Internet keeps dropping from 8-12pm each day and Xfinity cannot figure it out.

I have intermittent service (15-30 seconds) each day for a year. On 11/17/2024, my connection dropped, starting at 8 AM and ending at 12 PM. I was so annoyed that I visited the local Xfinity store, and the representative told me that she could not do anything other than replace the modem and send a technician. The technician came on Monday, 26 November, at 5 PM. He performed his test all over the house and determined that everything was working properly. The following day, at 8 AM, the connection dropped again. The connection drop repeats itself each day. Another technician was scheduled for yesterday at 5 PM. Of course, he was unable to assist because everything was working when he arrived. Today is the same story. I am frustrated that no one can figure this out, and the tech support I am getting, although professional and curteous, is from overseas, which complicates things as this is a signal issue beyond the home. Can someone from Xfinity help me, please?

Hi there, @user_19g5zk! Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum and sorry to hear about the connection trouble! Let's see what we can do to figure this out!  When the connection drops, what are you seeing happen with the lights on the modem?

It usually occurs between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m., but I have seen it go on overnight. The connection drops and the modem LED starts flashing yellow and then green. The process recycles. Yesterday, it did it for two hours only. It has been working for 24 hours. Chat agents blamed the cables in the area, but the three technicians who came to my house could not figure it out since it was working when they arrived.

Have you gotten the chance to look at the troubleshooting tips that one of our forum experts put together? You can look up the modem's logs and signal levels to determine if it is a signaling issue.

@XfinityBradM​ Thanks for the tips. After 12 days of online chats and four technicians visiting my house, it turned out that the street preamplifier was going out. I took the last two technicians to see the excessive resets to determine it was that device. Since then, I have had no issues with my connection.
