Unstable Connection

Hello, I am a new xfinity customer. I just moved into my new house two weeks ago. Within those two weeks my internet has been continuously dropping. Mainly on PS4 but now it’s started on my wireless tv as well. It seems to be losing packets as well. I’ve tried port forwarding and static ip. I have chatted with multiple agents and had a tech out last week. Still having the same issue and can’t seem to get anyone on the phone or chats to help. I’m getting very frustrated and am ready to switch isp. Any info is greatly appreciated!

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

With this test, we are trying to isolate this from 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 of troubleshooting before we proceed any further.

Ok. Start with the modem's signal stats. Perhaps they already are, or they are close to being out of spec and intermittently they go completely of spec. Try getting them here http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1

Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.

What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?

Is this a WiFi connection ?

Sorry, I’ve tried WiFi and wired. It drops on both.

Well the stats were all good at that snapshot in time. Are there any RF signal error / event log entries being shown ? If so, please post them as well.

O/k we've seen many posts here recently indicating that they have now blocked the end user from accessing the error logs in the Comcast supplied gateway devices. A BIG mistake in my opinion......

 

Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) somewhere.

 

There are other signal stat figures 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 that are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS to see whether or not everything is in the green zone, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and also see a history plot for the modem. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
