C6250 Router Keeps Dropping Internet

Hi There,  My router all of sudden started dropping our internet connection.  I can unplug from wall and cable and reconnect it and it'll work for about a day and then the next day it stops working again.  Any ideas?  Could this be a weak signal from the streed? (Spectrum Cable)

    I'd include a screen snip of your connections page of your modem. This can help people to help you. Another thing to try is check to make sure you connectors are tight, not corroded, coax line isn't kinked, remove any splitters (if possible) or amplifiers. These can all cause problems with your signal and cause issues. Worth removing/fixing to try to troubleshoot.

      Thanks my friend, the splitters was the issue. Once I removed them i’m back in business.
