XB8 upgrade causes the Xfinity Home doorbell to overheat and HomeSecurity Cameras to show offline on Mobile App not touchscreen

I just self-installed a XB8 Technicolor 2.0 as a swap from XB6 before. I setup a new SSID with different password. I am able to see the Xfinity Home Door bell and other Xfinity Home Security Cameras video fine on the couch screen control panel in the home. I am seeing two different things on the Xfinity mobile app on iPhone : 1. "Doorbell overheated" message while it is only 84 degrees outside. I have not seen that message even with 90+ degrees outside. 2. App shows the other security cameras as "offline" even though I can see their video on the touch screen. I called 1-800-XFINITY and followed the steps that the tech was able to perform but still no dice. They will send a tech to my home in a couple of days but wondering if anyone else saw an issue like this before?

Has anyone answered this issue?  My doorbell also shows overheating. No way to contact a technician at Xfinity.

Hi, @xfnt! Thanks for reaching out and for upgrading to the XB8. I can understand the concern with the home doorbell overheating and the cameras showing online since upgrading the modem. I am truly sorry to learn about this experience. We are the right place to go for help. I am happy to hear that we could send a technician as the next best step towards getting this fixed. How did that appointment go?

I have the same issue and I just installed it yesterday. And it’s not even hot yet!!! It’s 68F outside right now, early morning.

I should probably just return it and get something else

user_w1lq2r We would be happy to troubleshoot with you about the message for the doorbell being heated after setting up a new XB8. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it
