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?

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)
