Modem Dropping Internet Connection

Hinchey

I have the Hitron Modem and the upgraded 300Mbps connection and I am regularly dropping the internet connection. For some reason it seems to happen most often around 10pm at night.  I originally thought it was my Mesh Wifi but then this morning I checked the Modem and the lights were showing the modem had lost connection.

After reading your message I have ensured that all coax connections are tight including the connections at the modem and where the coax enters the house and at the splitters.  I did not notice any loose connections.

@Hinchey it could be a faulty splitter or a booster is required to bring the signal up (as it goes through the wiring in your home). After the steps, have you noticed an improvement?

@Hinchey the signal levels are still off-spec. I'd recommend scheduling a service technician to improve those levels and to make sure you don't experience any more disconnections. It may also be a power-related issue if the Hitron/3rd party router is connected to a power bar.

Can I schedule a service appointment through you?  I am off most of next week which would be convenient if possible.

Hinchey,

Although some Shaw employees participate in this forum, I recommend that you directly telephone Shaw, toll-free: 1-888-472-2222, to schedule a service appointment, at some mutually-convenient time, next week.
