What is the proper/average operating downstream power level? My RF parameters from the status page read from -0.50 dBmV to 2.30 dBmV, the average being about 1.00 dBmV. Is this normal? It has been disconnecting frequently (2-3 times a night) and trying to diagnose if its this modem or my router or something else.

Power levels fluctuate, but anything between -8dB and +8dB is great. Modems should theoretically work with +-15dbmV, even though getting close to those boundaries can cause disconnects, etc. The closer to zero this value is, the better, and seems your modem is right where it should be. You can look at some of the other values, here is a FAQ that can help:
