Re: Upstream issues/intermittent connection problem I tried to post an update to this but it got flagged as spam. I had the 3rd tech come out and he installed a MoCA filter to see if that would help my issue. It did not. I'm getting "Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC" showing up a lot now and still having intermittent connectivity issues. Re: Upstream issues/intermittent connection problem Just an update on this. After having a MoCA filter installed I went a few days (maybe 4) without any noticeable service interrupt but I'm still having intermittent issues on my end. I'm starting to think this is just an issue I'm going to have to live with for the next half year until I can move out of this location. In all my years in Arizona I have never had such a long lasting problem with internet service. I have unplugged and moved the power strip the router was plugged into, I have bypassed all possible splitters, I have taken the modem off my power strip and plugged directly into multiple different outlets. I have tried time and again to explain that I see more intermittent issues in the evening sometimes early morning than anything else. The last tech out was going to put in a new drop for me but due to the way things are wired here that was not possible. He took the plate off and took a look at the wiring and confirmed it's relatively new. I don't know what else they can even look at from my apartment to the 'monster box' attached to the side of my building feeding all the connections to the individual units here. I'm at a complete loss, I don't know that another tech is going to see anything different than the previous 3 have and my limited knowledge on this subject is already at its limit. I wish I could better describe the issue but I cannot!

I'm not sure what else can be done at this point but I'll be completely honest. After $110 in technician charges I'm not very thrilled that the issue still persists and I'm not eager for another charge like that just to possibly face the same results. During my first call I decided to get the complete care as I wasn't certain how bad this issue was going to be and figured it would be worth it. I see that I was still charged the full price on the second tech and would like to ask if the complete care doesn't cover anything until I've made my payment this month? If it's not going to help at all and I'll still be charged like that then you might as well remove it from my account as it's not what I thought it would be. Re: Upstream issues/intermittent connection problem I had a second tech out at the start of the week taking a look into my situation over here. He did the usual signal test but as I was explaining the issue he said "interference" and said he was going to go grab some tools off his truck. He came back in and tested my line and found power on it.He traced it to my outside storage unit where an unknown cable was being fed into a splitter that was rather dated (probably installed some 15+ years ago at this location). I had the tech bypass the splitter as I wasn't using the cable in my bedroom and have no intention to use it during the next 6 months that I'll be here. The internet worked fine for a few hours after that discovery but again started to have issues as the evening rolled on. I let most of the week go by to see how many times I would get T3 time-out issues so I could report back asking for further assistance. Today I jumped on my modem to see what the event log had to say and found the following: Time Priority Description Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:07 Warning (5) Lost MDD Timeout Apr 09 2018 17:15:44 Critical (3) Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out Apr 09 2018 17:27:12 Warning (5) MIMO Event MIMO: Stored MIMO=-1 post cfg file MIMO=-1 Apr 09 2018 17:27:12 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID Apr 09 2018 17:34:59 Warning (5) MIMO Event MIMO: Stored MIMO=-1 post cfg file MIMO=-1 Apr 09 2018 17:34:59 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID Apr 10 2018 08:07:13 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 07:53:00 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 07:53:00 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 07:53:40 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 07:53:40 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 07:54:04 Critical (3) Ranging Request Retries exhausted Apr 11 2018 07:54:04 Critical (3) Unicast Maintenance Ranging attempted - No response - Retries exhausted Apr 11 2018 07:54:24 Critical (3) Ranging Request Retries exhausted Apr 11 2018 07:54:24 Critical (3) Unicast Maintenance Ranging attempted - No response - Retries exhausted Apr 11 2018 07:55:00 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 07:55:00 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 07:56:20 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 07:56:20 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 07:57:40 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 07:57:40 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 07:59:19 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 07:59:20 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 08:00:59 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 08:01:00 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 08:09:20 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 08:09:20 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 08:09:58 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 11 2018 08:09:59 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 11 2018 19:19:05 Warning (5) MIMO Event MIMO: Stored MIMO=-1 post cfg file MIMO=-1 Apr 11 2018 19:19:05 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID Apr 11 2018 19:26:26 Warning (5) MIMO Event MIMO: Stored MIMO=-1 post cfg file MIMO=-1 Apr 11 2018 19:26:26 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID Apr 11 2018 19:39:23 Warning (5) MIMO Event MIMO: Stored MIMO=-1 post cfg file MIMO=-1 Apr 11 2018 19:39:23 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID Apr 11 2018 23:10:39 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 12 2018 16:58:33 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 12 2018 16:58:33 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out Apr 12 2018 16:58:53 Critical (3) Unicast Ranging Received Abort Response - initializing MAC Apr 12 2018 16:58:53 Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out It's not showing now but at the time of the T3 time-out today around 5 pm my dBmV for upstream channels was pushing 51 again.

If this is a chip issue as was stated by UnhappyCustomer1 is there nothing I can do while waiting for the patch on the issue? Also I cannot explain how the cable gets from the street to my particular apartment though I am right next to the street/cable lines and lines are usually run underground here, not 100% sure that's the case here but I think it is. Assuming the only splitter in my apartment was the one in the storage unit I no longer go through any splitters. Upstream issues/intermittent connection problem Greetings, I seem to be having connection issues whenever the upstream light on my modem starts blinking rather than remaining solid. The short of it: Modem: Netgear CM700 Upstream light on my modem should be a solid green. When I lose connection to the internet the upstream light is blinking and if the issue doesn't resolve the modem will cycle downstream/upstream until it connects. Sometimes I have to reboot the modem for it to actually reconnect to the internet. This is a brand new modem but I was having similar issues with my old Arris SURFboard before I switched to this. This issue persists if I remove the router from the picture. I already had a tech out early morning on Saturday and he was unable to see any problem with my modem or the line. He thought maybe it was my old coaxial cable and provided/installed a new one. Modem worked fine for about 2 hours then went right back into the unpredictable connection routine. I have another tech coming out Monday evening to see if they can help me but I would like to ask for other avenues for the tech to investigate if they do not see any problems again. I managed to get to a T2 and talked over my issue and since it's intermittent and didn't occur while I was on the line they weren't seeing any issues.
