Your router isn't on the internet(I hope). There might even be a sticker on it with the IP and default admin credentials. When you get shitty service, login to it and see what the router thinks of the connection. There will be downstream power and snr. The logs should explain why you don't have a connection.
If there is no sticker, google(when you have service) the model number. Given it's a popular service's router, I bet you'll be able to find how to log onto it.

If the admin tool is something you're clicking on the router's webpage and that's timing out, I guess that means shitty router?
Not uncommon for ISPs to underspec their hardware since most customers will not push the limits. You might consider buying your own modem and router for that reason.

yup, back in the day I used a Motorolla surfboard for that. I liked good internet for gaming so I always did my own. I worked for AT&T among other people, and the gateways, even the set top boxes were just utter trash sometimes. Terrible backplane, not enough processor for alot of connections, etc. Time warner used old shit without latest docsis when speeds started going up and was always a pain to get it upgraded out here.
Note, I assume they are still good but I get straight ethernet now, no more modem:

Are you hardwired into the router when trying to connect to admin page (http://192.168.1.1)? It could be a wifi setup issue.
You could possibly try to factory reset it, but you may need to then manually set up some various options to get it to connect back to their network. There should be info on what it would take to factory reset your particular router on Xfinity Reddit or some YouTube channel, if you search by the router make/model.

Disney pulled 4 channels from Verizon unless you are on the top tier TV plans or have it as a separate package. There apparently was some errors where even if you are on the Ultimate you have to call customer service and get someone from India to fix it for you.
Also their existing old STB boxes will be phased out Apr 2026.

Anyone on Xfinity Next Gen stuff? I just upgraded to their 2gig/300Mbps up tier. I'm getting the download speeds but upload is still stuck around 40. Using a Motorola MB8611 for my modem. Grabbing an Ubiquiti UCI later to test that. Anyone had any luck getting their faster upload speeds working?

almost 25 years after moving to Cali..
Getting fiber in a few weeks, they have been slowly rolling it out, as they said, "Selling access as they run the trunk up the hill."
No more Starlink/Mobile Hotspotting(It has been great.. but if you need to send/receive data fast it has major problems.)
At least I didn't upgrade my Starlink equipment I have been thinking about it the past few months.
I'll buy a Ubi instead.

Verizon FIOS. They sent in the mail that they will take 25 dollars off my bill no questions asked. I went to their chat.
I was paying 90 bucks for 1 gig service. There really looks to be no catch. Looks like anyone qualifies as long as your bill is paid.

I was in one of those towns that Comcast was the only provider allowed because of corrupt fucks. FINALLY that ran out last year, and Verizon jumped on it. With Comcast my monthly bill for 1 gig was 130 bucks. Soon as I went to swap, they dropped it down to 90 to match what they knew Verizon was offering.
Verizon FIOS. 250 gift card. Meta VR set. Now 25 bucks off a month.
Amazing how a little competition works...

i actually still have verizon now, in the form of 5g home, it's a huge cube antenna works great cuz theres a 5g antenna across the street, it's also discounted cuz we still have verizon as a phone service bundle, if you have verizon phone you should see if you get a bundle discount too, if not already.
and yea it works better than the shitty comcast i was using here for 6months

The cost of fiber has really dropped. I am paying about that for AT&T fiber to the home (with veteran discount). No 1 yr special or anything, its just the price.

Got my FiOS down to $39.99 with my veteran discount, and this new $25 promotion a few weeks ago.

Paying $79.95 for 1g u/d here from the local power co-op. $64.99 sounds competitive.
