Thanks for all the suggestions. My internet went out this morning, worked on it for 3 hours including 45 minutes with xfinity trying to resolve the issue. They finally gave up, earliest appointment was Saturday, wow being without internet for 4 days is a bummer. Went golfing this afternoon, got home and rummaged through my box of electronics. I found a surfboard modem and netgear 5g router, set it up and voila!, internet works, my lanai TV is not buffering, life is good again.
Everyone had great suggestions and I will return the Xfinity modem/router, I stupidly thought I would have less problems if I used their equipment actually the first time I did use an internet provider product. Regardless, the service to try to resolve the issue by Xfinity was fine, I was fortunate not to throw away my older modem and router and I CAN WATCH THE PACKERS THURSDAY NIGHT.
Again, thanks for the advise.
