It happens when watching live sports, 15 times during the Packer game. The signal needs to travel only 4 feet through an insulated wall, I tried a wifi booster/extender and that did not help. Is the Xfinity combination modem/router that poor?
One other solution is using Ethernet over Power lines. This is where you plug your router into an adapter that plugs into a power outlet. At the TV side, there is an adapter that goes from the Ethernet on the TV that plugs into the outlet.

I use it and it works very well.
