Frequent cable modem disconnections, errors 16 and 24, uncorrected errors

Hello,

I've been having frequent loss of internet connectivity.  I've actually already replaced my cable modem and wifi routers, and checked all of my ethernet cables, and continue to have the problem with increasing frequency.  The cable modem logs show constant error codes 16 and 24.  Connection page shows quickly accumulating uncorrected errors even though the channel strengths look OK.

Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) / an upstream channel / return path impairment somewhere.


There are other signal stat values that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.


I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check for any real-time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant, and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.

You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

I am unable to create a DM.  The icon to create a new message is disabled.  I've signed in and attempted this on three devices.  Is there a problem with the website?

Thanks, I realized I had clicked to opt out of DM when I set up the account. Unchecked it fixed the problem.
