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?

Firmware: V1.0.0.96_1.0.62 Recently updated
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

Xfinity device Technicolor CGM4140COM | Model number: CGM4140COM it is black and a slanted top side with a WPS button (lower left) and a light in the lower right corner.
No special characters in the SSID or password....
I did try to use the WPS option.... and it didn't seem to do anything different. Still no 2g band...
Thank you for the suggestions and help....
