"Detected high PL towards NQM probe destination"

To correct high packet loss (PL):

Eliminate interference problems: Distance your modem from electrical devices
Do not coil up any excess signal or power cables.
Check the statistics counters of network nodes to determine where loss is occurring. Typically, each node in the network has a packet loss counter. Isolate the network segment where loss has been occurring.
