High Latency and Disconnects Every Night

What do the modem's signal status values look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1 

Please copy all of the text in its entirety of the *Downstream Power Levels*, the *SNR's* (Signal to Noise Ratios), and the *Upstream Power Level* numbers and paste them into your next post.

What is the exact make and model number of the modem / gateway device ?

Modem: ARRIS SURFboard S34

There are RF signal / connection quality problems. Downstream channels 17 through 24 are not even locking in. And some that are locking in are on the low / weak side or out of spec. And the upstream power is on the high side and it may be intermittently fluctuating even higher to out of spec levels. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.

In an effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/reconfigured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1002 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.

Also, check the coax cable for any damage such as cuts, nicks, abrasions, kinks, sharp bends, or animal chews.

If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two-way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street / pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.

Good luck with it !

These issues started suddenly around the end of August and there have been no changes to the wiring within my house. Their is a single coax from demarc to the modem. Can I get someone out to check the wiring upstream? 

Good Afternoon, @where_did_the_data_go! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums. I completely understand the need for a solid connection within the home, and want to make sure your services are working as intended. Thank you so much @EG for sharing all your awesome knowledge, and helping dive into troubleshooting right away. 

Just to ensure we are on the same page, did you swap out the coax cable that is from your device to the wall outlet already? If so, we would want to dive deeper into the account with you to see about our next steps. Please let us know. 

Mine disconnects every morning.
