Connecting 2.4G network through Xfinity

I'm trying to set up the 2.4G network on my phone. First problem was selecting WiFi details. Click it and it wants me to scan a barcode. I can't scan a barcode on my phone WITH my phone. So I'm stumped there.

I don't even know if that's the button to press to set up 2.4Ghz.

I could use some help...

Thanks

Hey there Jibsman57 👋 I appreciate you dropping by with your network concerns, and you're in the right spot for help! Luckily, Xfinity makes it super easy to setup and separate your Wi-Fi network bands between their 2.4GHZ & 5GHZ bands respectively. For instructions on how to get that done, please check out xfinity.com/support/articles/change-wifi-mode-admin-tool-xfinity-xfi and let us know if you're still experiencing any issues after 👍

@XfinitySeth​ there is no WiFi bands in my Xfinity app, and connecting to the router says everything is controlled by the app.
