    Be sure there are not 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.

    By the way, I rebooted the Modem through there and the downstream light stopped blinking. However, I know it might do it again in the future. I just want to know if always have to manually reboot the router when that happens or if the light stops blinking automatically even though it was already 72hrs after it started blinking. 🤷‍♂️

Do you have a screen snip of your modems connections page and logs? That helps

    when you first log into the cm1200, its the internet connection icon.

      There you go, it’s all purely default. Should I enable or change anything within here?
