    What firmware is on it? 

    What router are you connecting it to? 

    did you set it up using the wps push button method of setup?

      It is an xfinity router- 

      I have set it up using the online setup (genie).  I haven't used the WPS method ever. 

      Thank you!

        What xfinity router is it? 

        Are you using any special characters or spaces in the ssid/password? If so, try removing them. 

        You can also try using WPS. I'm a fan of the installation assistant but sometimes wps works well
