1. Your power is too high. Need to come down a few notches. https://kb.netgear.com/24311/Power-level-guidelines-for-a-NETGEAR-cable-modem-router?article=24311
2. I see way to many correctables and since you didn't capture the Un-correctables column, I can only presume there are some there as well. Those should be mostly zero's.
Ask your ISP about turning down the power a bit and have them check the signal on the line. Check the cabling from there box to the modem. Remove any splitters and make sure the coax connections are connected well and snug. Should help with the correct and un-correctables.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cabling.

I'm having sort of the same issue except it's my upstream that keeps blinking and connection dropping for whatever reason. I've gone round for round with Xfinity on the connection. They did have to fix the box in the back of my property and then run me yet another new line. Even after all that my connection just sporadically drops whenever. I've moved the modem to where the coax from Xfinity comes into the house to eliminate anything extra in between and yet the problem still persists. What could be the issue? Is it just a bad modem? I'm including the Event logs and connection status from the modem here. It's only just over a year old. I can't imagine that something which costs $250 would only last just a short time.
