I've been having intermittent disconnects lasting ~30 seconds on weekend afternoons ever since I got the Ignite 100 package last summer. It happens on ethernet and wifi, no matter what I'm doing (surfing, streaming, video calling, etc).
When I initiate a chat support session, the signal is usually good and there is no packet loss. But the issue continues soon after -- perhaps every 15 minutes or so.
I've tried swapping the modem, the technician has replaced something outside my house, and I've tried swapping the modem a second time, but the issue hasn't gone away. Rogers chat support has opened an engineering ticket on March 19th but I was told via chat support today that they have closed the ticket and found no issues.
However...! I have gathered some proof. I have started to keep a log of of my modem's signal levels and noticed that the upstream channel 3 signal strength goes up from ~40dBmV to >50dBmV whenever I'm experiencing the intermittent disconnect issue. I also see the following DOCSIS event message: No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;
Here are the signal logs I've kept over the last few weeks: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByfHiW1x8WuXbHVvRmg5QjhCWVk&usp=sharing
How can I get this issue resolved? I would rather have slower speeds if it meant that I could have a constant reliable connection. As it stands now, I get good speeds but I can only enjoy it 70% of the week.

@fastloader, there are probably a few items to consider to resolve this:
1. What modem do you currently have? If its a black vertical standing modem, the product sticker at the back of the modem will indicate which model it is. It will be a CGN3xxxxx model. If you have the newer white modem, also vertical standing, its the CODA-4582.
2. In terms of latency, the black Hitron CGN3xxx modems are Intel Puma 6 modems. Those modems have a latency problem due to the firmware design. The latest trial version firmware for the CGN3ACSMR should take care of that latency issue. Just to note, the latency problem with Intel Puma 6 modems is a world wide issue, not one that is restricted to Rogers or Hitron. Rogers engineering staff have been working on this for a year now with previous incremental firmware updates released since last fall, but, this time around the trial firmware will hopefully resolve the TCP/IP, UDP and ICMP latency for both IPV4 and IPV6.
3. The Hitron CODA-4582 is a new generation Puma 7 modem which Rogers, Hitron and Intel have been working at since its release in mid December 2016. This modem does not have any of the latency that is observed with the Puma 6 modems and with the latest firmware production version firmware loaded, has much better latency performance compared to its previous firmware versions. That is due to changes in the packet scheduling algorithm aimed at improving latency thru the modem with simultaneous incoming and outgoing data streams. If you are running an unlimited account you would be eligible for this modem.
4. In terms of disconnects, I would have to see the modem power levels, taken from the incoming cable itself, before any amplifier or splitter. Its possible, that even with adequate signal levels, one can have very fast dropouts occurring. The one way to detect this is to run Pingplotter, pinging the CMTS which is the first server that the modem connects to. By monitoring that modem to CMTS path, one can detect packet loss and latency issues that can arise due to congestion at the CMTS itself. Here is a link that describes how to do that:
http://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Intermittent-disconnects/m-p/364602#M35528
5. If you have an amplifier, and that has been in place for several years, its possible that the amp should be replaced. The older style amps which amplify everything can cause packet loss. The newer style amps have a VOIP path thru the amp which is not amplified. That port is also used for internet modems. As this port is essentially one port of a two way internal port, it only results in a signal drop thru the amp, without any packet loss. If you look at the amplifier, and it happens to have a VOIP port marked on it, that is the port that should be used for the internet modem. That will depend on the age of the amplifier. My personal opinion is that using an amplifier only results in terrible amplified signals in the system. The real solution is to take care of the signal losses that occur enroute to the home, and that might require a maintenance crew to do it. If so, then thats the route to take as it will probably solve the same problem for your neighbors as well.
Ok, can you can post the modem model and signal level data at some point? The next steps will depend on that info.

Random intermittent disconnections even after factory reset
Hello Forum!
I am a tenant at a house that has Rogers high speed internet. The service we have is 130 mbps down and 10 mbps up. The modem is CGNM-3552-ROG Router by Hitron Technologies. I have full access to the administrator at 192.168.0.1.
There are only two people in this house who use this internet and I am one of them. I have been experiencing random disconnections on my desktop connected to the router via ethernet cable as well as phone via 5G wifi. (regardless of whether the other person is using the internet or not). These disconnections happen for a couple of seconds each up to I'd say 20 seconds, and when they happen, I just straight up have no internet connection as indicated in the system tray, and no internet connection on phone even though the wifi signal shows it's constantly at full signal.
I have contacted technical support team, and they said they did not see any service interruptions on their end. They have suggested me to do a factory reset on the wireless modem and reboot the device which I did, and yet the problem is still here.
Today is the second day after factory reset, and under DOCSIS events, I've noticed the following messages:
No. | Time | type | Priority | Event |

Your signal levels looks good, I would suggest going to your local Rogers store and swapping your modem for the new white CODA 4582 Gateway.
Since you're on an unlimited usage plan you can swap to the new modem without issue.
07-08-2017 01:46 PM
Hello gp-se,
Thanks for replying!
Are you saying that the swap is free? What do I need to provide besides the old modem for the new CODA 4582 Gateway?
Would the account holder need to be here?
07-08-2017 07:47 PM
It is free, just bring your old gateway with you to the store, the account holder or people who have permission on the account need to be preset.

Good morning all,
I was having issues with my CGN3 (the original) and had it swapped for the new CODA-4582 (running 2.0.10.27). I'm on the 100/10 package, but keep having latency spikes and disconnects that cause interrupts/stutter during super important business meetings (ie - Xbox)

Here is a couple more, showing a 10min run now, as well as a big set of spikes earlier...
Current -->
Earlier -->
EDIT - update - just got off the line with "Tech Support" who advised me there is nothing on Rogers end causing the issues (despite him seeing 2 of the spikes over a 50ping test), and to contact a PC repair shop because either this 3rd party software or my PC must be causing the issues. HAH! So much for that route.

Hello again gp-se!
Thanks to your suggestion, I successfully replaced my old modem with the new CODA-4582 white modem.
Unfortunately, the intermittent disconnections did not go away, (they seemed to have gotten slightly better,but it'y only been 2 days, so I can't say for sure)
The following are the event logs:

Any idea on what I could do now to resolve the problem?
Thanks again for all your help!

your signal levels looks fine, SNR looks good. Since this issue is ongoing and not getting resolved I would suggest you contact the office of the president.

The only thing I can think of is Rogers is doing lots of infrastructure changes right now, because they are switching to Comcast X1 which is hybrid IPTV. Perhaps they are upgrading your area currently. Also there are rumours of a new gateway being launched sometime in July, so if you can wait a week or two with the CODA then maybe the new gateway will help.

Personal opinion I would wait for @RogersDave to return to the forum to address these issues on the technical level. With the intermittent disconnects occurring in different modem models and latency spikes reported for the CODA-4582 with firmware version 2.0.10.27, I suspect that some changes may have occurred in the CMTS configuration. Unfortunately, we need Dave or an engineer from his department to look at these issues to determine what if anything has changed. So, I'd hold off for now when it comes to contacting the Office of the President. Again.... just personal opinion.

Same issue here. Didn't have it with a super old CDE-30364. Recently upgraded my plan and have had spikes, packet loss, and low speeds since then. I have swapped out the CODA modem for another. The only variable I can think of is that this new modem is DOCSIS 3.1 enabled and shows the cyan light. I've called support many times but they are unable to reproduce the issue. Every time there is a spike, I get the error "Lost MDD Timeout;" on the modem.

Disconnections everyday 150u package
I have been having this ongoing problems with rogers for quite sometime now, random times throughout the day my connection drops for about 30 secs. After many tech visits and modem swaps i don't know what to do anymore. If anyone could please explain what my modem logs mean i would greatly appreciate it.
The DOCSIS event logs is shown here

Rogersdave told me this issue was happening with other modems in the area and has not got back to me i think he just doesnt have the tiime

any help would be appreciated

So my issue was "fixed". I narrowed it down to the swap from DOCSIS 3.0 to DOCSIS 3.1. I asked the tech to swap my modem back to DOCSIS 3.0 and all is working well for me. I can do this as can still get 150mbps on the DOCSIS 3.0 connection - not sure what others need to do if they must be on DOCSIS 3.1 in my situation.

@Robleh can you log into the modem, navigate to the STATUS .... DOCSIS WAN page, copy the Downstream and Upstream tables and post them please? I suspect that the MIMO event might result in the modem going off-line, but the other No Ranging Response timeout shouldn't. It looks like those events all occurred at the same time, possibly as a result of the modem going off line, but, those events themselves shouldn't cause a drop out. Those indicate that the modem has requested a maintenance period with the CMTS, but, for what ever reason the CMTS has not responded within the allocated response period. So, the modem raises an alert and carries on. If those are the result of some other issue, the question is, what's the issue. Maybe the signal levels in the tables will indicate something unusual. Won't know till I see them. Even then, they might not indicate anything unusual at the point in time when they're copied from the modem.

Ok, your DOCSIS 3.0 downstream signal levels are all low. There is a high frequency roll-off above 750 Mhz which is typical on the Rogers network. The signal to noise ratios are ok. The Upstream signal levels are higher than I would expect for a modem that is running DOCSIS 3.1. That might indicate a noise issue on your cable line or in your area in general.
The fact that the DOCSIS 3.0 signal levels are low is irrelevant as the modem is running DOCSIS 3.1 for downstream data. But, that is probably an indication that the DOCSIS 3.1 signal level is low as well. The OFDM frequency and signal level data shown in the table is not correct, so, the only way to determine what the OFDM signal level and signal to noise ratios are, is to contact tech support. They have access to the correct data, so, for interests sake that is what I would do, determine if those values are within spec.
Fwiw, there are customers who are reporting less than acceptable service with the 4582 running DOCSIS 3.1. I suspect that this may be one item that Dave is working on. It would almost be an idea to have a DOCSIS 3.1 Enable / Disable switch on the modem for those who run into problems with 3.1.
So, there isn't anything glaringly unusual with the data, but, I suspect that there might be a noise issue afoot. Ask the CSR if the noise at your modem and in the area is ok, or if it happens to be higher than normal.
If you're running something less than gigabit service, it might be worth considering a trade in for a CGN3ACSMR or CGNM-3552, both of which only run DOCSIS 3.0. That might be a temporary solution to the problem.
