Updated service causes random disconnects

Recently you performed an update to the service in my area. Ever since then, I'll lose connection to the internet maybe 3 or 4 times a week at random times. According to the xfinity app, it says my router is offline, however I can still connect to my router via its app, as well as connect to the wifi on all of my devices, it just doesn't provide internet. When I reset my router, it works perfectly fine right away, until it disconnects maybe 2 or 3 days later and I have to reset it once again. The router is relatively new, still on the list of acceptable routers for my service, and like I said, I never had a problem with it until the service was updated. I've checked all connections and there's nothing loose, so I'm not sure why I'm suddenly having a constant issue with the service.

@user_9273b9 Thank you for reaching out to the Digital Care Team. I hate to hear this has been your experience. Have you used the modem only (no router), and experienced the same issue?

@user_9273b9 Thank you for clarifying. There are quite a few things that can be done to improve the connection. Here are some helpful tips: 1) release and renew the IP address by following these steps on an ethernet-connected device. Here are the steps: comca.st/3cZS2BS. 2) on Wi-Fi connected devices it can be as simple as forgetting the network name(s) and restarting the device. Please try these steps on any applicable device, and let us know if the issue continues.

This did not work. All of our devices are still having this issue. Twice over the past 4 days our wifi signal could be connected to but not providing internet. Resetting the router both times worked, but the constant disconnections are a nuissance.
