Internet keeps dropping at random times

Since last week, I've been experiencing random drops in my internet service that occur for 10-20 seconds then my internet reconnects. This has happened on any service I've been on, or just sitting at my computer doing nothing. Xfinity Assistant has not been helpful and I can't find the customer support number to save my life. Below are the recent times it has happened:

All times PST

9/9:
10:33 PM
9:00 PM
8:33 PM

9/10:
7:11 PM
12:03 AM

Can someone please help me and look into why my service is dropping like this?

After a few days, my connection has been stable throughout the days and no drops have occurred.  Speeds are all good and there are no other problems happening. So I think it's safe to say my problem is fixed and the issue was the bad connectors and modem upgrade. Thanks to Xfinity Support for their help!

Same issue here... My speeds are fine, and when I check on the app the router claims its running with no issues, but for me to even reconnect I have to restart my router.

I'm having the same issues as well. I only notice it if I'm running a live service such as an online game, or if I'm doing a voice or video call, it'll always disconnect and reconnect me after 20-30 seconds repeatedly. I've thrown everything at this issue and even had a technician come out and "fix" the problem, but the issue continues to happen. What can I even do at this point?

I’ve been experiencing frequent drops in my Wi-Fi connection on all my devices ever since I modified my plan. Several other customers in northern Colorado are reporting the same issue. I haven’t received any answers yet. This is my last attempt to resolve the issue before I visit the local dealer. If that doesn’t work, I will explore other options in the area. It’s frustrating to be on Zoom or Teams calls with this kind of service.

I posted on another thread, but you may want to try splitting the bands and dedicate 6g to your computer, put everything else on 5 or 2.4...it seems to have resolved my VPN issue..only been a day, but no drops

Latest update: Xfinity tech came out. He upgraded my modem and replaced some bad connectors in one of the electric boxes on site. This sounds like a likely cause and I will be monitoring this week to see if the drops come back
