R6900P continues to reboot cannot connect
I have an Xfinity wireless gateway. Do I need to connect the R6900P with an ethernet cable to the Xfinity box? Or can I do it wirelessly? If I can do it wirelessly, how do I go about doing it? Right now I can connect my computer to the R6900P, but I can't get any internet. Is that because I'm not connected to the Xfinity box with an ethernet cable?
Hi awk409ak,
If you want the Xfinity to manage the network, you can set the R6900P to wireless bridge.

Note: Wireless bridge will no longer broadcast wireless network for R6900P.
