Thank you kind H-T folks who responded....I ended up calling "my guy" at Comcast who walked me through this loooong complicated procedure I would never have figured out.  I am compromised by living in a condo where, when I open my wifi connection, 15 choices are revealed.

I used to have issues with my T.V. locking up, having to reboot in the middle of a show.
I thought it was my t.v. “Visio” and the fact that I bought for cheap at Walmart….
My t.v. is 5 feet from my comcast modem…

I hard wired the t.v. and have no issues since then…..

I do on occasion have issues with other wifi devices and am thinking about disabling the WiFi on my comcast device and just buying a WiFi extender to work off of. I have used these in client offices without issue.

Hope this helps some….

No sure how accurate this performance map not supplied by Comcast is, but I have found it useful: http://downdetector.com/status/comcast-xfinity/map/ .

I’ve also learned that increasingly wireless devices at nearby neighbors, and perhaps other wireless devices in a the same building, obfuscate the signal. In the last two weeks, I’ve gone retro, hardwiring my workstations to the comcast modem, and so far I’ve had none of the past problems.

Are other folks having a problem with connecting?  I've heard some buzz locally about slow speeds.  I had it the last 3 weeks, finally re-set the modem, and lost my connection (doesn't appear) to wifi. Because I get all "Amy Schumer-y" at the prospect of calling Comcast, I would appreciate H-T help in how to solve what, for most of you, might be a simple problem.
Thank you.
