It drops out on everything, wireless. This problem only started when I attempted to stream and persists even afterwards. I've had two drops today and I won't be streaming for several days to see what happens. A tech is coming because they did see I had drops so I just hope they don't try and blame it on me

you're showing line issues.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, loose connections, foil touching the copper coax line, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
If you can, simply connect the modem right where the coax comes into the home. This prevents wiring in the home from being the issue. And some ISP’s charge if the wiring issue is in the home. So this helps prevent this.- Apollo30Aug 27, 2022AspirantYou can connect it straight to the coax from the home??? I could try that. So far since I spoke with xfinity I haven't had issues so lol
I'll try that coax trick
Everything else should be fine. I never had any issues for the two years I've had xfinity. Just when I got a new modem and wanted to try streaming xD
