R6700v3 connects to internet about every 60 minutes
Looking at my log I see that the router connects to the internet about every 30 or 60 minutes. I don't see any entries indicating that it lost internet connection. This doesn't seem to affect my TV ...
HI Guys,
Surprise. It looks like COMCAST has fixed whatever was causing the router to reconnect to the internet every hour. I haven't had any more reconnects since 15:00 yesterday.
Nothing changed here so I had to be COMCAST.
Cheers
Router log from the past 24 hours in the Seattle area attached.
Hey, this looks like something going on with Comcast. You are seeing the same problem I'm having. different modem and different router. The only common thing is we both have COMCAST. I wonder if there are other Comcast users out there that could check their router log? The only good thing is that it doesn't seem to be affecting service.

Guaranteed the answer to your question is yes. The activity is part of the Comcast infrastructure upgrade that is taking place all over the US.
If you have not seen this map, it shows where the upgrade activity has been completed. Click the gear icon on the right side to adjust your settings. Zoom in to your area. See attached.

Thanks for that info and the link to the map. Very interesting! I wonder, though what Comcast is doing on the network that causes the routers to reconnect to the internet every hour?
Cheers
