VPN disconnects while working from home

Hello,

As Xfinity seems to be run only by automated [Edited: "Language"] at this point, I've not choice but to post here. I was recently given a new modem, being informed that Xfinity no longer supported my old modem or plan, and ever since I have had constant disconnects with my VPN while working. I need this to be resolved as soon as possible.

user_izdrfw Good afternoon! We appreciate you reaching out for assistance with your connection to our Xfinity Forums Team. Using a VPN for work myself, I can see how this would be frustrating. I'm happy to help. I'll need to gather a bit more information. Are any of your other devices loosing connection? Can you please share any troubleshooting steps you have already tried? This gives me an idea on where to pick up at.

@XfinityKassie​ No other devices are losing connection, even the laptop I'm using for work has connectivity when the VPN drops. Some co-workers says it may be an issue with what protocols Xfinity is using to communicate with the VPN itself that's causing the issues, as he had the same problem when he was using Xfinity. The VPN is GlobalProtect.

user_izdrfw Thank you for the additional details. We may need to have you work with your VPN team for assistance. Before we go that route, are you connected through Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

@XfinityKassie​ Connected via Wifi. But like I said, it's not a Wi-Fi issue, as I have regular connectivity. Of further note- I only started having this problem when I was forced to upgrade to a more modern modem.
