Can't connect to Xfinity on one device but it connects fine to my old service

I set up Xfinity on several TVs computers, phones, and laptop in my home but canNOT connect to my Apple desktop so I have had to continue to use Century Link and I don't want to keep paying for both. The technician who originally set up the modem couldn't figure it out. Today another technician was here and switched out the modems to deal with the internet dropping connection frequently. He ALSO tried. The WIFI gets to the computer but there is an error message saying that it won't connect. I am stumped about what to do.

Hello user_zu8g2k, that is pretty odd for your desktop to have issues connecting while other devices can. Is this only happening over Wi-Fi? If so, are you able to test a hardwired connection?

@XfinityMarcos​ Hi. No. My question was not answered.

And I thought I posted publicly.

@XfinityMarcos​ It seems to be that the Wi-Fi is getting to this computer (according to the app on my phone) but the internet won't open. I have tried more than one browser. The technician who was at my house tried to connect with a hardwire but this desktop doesn't have the port.
