No ipv4 connection but ipv6 works fine.

New customer and new service. Got everything activated and the Xfinity app tells me everything is working fine. Websites like Google and YouTube load along with the videos on those sites but it seems I have no connection to anything that uses ipv4, my computer reads that there is no IPv4 connection but the connection to ipv6 is working as it should. I can however use the Xfinity hotspots without any issues so I know it's not any of my devices that are causing the issue but the modem/router I was sent by xfinity. The troubleshooting on the routers default gateway also reflects this as a problem with the router not receiving packets from ipv4 sources. I have an appointment with a tech set up for tomorrow already, but any help or fixes would be appreciated.

Hey, @Jhaesler1. Thanks for posting on our community forums. Did we determine a tech was needed for this issue? What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far? Did you try rebooting our modem manually or through the Xfinity app?

Yes. I've already called and had the rep on the phone run whatever tests they needed to and still the problem persists. I actually had an appointment with a tech yesterday but when I got the text that the tech was onsite, they were nowhere to be found and the appointment was then canceled and rescheduled for today. So right now I'm trying to figure out as much info as I can and hopefully fix the issue myself or at the very least be able to better explain what issues I'm having.

Thank you for the details, I do see here that there is an ongoing interruption in your area that is affecting your services, before we can troubleshoot we would need to wait for this to be resolved as it is possible things are fixed once service is back up. Would it be ok if I follow up with you then? I show things should be cleared around 1AM.

@XfinitySheila​ but that's just it.... I've already spent hours on the phone with troubleshooting as well as hours on my end to make sure it's not an issue with any of my devices. It seems that the gateway is blocking ipv4 connection at the modem level. I'm not sure any more tests Xfinity support can run will even do anything at this point. And 1am on top of these random calls I keep getting from Xfinity support, and being blown off by the tech yesterday are really trying my patience. I'm not sure why there isn't an easy way to just reactivate ipv4 connectivity or just allow me to go to the Xfinity store and try with a new modem/router as I believe its the modem/router that isn't allowing the connection. This has honestly been a big issue especially since now I have a bill coming up for a service I'm not even able to use properly.

@XfinityChelseaB​ I've had an open chat with Xfinity support but I've gone ahead and resent my issue to Xfinity support.
