Internet keeps getting disconnected throughout the day.
For the past month, my internet keeps getting disconnected at random times thorughout the day.
When it disconnects, the modem lights (except the power) start blinking like it just did a restart. I use an Arris SB6190 modem connected to a splitter.
I have tried 2 other splitters (and a signal booster) and get the same results. Connecting the modem directly to the cable and bypassing the splitter usually works a little better, but will still disconnect (though not as often).
When the connection is working, there appears to be a lot of noise on the line. Here is a sample of what I see at 192.168.100.1 when using a splitter:
And this is what I get when bypassing the splitter:
The first screenshot shows what it looks like right before I lose connection. The screenshot is soon after I bypass the splitter.
Is this a problem with my modem or a problem with the connection coming in from the outside?
Thanks.

I have been getting the same issues for the past few weeks. I work from home and this is unacceptable. I've tried chatting with support about this but there apparently is no way to start chat even though the website says it is available. Does any support person from Cox have an idea what may be causing this in my area? On a possibly related note, there were outages for my area for 2 weekends in a row last month, and the problems started happening after that.

I am having the same issues ever since I upgraded my internet service and got the new box. Like this post my internet randomly resets and restarts throughout the day. Really bothersome

I have that same issue. I've purchased several Routers, a new 3.1 cable modem (Arris Panaromic modem) but it still drops my connection right in the middle of gaming. This has caused several suspensions from multiplayer games and left a reputation that I leave during play. I get the same excuse on the phone that a technician needs to come look at the lines. Well I've had several technicians come to my house over the last 5 months. They all do something but I still suffer from disconnects. One technician said it was my router that was bad, but I just pulled it out of the box. Then he switched to maybe there is an issue beyond our house because the line from my modem to wherever tested good. I don't know what to do because Cox is the only one that can bring high-speed internet to my neighborhood.
I got to cable modem status page and I see the following items when I get a disconnect (Removed anything referencing a mac/HW address):
