Device shows up as offline even though connected to modem via ethernet.
My device keeps showing up as offline even though I am connected to it via ethernet. I have tried restarting my modem, changing the port it was connected to, restarting it via the app, factory resetting my modem, changing my ip, changing dns, turning off IPv6, setting IPv4 as preferred, and so much more I can't keep track of. When I factory reset the modem, it showed that my device was connected and for a moment I thought I finally fixed it, but after a bit I went to check on the app if it was connected and instead of telling me it was offline, it wasn't there at all. I checked on the 10.0.0.1 website and it says that it was connected but offline and since I can't find it on the app, I cannot troubleshoot it.
If anyone else has had this problem and has somehow fixed it please tell me as soon as possible.

Thank you for sending us a Private Message and including your information. When you look on the Xfinity App does the modem just show offline completely? There is a glitch where it will show offline even though you're fully connected via ethernet and your in-home WiFi.

Leave your ethernet cable plugged in
Leave your modem/router plugged in
Open the app
Go to unconnected devices
Find the problem device
Click the device
Click forget device
Go to home
Scroll and click restart router
Wait the 12 ish minutes it says it will take
When it comes back up the app will finally recognize the problem device as online. I was finally able to port forward and see my device as online.

My Arris SB6183 modem shows up as offline in the Xfinity app. But my internet is working. This problem started a few days ago.

Please create new topics of your own here on this board detailing your issues. Thanks. The original poster has not returned. 6-month-old dead thread is now being closed.
For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on an old thread can delay getting help.
