My router loses connection to network several times per day for several minutes at a time.  ISP Comcast says that problem is not with them. n This has been going on for several months, and I bought my modem/router as new this past May.

  • I can't tell you what to do. 

    There's con/pro's to both. 

    1. call comcast: if it is a line it could fix it. If the problems internal to the home or the modem, they can potentially charge for tech visits

    2. new modem/router. if its the line, the probably won't fix the issue. 

    3. rent one. con: costs $ but comcast is reponsible for making sure it works.

    do you have a screen snip of the cable connections page and logs? Those help check the signal back to comcast. they're great at saying "its not our lines" as a first response even if it is. 

    Do wired and wireless devices drop?

      I only have wireless.  Here are some snips that I took.  Do these help identify the problem?

        posted photos need to be approved by a moderator and that can take a while. 

        if you click on "choose file" and attach them, they can be viewed but its limited to 1 per post so you have to do each one seperate.
