I have purchased a brand new SURFBoard SB8200. But lately i have been having several interruptions on my connectivity, where it seems the modem reboots itself. This is causing me a lot of issues I am running my own business, and multiple occasions this reboot, interrupted my zoom session (this is not professionals), it does not reflect well on my Company.
Please advise why this is becoming an issue.

What do you see in the Event Log when this happens? It can be caused by the ISP. If so, it typically requires reaching out and having them reprovision the modem.
How are your signal and signal to noise levels on the Status page?
With a little more information, some helpful suggestions may be possible.

I’d agree with
Thank you
Current Setup:
SurFBoard8200 → PFSense FW → Cisco Switch 2950
As a side Note: Recently about a week or so, because of losing connection's persistent i called my ISP and after testing they found out that there are some noises and errors and they fixed. However, it seems i continue to get these issues.
Here is the logs from Event Log
I see some sync and discover failures during the time when the device was rebooted, I really appreciate any pointer.

Thanks for sharing!
Can you show us what your current upstream and downstream levels are from the Status screen? The event log shows a wide range of communication errors, and we can see the modem restarting after a series of T3 timeouts. I suspect you still have some signal issues. The Status screen will help us ensure the appropriate channels are locked, as well as provide insight into the uncorrected error rates.

Thanks for sharing! From what I see, your signals levels all look good as do the Signal to Noise ratios. Arris would probably specify that your upstream power levels are low, but those numbers are consistent with many ISPs. You are not showing any uncorrected errors, which is encouraging.
The fact that you have two locked OFDM PLC channels down and an OFDMA up suggests you are on an upgraded service. By chance, are you with Cox and in the Phoenix or Los Vegas area? Some of the folks over on the Cox forums have noted challenges as Cox rolled out those upgrades. The upgrades have not occurred where I am.
At this point, I don’t have any helpful suggestions. Just for convenience, you might want to do a hard reset on your SB8200 now that your ISP has taken care of some signal issues. That’s the only way to clear the event log on an SB8200, and it will make it a little easier to see exactly what is happening currently. You’ll just want to go in and change the password after you do it since it will go back to the factory default of the Serial Number. I did that when I was doing some troubleshooting that all turned out to be temporary CMTS errors.
I will take care of your recommendations, I do appreciate for all your help.
Thanks,
I have had countless issues for quite some time with cox in the Scottsdale area where the SB8200 would reset 8-10 times a day and it would take 1-3 hours to get back online. (I should mention I have unlimited gigablast service using upwards of 2TB of data a month.).
I replaced all the hard line connectors and tested the hard wire connection from the D-mark (outside box where cox comes in) to the connection to the modem. I still had issues after this so I logged into the modem and activated link Aggregation, the system will reboot after this.
It's only been a week and I've only had to reset the modem one time but it was Back up in minutes.
