X1 cable box shows Status Unavailable

I have my own modem/router and 3 Xfinity X1 cable boxes. Within the last 2-3 weeks one of the three boxes shows Status Unavailable on the Xfinity app. I’m having intermittent problems watching 3rd party apps on this box with messages saying to check wifi connection. The Xfinity box won’t let me check the wifi connection? I have strong Wifi signal to the tv it’s hooked up to, as wells as all other connected devices in the house. I’ve tried a system refresh, unplugged and plugged back in (which btw disconnects picture to the other two boxes), and spent a bit of time on the line with Customer Service to no avail. Is there something else I can try? Or exchange the box?
