multiple short term disconnects each day. New Xfinity router did not help.

I am seeing multiple disconnects for one or two minutes over the course of the day, to the point where i created a PowerShell Script to simply try to Test-Connection to googles 8.8.8.8 server every minute, and log if there was a failure.

these intermittent outages interrupt meetings, teams chats, connectivity to Remote desktop/vpn sessions, and more.

I called customer service, and they apparently don't have access to logs to review the deeper details.

They were able to connect to my modem remotely, see it is up, and reboot it, without any effect. I took my current router to my local Xfinity store and they swapped it out for me with the latest version. since that swap out, i still see the same pattern of disconnects.

can anyone tell me some next steps to diagnose or get an resolution? to me, it seems outside of my network.

tracert 8.8.8.8

Hey there user_yhyi3y. I work from home, so can certainly understand the importance of a stable connection without a doubt. Have you had a chance to visit the link our expert @EG has shared? Do you have our Xfinity App? If so, have you done any of the troubleshooting through the app yet? Please let us know. We are happy to assist you.
