Internet keeps disconnecting

My xfinity internet has been disconnecting regularly about 5-10 times a day in the last week or so. Previously never had this problem. I have gigabit internet, I've reset the router several times even shut it off today for about 4 hours to try and reset the IP lease, still disconnecting after that. This is happening both over wi-fi and ethernet connected devices. Happening while working, gaming, and streaming shows like netflix etc. Both my spouse and myself work from home as attorneys and cannot be having this happen during calls, not to mention how annoying it is when were using it for entertainment purposes. 

If anyone has any other ideas to try or has suggestions for other good ISP's I'm all ears. Thank you.

What do the modem's signal status values look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1 


Please copy all of the text in its entirety of the *Downstream Power Levels*, the *SNR's* (Signal to Noise Ratios), and the *Upstream Power Level* numbers and paste them into your next post.


What is the exact make and model number of the modem / gateway device ?

Hi, thanks for offering your assistance. I tried those links you posted, the first one just says the connection times out, tried several times no other results. The second one takes me to a page saying I should download the xfinity app, so I did, there doesn't seem to be anything in there for working out the issue other than a speed test, which doesn't really help because its not the speed Im concerned with its the disconnecting and lagging. 

I tried googling how to get modem's signal status values and it gave me more IP address sites similar to the ones you mentioned, that also just say the connection times out? 

The gateway says XB7-T on the back, is that the make and model? Its and Xfinity device.

Thanks for reaching out to us @user_nb3zw3! We appreciate you for trying the steps EG recommended. I completely understand how connections issues like this can be frustrating when they interrupt your work and when you’re trying to relax outside of work.

 

Because this happens multiple times a day on multiple devices using wireless and wired connections, I’ll need to take a deeper look at the signal levels and send some troubleshooting signals on my end. 

 

For reference, here’s our support article on troubleshooting Xfinity internet:
