Home WiFi will not connect to ring devices

I made the switch from verizon to xfi months ago. I didn’t originally have a problem with switching my ring devices to the new WiFi but it suddenly stopped working this month. Now, when I try to reconnect the doorbell 2nd gen or stick up cam 3rd gen, the home wifi does not pop up. I enabled DMZ on my XB6 XFi modem but it still will not connect.

@user_4252f9 here is a great link https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/internet-connectivity-troubleshooting on how to troubleshoot your internet connection. If after troubleshooting you still don't see your wifi network name on your devices, I recommend you reach out to the manufacturer of those devices to walk you through connecting your devices to your home network

@XfinityOrlandoM​ do you know how to reconnect a ring doorbell that has been working fine with your Xfinity modem until they put a new modem in. I cannot reconnect my ring doorbell XFINITY’s been out twice. I’ve been on the phone with ring doorbell for hours no one can seem to help me.

I got a new modem and the ring doorbell stopped working. They came back out and split our modem and I still cannot connect to the ring doorbell. It’s been over a month now. Did you get this resolved with XFINITY ring doorbell said it’s not them.

@Maysv​ quite frankly, all I’ve been told is to do the actions I’ve already done and my ring devices are being blamed. My door sensors and base station are able to connect, but not the video doorbells. One doorbell is brand new and both have no issue connecting to other WiFi networks. I’ve been considering switching WiFi again if I can’t get a solution from Xfinity.

I have a similar situation with our Blink cameras.   They were working fine and then stopped.  They won’t connect to our WiFi.   I did troubleshoot with Blink and they said I need to have them on a 2.4g network and to request it from Xfinity.  I did chat with an agent twice and was told that it had to be added internally and my case would be escalated.   It’s been over 2 weeks and I haven’t had a response.

@user_436638 I am sorry to hear that you have not had a response. You can use the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/view-change-wifi-password to assist in changing the name of your network so that you are able to see the different bands when connecting to your WiFi. Although there are benefits of using one WiFi name and password for your home network. You can read more about this at the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/benefits-same-wifi-network-password-name-xfi-gateway.

 

Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you with the request! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!
