Internet Keeps Goimg Out

It's happened 2 times in the span of 30 Minutes I've went through the xfinity assistant to try and solve the problem but it can't find anything wrong

Is this with a WiFi connection ? If so, as a test, does a computer / device that is hardwired directly to the router / gateway device with an ethernet cable have the same problem ?


With this test, we are trying to isolate this down to being either a WiFi-only problem or a problem with the general connection to the Comcast system which would of course affect both. It's a good first step in troubleshooting before proceeding any further.

It effects all my devices even my devices that are connected through an ethernet cable

OK, what do the modem's signal status values look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1 

Please copy all of the text in its entirety of the *Downstream Power Levels*, the *SNR's* (Signal to Noise Ratios), and the *Upstream Power Level* numbers and paste them into your next post.


What is the exact make and model number of the modem / gateway device ?

OK so the signal status values looked good at that snapshot in time. Perhaps there is intermittent noise ingress leaking into the line(s) / an upstream channel / return path impairment somewhere.


There are other signal stat values that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.


I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) who are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check for any real-time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant, and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and check those upstream receive signal stats.

You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Sorry. I escalated it. It must have slipped through the cracks..... I'll re-escalate it now.
