Frequent disconnects C7000v2, FW V1.02.04, on Suddenlink

I have had this C7000v2 modem/router for a couple months and it frequently disconnect 2g wifi. (not using 5g). Suddenlink has been out to "improve" the signal but it doesn't help. The firmware is V1.02.04. The Netgear website indicated it should be V1.02.06, but neither they, nor Suddenlink will update it. There does not seem to be an option to update it on your own.

I have tried numerous options like rebooting it, checking the connections, making certain there are no splitters on the cable coming in. Restarting al 6 computers that are connected to it. 

 

Short of buying another brand, what are my options?

Are you able to post your modem power levels and the event log?

I am seeing some T3 timeouts which typically indicates issues on the cable lines that a tech would have to come look at. are you seeing a lot of uncorrectables on the power level page?

I'm not certain where the power level page is. i took the advice of someone who though 52 dbvm was on the high end so I bought this device and installed it. The upstream power level is now at about 38 instead of 52.  So I will try this for a while and see what happens.

Well, so far so good.  Only had one disconnect in the last few days.
