user_86p6r2 Thanks for posting on our community forums. I'm sorry to hear the connection has been so unsteady. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far? Did you try rebooting your modem manually or through our Xfinity App? We also recommend you check the coaxial connection on both ends (modem and wall plate). To make sure the connection is tight and there's no damage to it. Is that the case?

Thanks for trying those steps, user_86p6r2. We did upgrade from a Docsis 3.0 to a Docsis 3.1. It's most likely the reason why the signal is dropping. You can check our compatible devices here. We highly recommend you upgrade the device to Docsis 3.1.
