CM1150V Connectivity Issues
I installed a Netgear CM1150V modem in April with an Orbi mesh wireless network. Was working beautifully until a couple of weeks ago. Now, I have to do a power off reset at least once a day as it just...

What "loses connectivity"? The modem disconnects from the Internet? The (unnamed Orbi) router disconnects from the modem? Wifi devices lose a connection? Wired stuff loses the connection?

The modem loses connectivity. I verify that my provider is transmitting to the modem and get the message cannot connect to the modem. The Orbi is still transmitting...so the signal is lost at the modem.

What do the LEDs on the modem show when this happens? The ones to look for are the Downstream, Upstream and Online LEDs.

do you have screen snips of the cable connections page and the logs? These are key as we look at several things in conjunction.
If you have any splitters, amplifiers, or attenautors, I'd remove them for testing. also check the coax cable for kinks, damage, loose/cheap connectors, or even cheap coax. I've had things like moisture in a line cause issues before. so its always good to try moving the modem to right where the coax enters the home to prevent issues in the home from being the problem.
