My CM-1150V Cable Modem has in issue where the downlink light starts flashing, but everything is working correctly. The modem status shows no issues. When this happens, I've received two CM-STAT...
Post the entire logs back here plus the cable connections page. That helps more than a single error.
If there's any spliters, attenuators, or amplifiers in line, remove them. Also check for any damage, kinks, bad/cheap connectors, or extended run with the coax cable.
Here's a screenshot of the error log. The CM-STATUS 16 and 24 messages don't start the downlink light flashing.
One other data point: The downlink light *stops* flashing when I receive CM-STATUS 23 and 22 messages.
I do have a splitter in the line, but cannot remove it.

Here's the cable status.
Cable splitter is on the outside of the house, before it goes into TV room and under house towards the bedrooms. Therefore, cable modem cannot be placed before the splitter.
