Camera not appearing on touchscreen

I have the new doorbell camera and 3 new cameras, but still the touchscreen that came with Xfinity home original equipment (~8 years or so) , the door sensors and motion sensor. Also the system has an additional router.

Problem is: none of the cameras have a preview and/or thumbnail on the touchscreen.

Questions:

- any idea what is causing the problem "Preview unavailable"?

- the cameras are connected to the XFi gateway (model XB7). Why is there the additional router. Might this cause the problem?

Thanks!

Hi ES2042 - thanks for reaching out!

If you are using a WNR1000 Security Router but now have an updated xFi Gateway like the XB7, there is a good chance that the Touchscreen is still paired to that Router, while your cameras are paired to the XB7 - which is causing the Touchscreen to not be able to "see" them.

It's likely you no longer need that WNR1000 router.  If you give us a quick call at 1-844-382-9363, we can assist with seeing about the potential for removing that Router from the mix and making sure the Touchscreen is paired up with the XB7 instead.  Note that this might require a technician to swing by to complete the process.
