Quality and reliability of internet is poor

Since April my internet keeps freezing for 5 seconds and dropping during video calls. 

I would like a tech to review my signal strength for internet and equipment. The frozen calls and dropping of internet is getting worse.

I will switch from Xfinity if this does not get addressed by a live human.

First. 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.

@EG​ This is a wifi connection. I am in a  brand new building and the router is built into the front coat closet. My apartment is not big and I am sitting across from the router without interference. I do not have an ethernet cable to test this nor is the router in a place that is convenient to do so. This is XFINITY installed equipment
