Is there still no way to split the 2.4 and 5ghz bands?
I've tried going into the gateway and disabling the 5.0 one but then all my internet disappears and I cannot find the 2.4 anywhere on any of my devices... I've been trying to connect my smart lights for about 4 hours now and just finding out that the main reason why I'm being blocked from connecting them is an Xfinity error and not something I was doing wrong is extremely infuriating and I just hope we can figure out a fix before I have to start researching my own modem and ditching the corporations always tryin to fix things that aren't broken.

The default is for all the bands to share the same SSID. However, in the Xfinity app on your phone you can select to split bands. This allow to give a different SSIDs for each band. That way you can select which band your devices connect to.
This is how I have done it with my Xfinity XB8 Gateway. Note this router has 3 bands 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz.
