Default Re: Internet lulls on Comcast service high speed service

This has nothing to do with Comcast. When you are using WiFi, the signal from Comcast (or any other subscriber) stops at the router. After that it is between the router's antenna and your wireless antenna. If you have a weak router or you have dead spots between the router and your laptop you will suffer degradation. I would suggest that you move the laptop close to the router and check the signal and then move further away. The houses in TV use metal studs. That could be causing interference. You might need a booster.
