A7000 No Internet, secured
Just moved into a new home and got Comcast's xFi gateway for my internet.
No issues connecting to the network on any of myt other devices and even am able to connect old usb WiFi adapters and get my desktop online with them which leads to the issue being with the AC7000.
I can't find any solution on the internet for this that works. Anyone have a fix?

Is that the Windows network icon?
If so, that definitely suggests a Windows networking issue.
My first guess is that you may need to tell Windows that you are on a "private network".
- Network and Internet settings
- Network Status
- Change Connection Properties
- Network Profile

Likely to be a Windows networking issue.
