Xfinity app issues

I used the Xfinity app to install a new modem the other day. The installation went incredibly smoothly, an I'm online. But, the Xfinity app keeps telling me that I'm off line, which is not correct. Is there something that I'm missing or is there a setting in the app to update the on line/off line status?

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to reach out. I can understand the concern with the app not showing the modem online since the modem was installed. I apologize for the inconvenience. You've knocked on the right door in virtual land. We are a team of experts who specialize in resolving app concerns over social media. We can help. Have you tried logging in and out of the app or uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that resolves the issue?

I’m user Homer712 and I am the responsible for the post that started with “I used the Xfinity app to install a new modem the other day. The installation went incredibly smoothly, and I'm online. But, the Xfinity app is telling me that I’m not online”

Not only have I logged out and back in, and the issue persists. I also tried deleting the app and then reinstalling it, and the issue still persists. But, I also spent almost two hours on the phone with an Xfinity support person, and he was stumped as well. Every time he looked at my account, it was still showing the modem that I had just replaced. And, this issue is not new. If you do a search online for “Issues with Xfinity app saying you’re not connected to the internet”, items from this same community going back five to six years will come up. And every instance has at least 15 to 20 posts about the same issue I’m having. I’m online, yet the Xfinity app is telling me I’m not.

Just for reference, I’m on an iPhone. So, as for the app itself. If you delete the app (it states that its data will be deleted as well) and then download it again and try to login, it tells you that you are already logged in. So, that tells me that no data associated with the app ever gets deleted.

I welcome the experts, as this issue has been around for years, and somehow or other, has remained and issue for years without ever being addressed by Xfinity. I suspect that one of two things is at play here. Either the app itself is faulty (not deleting the data associated with the app), or there are issues at the Xfinity accounts end with actually registering the new modems.

user_2ihnfl Let's take a look at the account, and see where the issue is originating. Sounds like we just need to get the back end team to fix the modems in the system as the swich between them may be stalled for some reason. Should be an easy fix though. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" If necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person".

Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it
