netgear cable modem cm1000
I have a netgear modem, nighthawk router, and orbi mesh network. Every day I lose internet and have to reset my modem. How do I know if this is a modem problem or something happening with my internet ...

when you log into the modem, you'll click on the cable connection icon. I attached the icon you click on. it'll show the cable connection info.

any splitters or signal attenuators in the coax line?
your have a lot of channels not locking.check the line for damage, kinks, old/bad/cheap/corrorded connectors and replace them if there are.
- PennyBearMay 27, 2021GuideI went and cleared all the wires around it and tightened the connectors and now I have no internet. does this mean it's the cable or is it possible to over tighten the connectors. they seemed loose when I checked them
