Upgrade for this experience.

Xfinity app is not working for me. I just moved my services to a new home. Every time I try to login it shows me an error message that says “to access xfinity, you’ll need to upgrade your service/equipment”. I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling: does not work. clicked upgrade now: takes me to a page where I choose my address, I chose it, then it took me to some page that says I don’t have access to… tried to sign out and sign in multiple times but does not work either.

Hello @Cmestre17! Thank you for taking the time to reach out and being part of the Xfinity family. That sounds like it could be a User ID issue. I'd like to take a look at the account and see what I can find. In order to get started can you please send me a private message to Xfinity Support with your full name and full address by clicking the chat icon in the top right?

Hey, @user_59861d! Thanks for reaching out to us. I apologize to hear that you are having issues with the app. Have you tried clearing out the cache/data from the device settings for the app and then log back into it to see if this corrects the problem?

I’m having the same problem. I can’t use the app to manage my Wi-Fi because it’s telling me I need to “upgrade” even though I just moved and bought a new modem so my roommate can work from home better.

I have the exact same issue. Moved to a new apartment and got a new modem. However, when I try to connect to the internet it sends me to the “upgrade” page described above. I’ve been to a store for help and the connection looks fine on their end, but I am still unable to connect.

Hi @user_e6c300,

In order to use the Xfinity App, you would need a modem rental in order to take advantage of all the cool features our xFi Platform provides. Do you currently use a modem rental or owned personal modem device?

Hi, user_andyS. Have you made sure you have the newest version of the app downloaded from the app store? Please double-check to see if there is a new version.

I am having the same issue as others in this post. I recently moved service address, at which time we upgraded our equipment. The app is telling me I need to upgrade the service/equipment to access the app. I contacted Xfinity support a few weeks ago and they said I had the most updated equipment and to “give the app a couple of days before trying again”. Based on the responses above, I’m thinking the issue is that my account is still linked to my old address. I cannot figure out how to take that old address off of my account. Could you please assist?  Thank you

I have the same issue. It's really poor setup & customer service that your app does not allow you to fix this on your own. I am fairly positive my account default is my old address. 

If this takes a long time, it might be time to switch to sonic.

I'm having the same issue. I've spoken to 2 different reps and neither one has resolved the issue. Actually the first rep upgraded my service and added $25/month on my bill which I thought kinda [Edited: "Language"]. Oh and the 2nd rep. Said they're fixing the technical issue with the app and to try logging back in an hour. Hour and half later...same issue.  C'mon Xfinity....be better.

@user_2b50e5​ I got mine fixed after working with an xfinity employee over the phone and it supposed to be fixed I still had the same issue. Then it hit me what could cause it and that is my old account was set as the default account. So, when I went online, I could see the 2 accounts I looked and the last 4 digits and sure enough an account that has been shut off for 3 years was the default account. I swapped the default to the new account and then completely removed the old one just so it was never an issue again and I was able to log right in!
