user_0dyhc0 Hi there! If your remote isn’t working and you’re looking to unpair or reset it, here’s a quick way to do it depending on which Xfinity remote you have (like the XR11, XR15, etc.).
Here’s a simple reset that works for most Xfinity remotes:
Press and hold the A (triangle) and D (diamond) buttons together until the LED light on the remote changes from red to green.
Once it’s green, press 9-8-1. The LED should blink blue twice—this means your remote has been reset and unpaired.
After that, try pairing it again:
Point the remote at your TV Box, press and hold the Microphone (Voice) button, and follow the on-screen instructions to re-pair it.
If the remote still isn’t responding at all (no lights, no reaction), it might just be time for some fresh batteries—definitely worth a quick swap!
If you have any issues, please let us know, we are here to help!
user_mkccui, Thanks for letting us know. I am sorry to learn about this experience with the remote still not working. Would you mind unplugging the set-top box for 30 seconds and plugging it back in to see if you experience the same issue?

Thanks for trying those steps, user_x6i3tu! Did you also try to reset the TV box? (Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds and plug it back in.) Are you seeing lights on the remote as you press the buttons or is it not lighting up?
