Xfinity disables 2.4Ghz on CAX30
My CAX30 will broadcast on 2.4GHz and 5GHz up until the moment I activate it with Comcast Xfinity, at which point I only have access to the 5GHz band. Admin controls say it is still working but none...

are you using smart connect?
Have you done a wireless scan using something other than windows?

I am not using smart connect. And I haven't done a wireless scan using something other than windows on the computers (I'm afraind I don't know how), but the android devices, the printer, and the smoke alarm don't see it either.
Thanks for thinking about it.

You can try doing a scan using inssider or any of the general wifi scanners that can be downloaded. there's quite a few of them. I use inssider or winfi

Thank you for this. With Winfi Lite, I do see the 2.4 GHz band is present. Though, I'm not sure how to apply this good news to getting my printer and smoke alarm to see it now the we know that it is actually there.
Do they have a Winfi equilivalent for old HP printers and Nest smoke alarms? (she asks optimistically)
