CM1200 Amber Upstream Light and Occasionally Blinking Downstream Light

Correct, it is still partial service. But it works :)

So I went ahead with the purchase of the CM1200 (again) to replace the Spectrum stock modem (citron). First day was was normal - CM1200 hooked up to the RAX200. Recently switched to the gigabit plan with Spectrum. Speeds tested were good with multiple tests - wasn't really expecting to achieve the full 1gbps download speed but did get substantial improvement over the stock modem. Approximately 24 hours later, the upload light starting blinking on the CM1200. Checked cable connection status before and after light blinking and they are the same. No loss of connection and degradation in speeds for both download and upload. So I seem to be in the same situation - upload light blinking green on the cm1200 but yet no connection issues. Just wondering why it's blinking though?? I got 3 upstream bonded channels locked and 1 upstream ofdm channel locked. See attached for screenshots. of the connected channels. I have not rebooted the modem yet since the blinking of the light. Will see what happens on its own in a few days. Any Netgear folks reading through these community entries?? Are you looking into this??

Do does the Hitron modem do the same thing with the blinking US led?
