Intermittent Internet Connection
Hello,
I'm at a loss for what else to try! I've been having intermittent internet issues for about 4 or 5 months now where my internet disconnects EVERY DAY. My download/upload speeds are fast (they do not slow down), and then randomly my internet cuts out on both the ethernet and wifi (my laptop that is hardwired will disconnect and my TV, Alexa devices and cell phone disconnect too). For the last month I've been tracking what time the internet disconnects and there is no trend, but it happens 1 or 2 times a day. Usually it disconnects for about 1-5 minutes and then is back up. I work from home, so even a couple minutes offline is incredibly frustrating as I'm usually in meetings, presenting, and on camera. It disconnects randomly at 3:23pm or at 9:26am or at 5:00pm.
I've had several technicians come to my home just to tell me the wires and everything looks "good". I was even charged $100 for my last visit on 12/4/22 even though the issue is still happening! One of the techs suggested I purchase a new modem/router because my Motorola was getting old. October of this year I bought the Netgear Nighthawk and I'm still having the same issue - which makes me believe it's not the modem/router and I spent another couple hundred dollars for nothing. I've contacted Netgear, they've run tests and also say it's not the new modem, it's the connection, but no one can figure it out.
I've chatted and called Xfinity so many times with no resolution. They have tried to reconfigure settings and send signals. I try to call as soon as my internet cuts out, but by the time I have someone on the phone, it's working again and they can't see the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? Please help!

What model of Netgear Nighthawk do you have? Can you copy your event logs here? (Make sure to edit out any MAC addresses or other PII, first.)

I continue to loose internet connectivity on the weekends (the last 4 weekends) I loose connection every 2 or 3 hours & am really becoming upset! Fix your issues! I lost internet on Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Years, New Year’s Eve and this weekend, twice yesterday, FIVE times already today! I am VERY upset. Fix your servers! What happened to the forum???? Every time I try to go there I receive 1 “400 Bad Request “. MY son lives 4 miles from me and has FIREFLY and never has any problems with his connection. I CAN NOT wait to dump all my services with Comcast because there are so many problems.

You guys are not alone. We have had the same issues for the last couple of years. I am sure there are many others having the same issue. It's never fixed, and I agree with Stevix55, we are ready to dump Comcast.

I have the same issue after I replaced the modern to xFi Gateway that Xfinity rent to me, the the intermittent disconnection started to happen. I can't talk to Comcast's tech. supporting person. The on line chat only run the test, and telling me everything are fine, in the meantime the connection came back. But it will be dropped again, and it normally take a few minutes to come back.

I am having the same issue I had last spring, it lasted until September last year. A few times a day the internet connection drops, but I do not lose connection. This happens for about 30mins to an hour. Last year a line guy came around June or July and the internet worked perfect for a week and then went back. Please help! I need this fixed. People work at home here. I don't want to pay for more techs to come over and not fix anything. I am almost positive the problem is in the lines or a neighbor is surging something.
