Cax80 dropping internet connection
My CAX80 router/modem reports it's connected online but keeps dropping the internet connection. Just restarting the router won't work, I have to request that my ISP resend a signal. I'm not sure I adjusted a setting incorrectly (i.e. DNS or something else). I've attached a copy of my firmware, cable connection, and modem log. Any assistance would be really appreciated - not super knowledegable on this stuff.

Re: Cax80 dropping internet connection
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.

Be aware that if the signal is lost or becomes bad on the CAX80, the modem will continuously reboot on it's own until the signal is re-acquired and becomes good again.

Re: Cax80 dropping internet connection
Ya maybe the modem. When you loose connections, what are the front panel LEDS doing? if there ALL off accept for the PWR LED, then the modem maybe rebooting to which signifies that modem has lost the signal on the coax line.
