Household Internet drops connection multiple times a day precisely at :00, :15, :30, or :45 of the hour

The Internet connection (1.2Gbps, Motorola modem, TP-link Wi-Fi) of my entire household (laptop, phones, TV, etc.) drops connection multiple times a day precisely at :00, :15, :30, or :45 of the hour.

The lapse in the connection usually lasts 2 mins or so, after which the connection will automatically resume.

We're usually patient enough to just wait for it to come back on, but sometimes when you're in a Zoom meeting or taking an online test, those 2 mins are quite unbearable.

Judging by the disconnect times, the timing is not exactly random.

Could this be by design?


Also, tried calling Xfinity customer service, never got anywhere.

Considering switching services now.

Ah hah!  I thought I was seeing timed or patterned outages as well.  Only, more irritatingly, my outages last 10 to 30 minutes...

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a similar issue, Shirtbird. What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? Did you try rebooting the modem manually or through the Xfinity App? Have you checked to see if there's an interruption reported in the area during these timeframes?

Hi there, @user_sva1y3! We are glad to further help with your service to get to the root cause of this. I completely understand how that can make a large impact at times. We want your service working great! Thank you for working with us so we can figure this out. 

 

Are you seeing drops at the modem or just the router?

When the service goes offline, does the power light for the modem change or does it stay solid?

How long ago did this begin?
