Ethernet connection keeps cutting off ?

Eric B. 56322

Since the last two weeks, the ethernet connection keeps cutting off. It is getting worst the last week as I need to rebot the modem every time I want to use Ethernet, Otherwise, the ethernet is down. It seems like everything is ok as long as you use it (although I have seen it cut in the middle of a download), but it you let it idle for a while, the ethernet connection is lost for sure. The wifi is fine as I can alway reboot my model remotely. This is mostly very annoying, actually, not a workable ethernet service. It was fine for several months. There was a similar episode in the middle of the summer (not that worst as I only had to reboot once in the morning). But now, unless I go on the internet right away, if I reboot modem and try 10 minutes later, the Ethernet is gone.

Hello Eric,
Apologies for the encountered issue.
I have verified the modem on my end and there seem to be a few signals outside our functioning parameters. Please unplug the modem from the power outlet for 10 seconds and verify if the coaxial cable is tightly screwed in. Also, I suggest to perform a factory reset by holding the button on modem's back pressed for 30 seconds with a tiny sharp object. The factory reset button is located above the Ethernet slots.
If the issue still persists, if possible please test out with a different Ethernet cable in different sockets on modem's back and plug the modem in a different power source. A few more helpful tips can be found on the link bellow or the ones Lieux has provided.
