My family bought an Arris S33 Modem and it just keeps randomly resetting and I’m confused by it, we changed the power source to an outlet but it still resets, we keep it cooled as well but it still resets. I’m completely stumped on why it keeps resetting and I need help resolving this issue.
Why does my Arris S33 modem keep resetting out of random?

Hi K0t,
Since your S33 keeps resetting all the time let me explain the basic difference between resetting and rebooting.
Rebooting is the process of turning off the device and then turning it back on again.
Resetting is where you do physical troubleshooting on the modem with a paper clip for 30 seconds.
Let's check the led light status of the modem :
If the light travels from blue to green to white (keeps fluctuating) then check the power cable if it’s not facing loose connectivity or try changing the power outlets.
If the light is Solid Blue / Flashing Green then let's check the cable signal levels :

Also do share the reading of the highest and lowest values of downstream channels (Power and SNR) and upstream channels (Power) ;
If you have any further questions or concerns let us know.
