Issues with USB WiFi adapter?
I recently had Xfinity service installed for the first time. The Ethernet cable connection between the modem and my desktop PC doesn't work. To get around this, I am currently using a USB WiFi adapter, and the adapter plugged into my USB port on my PC talks to the WiFi in the modem a few feet away.

Since USBs are disabled on Xfinity modems/routers, how to add network storage?

Our new Samsung TV has stopped streaming with Xfinity.
The error message we see is TV APP00148 if that is helpful. Our other TV works fine, our phones are fine. We can also watch Prime and Netflix without problem using the Samsung. It looks like other users are having problems too. Is there a resolution?
