Lag spikes across all devices on the network all at the same time.

Around a month ago, I started having odd lag spikes on my computer, they would happen consistently across all devices at the same time every 10-11 minutes or so.

There would be around a 5 second period of lag, then a few seconds later, another 5 seconds of lag, and then another 10-11 minutes would pass before the next lag period. 

This has been consistent for a month now and many possible solutions all failed (restarting router, gateway, updating devices, moving router, using different ports, etc.)

I have completely run out of options and am posting this here. At the time, the Xfinity assistant is failing to give me a call with a real Xfinity agent.

user_ep4lra Hello, are you still experiencing service issues?

These issues are still happening, same consistency of around every 11 minutes or so. 

Since then I've tried a few other possible solutions which then failed, like unplugging all network equipment and giving the modem time to rest. 

I also had a thought that the modem might be overheating, but upon giving it a cooler environment and less strain on the traffic going in, the issue stayed the same.

That is the account holder. Unfortunately the account holder has to authorize you on the account or request the tech visit.

Last update on this issue before the in person appointment. 

I wanted to see if the problem is coming from the gateway hardware or the coaxl cable and upward from there.

After the lag happened, i started a timer and restarted the gateway by unplugging it for about a minute.

Upon giving it power and waiting for connection, I waited another few minutes for the 10 minute interval to happen, and it did not lag at 10 minutes.

It lagged 10 minutes after the gateway went online, so my guess is that its a faulty or malfunctioning gateway and would need to be replaced.
