Instagram not loading only on Xfinity gateway router on pixel 3
I recently switched to Xfinity and have been facing an issue where Instagram simply doesn't load (blurry images and videos). I tried reinstalling the app, restarting the phone, resetting the networks on phone, restarting the router but nothing has worked so far. Instagram however works perfectly while on my mobile data (att) and of other public or private wifi that is not Xfinity. I have seen many android users facing similar issues but couldn't find any workaround or solution to this issue.

@user_4776ab here is an awesome link on troubleshooting your Wi-Fi internet connection https://comca.st/3Iq2Glp, when it comes to social media apps that are not uncommon that they work better via data at times, as your Wi-Fi connection all depends on how many devices are connected, other devices running such as microwaves or cordless phones, how the home is built, placement of the modem

Hello,
I'm having the exact same issue with Instagram on 2 phones. Both Android, one is Samsung and the other is Motorola.
All speed and device tests conducted through the Xfinity app look great. I have done a reset on the gateway as well.
On Instagram itself I have cleared cache, cleared storage, uninstalled, and reinstalled the app twice. It will be ok for some time and then just stop loading altogether when connected to my Xfinity home wifi. It works fine on data.
I have not noticed any pattern to when it decides to stop working, but the problem definitely started 2 weeks ago immediately after I switched to Xfinity, set up my new equipment, and got connected to it.
Gateway Details...
Model: CGM44331COM
Vendor: Technicolor
Revision: 2.0
Phone details...
Device: Moto G 5G (2022)
SIM: Google Fi
Android Version: 12
Instagram App Details...
Installation: Through Google Play Store
Version: 255.1.0.17.102
Any further investigation that can be done on your end would be very much appreciated, this issue is extremely aggravating and inconvenient.
Thank you.

I've been searching high and low for a solution. Have tried everything ...and I mean everything and after reading article after article and seeing that I only have this issue when I'm on my wifi at home, like everyone else having this problem, it's definitely an xfinity issue.
The only time the app works on my home Xfinity wifi is after I clear the apps data cache, and it only works once. Once I close the app and re open, same issue.
I'm going to keep searching and hope someone has found a fix because all I'm finding here is people with all types of devices having the same issue and threads getting closed without a fix.
:(

Update: Very recently I switched to pixel 6 and still have the same issue!!! I have been having this issue where Instagram simply doesn't load MOST OF THE TIME (It does work rarely at times even without me reinstalling the app). All of my other applications are working fine including Facebook and WhatsApp. Also, Iphone 11 connected to the same wifi still works well without any problem. I have reset the modem and the phone's network connection (even tried changing to 2.4 Ghz) but the issue still persists. Reinstalling the app fixes the bug but lasts only for a few minutes. However, I could use Instagram on chrome without any issues. Almost 3 months since I posted and still no solution? I definitely think it's not the Instagram app issue as it loads perfectly while on any other network. Is Xfinity blocking the information transfer to and from the app?
