Consistent connection interruption after area network "enhancements" made on 8/27

Hello,

My area (apartment complex) had network enhancements performed on 8/27. Since then, I am constantly unable to establish connections without it periodically dropping and picking back up.

Symptoms include disconnecting and reconnecting from Teams calls, disconnecting and reconnecting (within seconds) on video games, navigating tabs/websites and being stuck loading a certain page, unable to even sign into xfinity.com (tried incognito and regular browser). I have not experienced these symptoms when connecting to a local xfinity hotspot.

All of these issues are occurring on multiple devices, utilizing either ethernet or wifi (have tried 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands), so I've verified it's not an issue with any of my devices.

I have reset the gateway, had a xfinity engineer via the chat feature reset the gateway after submitting new refreshed signals. 

What's odd is this morning after I reset the gateway, unplugged the gateway, it was stable for the most part until 1 PM EDT.

I'm at a loss on what to do here. I can't even stay logged into my gateways admin page long enough to grab the logs before getting kicked out and having to sign in again.

Gateway/modem is an Arris XB7.

Connection speeds should be 800 MB/s.

user_george I know how important a working consistent connection is as a superuser who works from home. Let's look into your connection concerns together to get you up and running. Firstly, aside from the steps you have already mentioned have you also troubleshot using the Xfinity Support site? This is really useful for troubleshooting your connection to get back up and running.

I've gone through a number of steps there. Still issues after a week.@XfinityMarcus

I cannot overstate the frustration and inconvenience this is causing me. I cannot even navigate in the 10.0.0.1 admin page without being logged out after 30 seconds because the connection drops. This is beyond unacceptable and I've exhausted every online resource. I am not looking for more "online" troubleshooting, I need a tech who actually knows what they are doing to take a look. The last person I worked with over the app told me it was their VERY FIRST DAY. I need an experienced look at this.

Thanks. @Xfinity Support @XfinityMarcus
