1 edit | [Signals] Dropping connection We have been losing internet for at least 5-10 seconds every 30-120 minutes multiple times, (for at least a year +) wondering if my signals look ok.

Signal to Noise Ratio: 38 dB
Modulation: QAM256
Upstream
Freq/Power: 34.800 MHz 46 dBmV

tried connecting directly to the modem and still same thing, no packets loss to 192.168.100.1, modem doesn't restart either.

Newtown, PA | At 9dBmv, your DS signal is too high. The acceptable range is +8 to -8. Call Comcast. |

I beg to differ. 
»Comcast High Speed Internet FAQ »What should my Signal Levels be?
For all modems:
-10 dBmV to +10 dBmV "Recommended".
-11 dBmV to -14 dBmv / +11 dBmV to +14 dBmV "Acceptable".
-15 dBmV & +15 dBmV "Maximum".

| I don't see anything that jumps out as an issue. Monitor your signal levels for the next couple hours. Record the levels every half hour to see if any of them are moving. If you don't see a huge change towards or outside "Maximum" limits, then it could be a hardware issue with your modem, a Comcast issue, etc. |

Are those specs still valid for D3 with bonded channels? IIRC, some folks here say no. |

1 edit | That's a good question. I've had no one provide me with verified DOCSIS 3.0 signal recommendations.
Too add:
I posted a question about this in the Direct Forum a while back:
SteveTeow  responded with this: "I checked with netcool and the specs for "Signal Levels" FAQ should be the same for docsis 3.0 specs/recommendations as well. Nothing needs to be changed in the current FAQ."
That's all I've had to go on thus far. |

Upstream power jumped up, is that whats causing frequent disconnects? (got these when the internet went out) |

I think you just caught the culprit.
Call Comcast Tech support. You have proof there is an issue either with your connection or the modem.
