C6220 losing internet signal

[tsp01]

My router keeps losing internet connection. It is connected to the Xfinity and there are no outages in the area. It always shows signal strength, but multiple times a day loses internet connection. I have tried turning it off, factory resetting it, etc. and nothign has worked. Please help!

Hi @tsp01 

Read this post to Solve this Problem:- https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/My-C6220-Router-Modem-is-constantly-discon...

That post doesnt really help, but here are my answers to the questions. 

1. What firmware is on the combo device?

V1.02.11

2. Is it just the 5g that goes down or does the 2.4ghz go down?

both

3. Is the internet connection going down or the wifi? 

internet connection, signal still strong

4. If you do a specifi wifi scan (using a phone or other pc app) how is the wifi congestion in your area? If its high, you can try changing to open channels.

5. How far from the router is the computer? 5ghz doesn't transmit as far as 2.4ghz and doesn't transmit as well through materials. 

doesn't matter how close or far, it still goes out

6. Any other devices having issues or just the device your using?

all devices lose internet

7. What wifi chipset is the device thats having issues running?

all devices have issues

Log into the C6220 and get a screen snip of your cable connections page and event logs. That helps us check the siganl back to the ISP.

You missed out on a log of info on the cable connection page. The whole page is key. 

As well as you attached the connected device page and not event logs.

[plemans]

there should be "logs" and "event logs" 

You've got the logs on here. Not the event  logs.

Also, your power levels fluctuated quite a bit in a short time. Usually they're fairly stable but yours changed at least 1dbmv in a matter of minutes. I'd check your line for kinks, damage, loose/old/bad/correded/cheap connectors. Remove any splitters, amplifiers, or attenuators from your line as well. 

Plus you only have 1 locked upstream channel. You usually have more than 1. 

another hint to check the line.

Sorry, I'm trying to figure it out! I will look into the things you mentioned. Here is the event log

[plemans]

the event logs show a bunch of t3/t4 errors. These also tend to indicate a line issue. 

Check the line. Prefereably move the modem to right where the coax enters the home and direct connect it. this ensures that wiring within the walls of the home aren't the issue.

I got a new cable and am still having the same t3/t4 issues and still only 1 upstream channel

[plemans]

A new coax cable? 

did you check the rest of the line? and connectors?
