2.4 mhz devices not connecting.

I just exchanged my modem. I connected everything and I am having an issue. Two devices, Blink and Ring, require 2.4 mhz wifi. Neither of those devices are not connecting to the new modem. Any help would be appreciated.

sal51 Thanks for reaching out! Do you recall which Xfinity Gateway you received? Also, are you seeing any error messages when trying to connect the devices?

That is our XB8. By default, the modem tries to find the best connection and does not split the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands up. You can enable split bands and individually name the 2.4 and 5 connections by following these steps:

1. Log into the Xfinity App

2. At the bottom select the WiFi tab.

3. Click the WiFi details icon. Should look like a network signal icon.

4. Bottom of the page will be Edit WiFi Details.

5. Should have a toggle to turn on split bands and then scoll lower to name each one. 

6. Click Save

 

You should be able to connect those devices to the individually named 2.4ghz band after that.

I've tried that, split the bands and renamed the 2.4. Neither application will still not connect to the 2.4.
