Daily Gateway Resets

  • As a prelude, I should note that I have dealt with Xfinity CS multiple times over the last week with the same result: being told it was fixed on the backend (no indication of what was fixed) and it has yet to actually be fixed. I had a service appointment canceled because CS told me it had been escalated and fixed on the back end. 

    The problem: My Gateway (XB8) resets around 3 am every night and takes upwards of an hour to complete whatever it's doing. During this time, my VOIP phone, television and automated systems (Google Nest and Hue Light system mostly) go off line.

    As mentioned above, I have had the system remotely analyzed and it has been found to be OK. Additionally, there have been no local outages reported that match to the times I see. A technician call was scheduled but cancelled when told it was fixed on the back end. It was not fixed. I initiated a second ticket which was passed to an escalated team and I all I got was a text saying it was fixed -again, it was not fixed.

     A few things:

  • What it the assumed root cause of this daily interruption of service? Clearly the service team thinks they know what is wrong and think they have fixed it.
  • I would like a detailed explanation. My assumption is that this is either a known flaw in the device or an automated process that is being initiated on the backend.
  • I would like to speak to someone who can discuss this issue with me instead of ghosting me and closing the service ticket without verifying the fix.
  • Until this is resolved, I would like my bill pro-rated to reflect the daily down time. I pay for 24-7 internet

I am grateful I have not taken advantage of the Xfinity home security systems. Imagine having a security  system that goes down on a daily, predictable timeline?

Thank you for reaching out @user_dczixy It sounds like updates happening on the modem but it should not be daily. Have you swapped the modem or had a technician out for a visit? I also wanted to make sure you are aware that any time you need to troubleshoot our Xfinity app can assist you step by step. It is not just to pay your bill or to get notifications about interruptions. To learn how to troubleshoot in the future you can follow the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/using-xfinity-app. Honestly, it is the best app to date that we offer and super easy to use for all of your account needs!

@XfinityDena​  I have spoken to CS already and had a technician scheduled but had it canceled by an escalation team who claimed they fixed it on the backend. Clearly they believed there was a reason for this behavior that is not specific to the device. I have gone through the trouble shooting guide. You are offering me the first tier services and steps that I have exhausted. Thanks, but this issue is a bit beyond that point.

What I really need is someone at Xfinity who knows what the problem is. I've seen other posts with the same problem and surely this is not a new problem. I have hit a dead-end with CS and would very much like to speak with a human being with specific expert knowledge that will help fix this problem.
