Daily short outages with CBR750 and Comcast

I have a CBR750 in a mesh setup so I can work remotely.  Starting last week, the System would  lose cable connection for a minute or two.  Sometime I had to reboot modem.  Would always come back.  Also, tried direct ethernet connection to modem and still no connection.

 

Called Comcast and they said they detected a line issue and they came out and said they detected noise at the pole and replaced something.  Issues seemed mostly better but yesterday the same issues arose.

 

Called comcast again they sent some signals to modem.  Now working but worried it will startup again.  Seems most prevalent between 11 am and 2 pm.

 

Also, any settings I should add/change to my setup?

 

I have a CBR750 and 4 sats (large old two story house, Modem in downstairs kitchen, have two sats downstairs and two upstairs).

Re: Daily short outages with CBR750 and Comcast

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

What speed tier packages do you pay for for the UP and DOWN? 

 

What channels are you using? 
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

 

Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page.

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. 
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.
