Just moved into a new house with Cox 300mbps. Constant T3 T4 errors and modem resets

Question

Hi,

So the modem upstream light begins blinking green and then the internet will temporarily shut down and then come back up. This happens 5-10 times a day especially while streaming video of any kind, and video will freeze/buffer and games will lagspike like crazy, etc. When looking at&nbsp;192.168.100.1/&nbsp;around the time that this happens I can see that the usual 4 upstream channels are not there and there will only be 1 or 2, and eventually all four will come back.
Main Errors in the log that appear with frequency:

Unicast ranging received abort response
Dynamic Range Window Violation
Started Unicast ranging Ranging- No response received T3 timeout
Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request but no unicast maintenance opportunities received T4 timeout

I have a new C7000v2 modem/router

From what I understand my SNR and power levels are ok, but not sure. When these problems happen there will only be 1 or 2 upstream channels and the power level will be 40+ though as opposed to the 4 shown here

Judging by the recent modem history we will likely need a technician out to the home. Short of that, make sure you have bypassed any possible splitters/checked connection for tightness etc.
