Xfinity Xfi App - Desktop “This Device is Paused”

Hello, 

Anybody has a workaround in getting a desktop back online?

I paused it for a couple of days using the Xfi app and unpaused it. Now, though connected to WiFI, won’t connect to the internet. 

The desktop that is having issues shows “This device is paused”. 

I would appreciate any workaround you may suggest.

Same issue on both an Echo 5 and Insignia Fire TV. Paused both for a few days and then unpaused. Xfi app says connected but both devices say paused. Just remember I paused my printer as well, great. I've turned on/off both devices many times, forgot the network, and signed back on to the network. Nothing seems to be working.
