AC1900 C700v2 Connection Drops

I have had the Nighthawk AC1900 C7000v2 for awhile now and what seems like everyday now, I will lose connection and have to sit for a few minutes untill it reconnects. This has been happeneing for as long as I can remember but am getting tird of it finally. When diagnosing the problem I have found out that the "upload LED" starts to flash when connection is lost. It will flash for a minute then the internet and download LED along with the upload will all three shut completely off and a couple minutes later they will come back on and my connection will work find untill it happens again in 20-30 mins. Is it my ISP or is my router being the issues? note: I have not contacted my ISP yet and I have 1-24 download channels locked but only 1-4 upload lock while 5-8 are unlocked.

Re: AC1900 C700v2 Connection Drops

If you have any splitters, amplifiers, or attenuators in the coax line remove them. 

Check the line for kinks, bends, poor/old/cheap/bad connectors. Also, check for loose connectors. 

Move the C7000 to right where the coax enters the home and connect there. 

 

Reason I say this is your log is showing line issues, power lissues. The dynamic range window violations are when power goes above/below spec. And you have many t3/4 errors. This together indicates a line issue/cmts issue.

Do you also have your logs? The cable connection page is just a snip in time of whats going on at that time. If the power is fluctuating and causing reboots/drops, the logs should show that.

I can't seem to get my logs to send via the email settings in the router but I do notice alot of DoS Attacks on the logs.

Here a screen shot, it just happened as described in inital post. Upload flashes for a minute, then all three upload internet and download flash. then they shut off and come back on and everything works fine till it repeats.

Re: AC1900 C700v2 Connection Drops

So if my cable coming out of my wall is all good, what I am hearing is my ISP needs to work on the lines in my area? I will look into my cable after work today thank you!

Yes have them check the lines. Somethings causing your power levels to flucatuate outside of the power window and its happening a lot.
