Packet loss every day at a certain time

Every night at about 8pm to 9:30pm I experience extreme packet loss. I'm looking for an explanation., I've restarted my router multiple times. Why is this happening

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.

That is definitely not what we would hope to hear @user_5k329k. If you are still experiencing that packet loss issue send us a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service and we can look into that for you.

   The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

   - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

So to clarify. You are saying that this happens via both ethernet and WiFi connections ?
