Internet keeps disconnecting

My internet disconnects randomly throughout the day. It all started when I had an Xfinity supplied modem. I was on the fence about turning my Xfinity modem in and getting my own modem and router, so it seemed like a good time to make the switch. I now have a Motorola MB8611 modem and a TPLink AX11000 WiFi router. The disconnecting is still occurring. It is happening more and more often. I did some diagnostics with my setup. I have done the following:

1. I have removed a signal splitter from the wiring setup (Now the cable coming into my house goes directly into the modem). The coax cable goes directly through the floor, so there are no behind the wall connections.

2. I have shut off and unplugged my WiFi router. (Taking it out of the network setup.)

3. I replaced the ethernet cable I was using with a brand new ethernet cable. (The cable now goes directly from my modem to my computer.)

4. I have gone outside and cut back any branches that could have come in contact on a windy day with the coax cable going from the pole to my house.

5. I have checked all the connections in my set up for tightness and corrosion. (All connections are tight and no corrosion found.)

6. I have checked the coax cable from the Comcast box on the lower part of my house all the way to where it connects to my modem. There are not kinks, cuts, or abrasions in the line.

7. I have talked to my neighbors and none of them have internet disconnect issues. Here is the event log:

Hey there @The13thpaladin, thanks for joining us here in the Xfinity Support Forums. I appreciate you providing all the information posted here--looks like you've done some extensive testing and troubleshooting as it is, so let's dig in based off that.

 

From what you're describing it sounds like there is connection issues both on Wi-Fi and using an ethernet connection--just to clarify though, is the ethernet connection going into the modem or the router?

 

Additionally, are the disconnects truly sporadic or are they happening more frequently at certain times?

Hi,

I have the coax cable (that comes into the house) going into the modem. I had an ethernet cable going from the modem to the WiFi router and then another ethernet cable going from the router to my computer. I have taken the WiFi router out of the equation by shutting it off and unplugging it. I now have the ethernet cable going directly to my computer from the modem.

The disconnects are sporadic. Sometimes I can stream an entire movie with no disconnects at all. At other times I will have two or three disconnects just trying to stream a half hour show. Just last night I was on the computer for about two and a half hours with no disconnects, but tonight I had two disconnects within a half hour. I mainly use the computer/stream after work on the weekdays (from about 6PM to 10PM). On the weekends I use the computer/stream off and on all day. I see disconnects on both weekdays and weekends at various times.

Thank you for that additional information--every little bit helps, especially when it comes to these intermittent types of issues. Let's go ahead and take a look at the account and device on the back-end, I can also check to see if there were any issues reported in the area over the last few months. Once we've uncovered more details, we'll circle back here on the thread and provide the resolution in the event anyone else runs into the same issue in the future.
