Check / replace the power supply. Also check your cable. If you have access to where the cable comes into your house, try connecting a brand new cable at the box and connecting to the modem. If that solves it, then you need to have the house cabling checked / replaced. If not, then there is most likely a fault with the modem. Do you have any friends with cable Internet you could check out the modem at their house? Maybe swap cable modems with them for a short time to see if the fault travels with the modem. If both work at your friends house and neither work at your house it is is a problem with charter and they need to come out and verify the signal strength if they have not done so. If the problem is intermittent, is it a particular time of day? Cable services theft is a big problem and somebody may be tapping in to the line causing signal loss.

If none of the above helps, post much more information and what you have done to solve the problem.

Best of luck, Jim

    I am having the same type of problem with my Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless Cable Modem. I also have charter. Started have this problem when Charter supposedly increased my connection speed. It seams that around mid day and on the weekends, my connection drops. I would think that noon and weekends are when most people are connected and volume is the highest... It my reconnect briefly, then drops after a minute or so and can continue to do this for hours. I have replaced all of my cable wire in the house with quad shield wire and have even added several amplifiers to increase signal strength and I am still having the same problem. I believe the the problem is with Charter's service......

Motorola DVR DCX3501-M loses power and guide info resets

We call it "flashing 8's" and a lot of things can cause it.

1st one of the signals that the cable provider sends to the box, we call it a "hit", will reset the box and tell it redownload
2nd I find dirty power (poor wiring, UPS or surge protector failing) can send the box spikes of power that make it think it recieved a hit.
3rd could be a problem with your cable signal. signal too high, yes it is possible to have too good a signal. maybe a bad amp in the alley behind your place or on your building. (any neighbors having trouble?)
4th maybe its a bad box.... gotta go bad sometime.

good luck

My modem keeps losing internet connection

Update your drivers and then do a speed test. Most isp send updates to the subscribers when they update, yours may not. Don't forget to check all of your connections before wasting time calling your isp. I trust this test the most. Rember you don't always get what you pay for.

Charter code

Charter communications is in the business of providing all the "code" you want. For a small fee of course. Your weapons are useless against them. You will not get it to work without them for under $250,000.00, and Motorola's permission. Sorry.

Losing connection

I assume this is a cable modem? You need to call your cable company and have a trouble ticket created. I worked for the cable company installing cable for quite a while and I bet my paycheck the signal getting to the modem are below specs and that's why the modem gets dropping the internet connection.

Hope this helps.
