New XFI Gateway not showing up in Xfinity app (still shows old gateway as offline)

I'm unable to access the new XFi Gateway through the Xfinity app. The app shows my previous MB8600 is offline even while connected to the new Xfi based WiFi. The 10.0.0.1 admin page when directly connected to the gateway via ethernet cable also does not seem to work. Internet access through the Xfi Gateway appears to be working.

How can I update the Xfinity app to correctly reflect the new Xfi Gateway instead of my old personally owned modem?

Thanks for reaching out today. I understand your concern with the app and want to help in any way I can. Have you tried logging out of the app and then logging back in?

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Yes,  I have tried logging out, force closing the app, then reopening and logging back in, but it still seems to show Your home internet is offline on the Overview tab, then it shows Your MB8600 is offline on the WiFi tab.

FYI, The admin page did finally work at http://10.0.0.1 and I was able to move the Gateway into Bridge mode for use with my Orbi mesh router system. I've noticed the admin pages seem to take a few minutes to properly load (strange...)

The Xfinity app still appears to show Your home internet is offline and Your MB8600 is offline although my internet connection appears to be working fine.

Thanks for confirming that for us and for the update. How long ago did you update the equipment on your end?
