[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1626352, member: 331386"] I can fix this. And your not going to like it.. Comcast went to a new modem and i take it you have it installed correct??? if so your in trouble see the new comcast modem also works as a wireless hotspot without your knowledge the modem starts broadcasting a free wifi access point off of the internet you pay for so basically someone else is accessing your wifi and you have to many devices accessing the wifi at once which is causing your beach ball issues and the connection lost issues as well. what to do. well right now there is a class action lawsuit being brought against comcast for this little dirty trick the new modem not only broadcasts a hidden channel it gives comcast employees free internet from any house with comcast internet sounds unfair considering you pay for it it should be yours and yours only. if you want to know more theres a news story on it from this link: [url=http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2014/12/10/comcast-sued-xfinity-hotspot-network]Comcast sued for using home routers in hotspot network - AfterDawn[/url] basically the illegal wifi access limits your connection speed by decreasing bandwidth by 5 mb per second so if you think your getting 11mb pre sec your not [/QUOTE]
