Drops me from the Internet during Multiplayer PC Gaming. Losing stats and causing game suspensions (bad rep)
I have an issue that's been going on for 6 months now. 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): 9-5-2018, 14:33:16 Warning(5) "Dynamic Range Window violation" 9-5-2018, 14:33:16 Warning(5) "RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;" 9-5-2018, 14:33:15 Critical(3) "No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;" 9-5-2018, 14:33:9 Notice(6) "DS profile assignment change.

after multiple weeks of the same intermittent packet loss every 10-15 seconds I gave it a chance to consider other issues besides a new game launch/ high traffic causing my issues.
