I need technical support

Hello XfinityAldrik,

thank you for your message.  The intermittent connections issues are occurring over Wi-Fi,on all devices that are on the upstairs level where the Xfinity router is, the main level where one laptop is, and the basement where our son's Xbox is. I am unsure if they lose connection at the same time, but I think so. We do not have xFi pods in the house any longer because the new ones would not connect to the Xfinity router/gateway. The old ones were working okay but then stopped working, but they were old.

I've tried everything I can think of to test the gateway/router, and when it tests, it appears to check out. Then it stops working. A few weeks ago there was an error message in the app regarding the gateway, and I followed the steps to clear the error, thinking that would correct the issue. It did not.

I'm basically at my wit's end. When I try to get someone on the phone, I can't. It keeps putting me in this perpetual loop of testing the gateway but has never once sent me to a person to speak to.

The chat function didn't work last night either, probably in part to the fact my internet fails every few minutes and we get disconnected.

Is there a way to get someone to come to the house? We've had problems in the past with the connection point inside the house where the internet and wi-fi split off. At this point, I don't care if I have to pay for this appointment. I need to get this fixed ASAP or I need to find a new vendor who will offer me assistance with a live person. Chat/AI does not fill the bill for all problems! We are paying so much money a month and our internet service is terrible. My husband is trying to run a business from home.

I really appreciate these details @annc12! Do you remember the error message that was in the app?

Our automated system is designed to send the first few troubleshooting signals to the modem and then offers a follow up alert to check if the signals were effective. If the issue is still occurring, it should automatically call you to connect you with an agent.

Thank you, Aldrik. I sent a message, per your request with the details you mentioned. 

the solution was twofold: our ourdoor connection was waterlogged, and was re-cabled to the house. And, I added an ethernet connection to our one desktop computer whose Wi-Fi connection wasn't working well. At some point the ethernet cord has been disconnected and Wi-Fi isn't a good option for that machine.
