Inconsistency on my wifi as of the last 2-3 weeks or so

My wifi has been inconsistent as of late.  I usually get 1g to my laptop.  As of late, it will appear to lose throughput.  I've seen it drop to 10mb.  As a result, I can't connect to web pages, hold zoom or Amazon Chime calls.  Outlook disconnects.  Slack does at times too.  So, I would love to blame it on my recent laptop upgrade to Windows 11, but running ookla Speed Tests from my iPhone (from the same 6 feet from the router) shows similar performance issues.  This morning, using the automated chat feature, Xfinity said "your connections are not normal, let's reboot your router".  things worked okay for a couple hours.  Other times, when it runs it check -- sometimes I struggle getting to the chat page - so when it runs, then it comes back fine... and at the same time, my phone seems fine again.  So, multiple wifi devices, different OSes (Win10, Win11, iOS) ... different times of the day...  router might be 6(?) months old.  They replaced  it - but I've had the high bandwidth to the house since 2010.  All of sudden I'm now having problems.

Thank you for reaching out and creating a new post. I understand you are having some network issues, and it seems to be affecting your laptop. I get that your speeds fluctuate, and your various applications drop/disconnect. Addtionally, you stated it's affecting other devices at different times of the day. I can certainly see how this would be confusing and frustrating. 

I see we have plans set to come out, which is great. That said, we can help troubleshoot in the meantime. Have you had a chance to check your power levels at home? If you run a speed to gateway test, versus a traditional speed test, how are your results?

I'm traveling at the moment, so am unable to do testing before the tech comes out.  However, I did see an interesting post about Win11 systems and using WiFi6 to get to Pods.  I'm going straight to my router, but the behavior on my HP laptop is consistent with the post -- except I've also seen performance deteriorate on my iPhone & it is on the router.  [https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/issues-connecting-to-comcast-xfi-pod-after-windows-11-update/67db604267ee1e66469e2011] (I can't recall precisely when it began, but I believe it was before I did my Win11 upgrade).  I've rebooted the laptop & the router.  I am suspicious of the router.

I hope you have fun out there, Princess-in-Broomfield! I checked the signal levels to your home and the area. Everything looks good. With you already going through troubleshooting steps with our agents, it is best to have the technician out from here. Nothing is sticking out as the root cause of this problem. If the router is the problem, they can replace it while they are there. Whatever it takes. I will check back with you here after your visit to see how it went.

I rescheduled my appointment, so that I could spend today troubleshooting - but the tech came anyway.
After fiber coupler replaced (standard operating procedure) and replacing the router, I did more testing.

Seems more stable.  But, dropped connections still occur on 6G.  6G is still not stable - but connections remain longer.  So, I saw 1.1Gbps down and some 700Mbps and 800Mbps, then it dropped.  Connections from my iPhone were 600-700Mbps, then eventually dropped to 100Mbps.  

To continue working today - I've dropped my Windows 11 networking to not use 802.11ax - so far, I've had a 20 minute zoom call without dropping.  

The tech was also going to create a ticket.  (Last night when I was working with an agent on reschedule, she mentioned that someone would check with me before the tech comes out - didn't happen yesterday... don't know if my appointment for tomorrow is still on the schedule)

Also, I checked my logs - and I started experiencing problems before upgrading to Windows 11.  (and the problems persist after the Windows 11 drivers and my HP BIOS updates)
