I bought the G34 about 1½ months ago but was not installed until moving to my new house
on March 1st. Since then WiFi drops consistently and when dropped I can not even
access the modem using a computer attached by Ethernet.
I need to exchange this for something that works.

View originalIn this case we would suggest you to check the cable signal level to isolate the issue because
There are some important things that should be within a specific range in order for the internet to work properly.
First, the SNR should be above 33 on all of them. The downstream power should always be between -15 and +15. The closer to 0 the better connection. Finally, your upstream power should always be between +45 and +51
On all of those values you should not have more than 3 decibels (or dB) between the lowest and the highest
By having the values in less than that, your device will have interrupted connection, slow or no connection at all.

While the indication I sent was intermittent internet, that was because there was nothing
to indicated drops WiFi. This modem consistently drops WiFi connections, devices attached
via Ethernet still have access to the Internet.
That being said when the WiFi drops the modem/router is not accessible even for computers
Ethernet attached. I believe this modem is defective
FYI Spectrum checked my SNR levels and indicated they were fine and within spec.
Since you are experiencing with Wi-Fi intermittent internet connection, I suggest you to change the Wi-Fi channels and monitor it for next 24hours of time.

I have changed channels, I have a WiFi spectrum software on one of my android
tablets and found an unused channel with no overlapping users. This change did not resolve
my issues. I see on the forum that there are a lot of complaints regarding this same issue
and have followed all of the suggested changes with no results.
Have you tried to re-provisioning the modem with internet service provider?

Yes I have even though that would have nothing to do with losing WiFi, all Ehternet
devices maintain internet connection, al least until I reboot the modem to get WiFi back

There is no best answer, this G34 modem is absolute junk when it comes to WiFi,
You are lucky if it works for a day. The only way I found to resolve the issue is to turn off the WiFi and then install a WiFi router.
