Xfinity app doesn't let me manage WiFi devices.

Hello Xfinity,

Based on feedback from my local Xfinity store, I decided to try out the new Xfinity Gateway device - got it setup on 26-Dec-2023.

Customer support agent had to get involved to activate the modem due to a system error when I attempted to register (device was incorrectly registered under a different user).

My internet is setup and was bumped to Gigabit+ plan.

Xfinity app is not recognizing my modem and I'm unable to manage my WiFi devices. Of course I can use 10.0.0.1.

I spend about 8+ hours of my last week of December, trying to get this issue resolved via Xfinity telephone support and gave up on it.

Every technician that I talked to on phone, promised to resolve the error - after pointing out a synch error between services.

Multiple tickets were created and no luck.

Appreciate any support.

Thanks,

[Edited: Personal Information]

Have to point out that the Xfinity app send me alerts about new devices getting online.
So it must be the UI preventing the info from being shown on screen - but the backend/smarts must be working?

Multiple ticket numbers were closed without issue resolution:

Hey @XfinityMarcus 

I can't believe that the response here is to connect me to the same support that did not know how to help me after multiple phone calls.

I literally spend about 8+ hours with Xfinity support on phone and completely no help.
I would like to avoid spending more time being on call with them

Why direct message? Is this not something anyone from Xfinitty support has seen before? 

I have another few more days and unfortunately the device is doing back if it's not resolved.

Multiple of your support team knew that the issue is a data-sync across different systems.

Is there no way to resolve this even after me raising 2 or 3 support tickets.

@XfinityMarcus Aren't you able to get the info you requested above from my listed tickets?

Who's monitoring these closed-supoprt-tickets to ensure that the issue is really resolved and not bogusly closed?
