Ok, it appears that your outroute is DVB-S after all, so the missing statistics line is a non-issue. And your receive signal level (SQF) is indicated as pretty solid anyway, so it's looking like a transmit issue.
Ordinarily I'd next have you tell me the ACP/isolation validation numbers, but I noticed you used the letters BW in your text. I've been told their NOC is not equipped with this capability. So you'll have to contact Bently-Walker direct, and ask them to check the isolation on your inroute.
While you're waiting for a response from BW, we can move on to the TX/RX Error statistics and Diagnostics Codes. Browse back to https://192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html and open Transmitter/TxMonitor. Look at Total Tx Outage Time. Below is a list of the TX Error codes that constitute the cumulative downtime. Note the error codes that occurred most often, and how much of the Total Outage was attributed to those codes.
Similar info can be found under Diagnostics/Expert/General/Diag Codes. By themselves, they mean nothing. But one more line down on the directory tree is the Diag Code Analyze. Copy and paste any codes (other than 0000-0000-0000-0005) you want read into the Analyzer. The short side to the Diag tools, is that it's not a very deep archive - none are older than 3 hours. If you want a 24 hour snapshot of the statistical collection, look at Diagnostics/Hourly History.
Not that looking at the error or diagnostic codes will in itself fix anything. But they're clues that might lead us into the right direction. Oh, one other thing. Many of the statistics unfortunately zeroize when the modem is restarted or powered down. This is one of several reasons to keep the modem running 24/7. With a few statistical exceptions, the longer the modem runs uninterrupted - the more diagnostic data is available.
