Internet drops when call comes in on cell
I've had Xfinity internet for years, recently switched to xfinity mobile approx 6 months ago. Within the past week, when calls come in on my cell phone, the Internet completely disconnects/resets? The light on the modem will turn red then flash green then go back to normal like nothing happened. Called xfinity, everything looks fine on their end, except that when I turned off the modem to troubleshoot customer service woman said she was still getting a signal (no idea how) and as soon as I unplugged the modem, the call dropped - she called right back, and says she doesn't understand why that happened as the phone and internet should not be affecting each other. Yet here I am. Nothing changed inside my home no new devices added no settings changed on either my phone or internet, etc. Can anyone help direct me to a potential cause and how to go about fixing it? Thank you!!!

Hello, Snickersnacks thank you for taking time to create a post. You've contacted the right place for support, I know if my home network was dropping when receiving a cell phone call I'd be reaching out as well. Xfinity Mobile and Xfinity Internet do run on separate signal, so it is strange your internet is dropping during this time.
I'd definitely like to investigate this further, and had a quick question:
- Is your cell phone using WiFi calling?
