I agree with @EG , it's probably not an actual DNS issue. You can change the DNS servers pretty easily to verify:   Google DNS Preferred: 8.8.8.8Alternate: 8.8.4.4   OpenDNS Preferred: 208.67.222.222Alternate: 208.67.220.220

Nevermind, figured it out. Comcast DNS Servers decided to arbitrarily stop resolving Webex.com. Switch DNS Servers in your router (I used Google's) and you'll be unblocked.

Unable to connect to 2.4 network

I'm currently trying to set up a Ring 2 doorbell, which only connects to a 2.4 ghz frequency. When going through the setup, it couldn't see my network.

No. That is regular Comcast DNS server queries / traffic on DNS port 53. Your firewall is being a hypochondriac in its announcements. It is doing its job.
