Your xFinity Router should be broadcasting both bands.  The camera would automatically see the 2.4 signal, and you select it to connect.

The two WiFi bands SSID's have recently been combined into one with the Comcast gateway devices. Some devices get confused and don't know how to see / talk to combined SSID's.


If you are not using any Xfi Pods, you can try separating the 2.4 and the 5.0 names and give them two different broadcast names / SSID's;

Associate the camera with the new 2.4 SSID (broadcast name) and password.
