My app doesn't recognize any of my equipment and as a result I can't see anything to do with my internet any one else have this issue

My app use to work great but now it no longer recognizes any of my equipment. I had a tech out to my house that fixed some internet issues. Before he came out i was already having these issues with my app. He spent 2 hours trying to help me get the app working. Never could fix it. I have uninstalled the app reinstalled it. Any help????

I am having this same problem. It's a big problem as you can imagine. Note that after failure and going to the store twice to get two different new Gateway, and after being on the Xfinity app's Chat function twice with two staffers, who both gave up, finally a store employee was able to add my Gateway to my account, but even though it is working, I'm not happy because I can't use the app to control the Gateway change the SSID and so on.

I have figured out how to get into the Gateway through http://10.0.0.1/ ... which is OK but it doesn't support many things I'd like to do that are supported by the Xfinity app, which isn't connecting.

According to the web interface, Gateway is model CGM4981COM

I made sure to have the latest Xfinity app on my Samsung Android.

So right now if I open the Xfinity app, the first screen as a section at the top

Your home internet is offline

and below that a section labeled

Active your internet equipment

Begin activation

(But please note in my case the store employee actually did connect my modem to the cable so I am actually using it -- but this is also what I saw before doing anything). So now I click Begin activation

So I click Begin Activation and the next screen header is

Set up your Gateway to connect your home

and I click GET STARTED

The next screen:

Use your camera to scacn the QR code .... etc and I click Scan QR Code (white on black)

and the next screen

Sorry, we're having some trouble

We'll have to identify your Gateway another way. Chat with an agent for help

(Sometimes I have been prompted to enter the SC MAC address manually -- same thing, "Sorry, we're having some trouble"

I have spent two approximately 20 to 30 minute sessions with agents who ended up with no helpful solution whatsoever.

I have solved this with the help of an Xfinity chat technician. Although I am quite convinced that I had the latest Xfinity app on my phone, the technician suggested I remove the Xfinity app and re-install. After reinstalling, it recognized the Gateway. So ... all good now.
