Frequent Loss of Internet Connection

I've been a Xfinity internet customer at this location for 11 years. Over the past few months, we have been experiencing brief internet connection losses several times a day. The losses last a few minutes then everything is working fine again.

Our Internet Hardware:

  • Motorola MB8611 Modem. Installed in September 2023.
  • Ubiquiti USG-3P Security Gateway
  • Ubiquiti US-48-500W 48 Port PoE Switch
  • Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro wireless access points (3)

Our home is hard wired with CAT-6. Anything that can be hard wired is. 

Devices on which we are experiencing Internet connection loss:

  • Roku - Connected via LAN, Rack Mounted very close to switch, gateway and modem
  • HEOS Drive Streaming Audio - Connected via LAN, Rack Mounted very close to switch, gateway and modem
  • Apple TV - Connected via LAN, in Master Bedroom
  • Visio Smart TV - Connected via LAN, in Master Bedroom
  • Office PC - Connected via LAN
  • Office Laptop - Connected to docking station with LAN connection
  • Portable devices (iPhone, iPads) connected via Wi-Fi
  • etc....

I just experience a connection loss a little while ago, which prompted me to finally reach out for help. 

I logged into my modem to see if I could find any clues. It appears my Connection Up Time now reflects the approximate time since my last connection loss, suggesting the problem is between the modem and Xfinity.
