Have them replace your cable modem for starters. |

I'm not super knowledgeable about modems but it's this... https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/6/21...urity-ces-2020 If you know anything about it that would be great. |
Could be that it isn't configured correctly.
Are you hard wired, or on wireless? |

If your modem has a built in wireless router, turn it off. They're generally junk. Have Comcast configure for modem/bridge mode and get your own router. That would be one other general piece of advice I could offer before getting more specific. |
I use both but yea it's the all in one, the thing about the printer is, it's wireless and it connects to one computer fine yet the other one no, even though it worked yesterday.
The way the entire thing works is entirely annoying. |

Some things to consider: If you're using 2.4Ghz, only use 20Mhz in a populated area. 40Mhz channels just can't work in a crowded environment and even if they aren't causing all of your problems, you're annoying the crap out of your neighbors. For your 2.4Ghz control channel, only use 1, 6, or 11. Don't use anything else as it increases the chance for signal overlap. If your wifi router has a Site Survey function, use it to determine which of the 3 is the least-used in your area. Obviously the best answer is to avoid using 2.4Ghz but I can almost guarantee that your printer uses 2.4Ghz unfortunately. I haven't seen many dual band printers. I can give you pointers on the 5Ghz side too but probably best to focus on one thing at a time (the printer). Too much tweaking and you won't be able to isolate what is working and what isn't. |
I hope you are not so stupid to think that a simple waterproof connection not being waterproof couldn't be the problem. You are responsible for inside your house and Comcast will test it up to that point for free.
You should log the time and dates when you are not getting acceptable service to be taken seriously. PS Buy the gig service Quote:

As to service, if you could read and comprehend, you would see above that I have ATT's gigabit fiber service. Get the advertised speeds, have no issues as I always did with cable with slowdowns, and am paying just $60/month all fees included. BTW, I did let Cox, who is the cable ripoff provider in my city, know times and speeds to no avail. They just pointed to the fine print. Cable internet SUCKS. Unless your provider is using fiber. |
So today my wifi printer works fine, I did nothing to fix this...makes a ton of sense.

Have you guys noticed the need to make your ISP switch your router out every so often? I wonder what type of life those things have until they started to act wonky. I've noticed lately my router (I'm a dumbass and rent it from them) goes down way to often. It's about 3 years old now.

On the recommendation of a very successful Audio-Video company that did some installations in my home, I switched to a Ubiquiti Wireless Router and a Ubiquiti Access Point for the fourth floor of my home. I haven't had a single issue since and both are 4 years old. |
