AC1200 Wifi Extender Can't Connect to Xfinity Gateway
Hello, I am having trouble getting my Xfinity Gateway (XB8-T) to recognize my wifi extender. Sadly, it was connecting fine with the old gateway model and I was upgraded for free and now can't get i...
I ended up ordering a new Wi-Fi extender, different brand and it was simple to connect and is working great. I can only assume something crapped out with the netgear. I didn’t want to go with the pods in case I ever change network providers. Luckily it worked at half the cost of the pods
There are EX6150v2 for under $20 on eBay, but delivery isn't like Amazon. (I spent a LOT more investigating a different issue. But if you intend to "move on", to a different solution there's not much point in getting one.
Are any other devices having problems connecting to the Xfinity gateway?
Are there any WPS settings on the Xfinity gateway that might be affecting the connection?
(or a forum on Xfinity where users discuss connection topics?)
There are no other devices having issue connecting to the gateway. As for the WPS settings on the Xfinity, i have no idea. I have logged into the Xfinity gateway app and looked around at my device settings but nothing stands out. And I have also logged into the admin settings of the gateway on the web using the ip address. Again, didn't see anything outside of Bridge Settings but I dont think thats what I want and actually BROKE it when i spent hours on chat support with Xfinity the first time I tried to fix this. I dont trust the xfinity support anymore as I was dropped from chat four times, and then they broke the gateway so nothing would connect anymore and I had to go to a store and exchange it for a new one.
