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?
I had this exact problem with my lanai TV after I installed a new TV. Found that I had accidentally connected to the 2.4 GHz frequency, not the 5.0 GHz. Switched to the 5.0 and problem solved.
