Constant Packet Loss and Loss of Signal

Hi,
So i have a Vodafon Station DOCSIS home gateway and I have problems with my connection every day.
The home gateway is:

Technicolor CGA4233DE
Firmware version: 3.0.41-IMS-KDG

 

The symptoms are, suddenly the modem lose the signal and sometimes just completely restart. In the status page i checked the line parameters and it seems okay. (Every downstream channel SNR is above 40dB with QAM256 modulation and the rx power is below 5dBmV)

First I tried a factory reset on the device without success, then I changed it to bridge mode and installed a server to manage the router functions. Whit this the modem is not losing the signal, and didnt restart, but sometimes the uplink just hanging. I got a lot of tx error on the server, and when its occurs i cant even ping the default gateway of the connection with no route to host. After a few minute everything working again, but i have this problem every few hours.

My humble guess would be that the root of the problem is the modem itself. 
Since i dont really speak german I cannot call the technical hotline, so if a mod can send me a pm i would really appreciate

Thanks

I have set you an appointment for tomorrow 28.4.22 between 11 am and 2 pm. I have sent you a confirmation by email.

 

Fingers crossed that it will run better after the technician has been there.

 

Greetings Jana

So, the techician was here and he made some measure. He told me, that the problem is not in the house but on the street and they need a permission of the local government to fix the error. He also told me, that they will fix it on monday probably.
Regarding to my monitoring today around 8:20-30 they really did something because after a small disconnection the line was perfect. All the channels were synced, no packet loss and good speed.
But, and sadly there is a but... Around 13:30 suddenly all the traffic went down, the modem lost all the channels. Now i dont have any internet at all

Can you check the progress on the fault ticket? Is it done, or they will continue the work and this is just temporary?

Hello K3rN3lP4N1C,

 

unfortunately, the colleagues have not updated the order after 30.04. 😞 We can therefore not tell you the current status. The colleagues have changed a component in the street before. Your modem has been online for 4 hours. Usually the colleagues will contact you when they are done. So they can measure again at your connection.

 

Regards Fred
