Correctable modem errors.
My CM500-100NAS coaxial cable modem has many correctable errors, and no uncorrectable errors. What do I do about the coaxial cable modem's many correctable errors?

That's a very small amount, depending on the modem uptime since the last reboot. There are zero uncorrectables. They are the ones that would be a problem. Correctables cost you nothing. They are negligible. The FEC (forward Error Correction) function is doing its job, humming along correcting corrupted bits. The downstream power is a bit on the low side, but the SNR is very good.
If you are not having any performance issues, then don't sweat it.

Are you actually experiencing any connectivity / speed / dropout problems, or just focusing on the errors ? Not having any uncorrectable is a good thing !
