non-web traffic failure

As of this morning, I can't seem to send/receive any Internet traffic (email, podcast downloads, iMessage, etc.) using WiFi *except* for web browsing, which seems to work fine. This holds true across multiple devices (laptops, smartphones).

Speed tests run from the Comcast app fail; speed tests run from a browser succeed.

Looking at my router (Comcast-supplied Cisco XB3) admin panel, in Troubleshooting > Network Diagnostic Tools:

Connectivity to the Internet:Inactive: Error_Other
Packets Sent:4
Packets Received:0
Destination Address: www.comcast.net Count:  

Testing other IPv4 addresses also returns 

Connectivity: Error

Running an IPv4 traceroute from that panel fails.

Any advice on next steps for troubleshooting / remediation?

Hey @user_8f030b, thanks for reaching out to Xfinity Support on our forums. I do see there is work in your area on the internet. Are you still experiencing the issue with your internet traffic?

Thanks for checking in; yes, the issues continue as of this posting time. I worked through a tier 1 support call yesterday afternoon; the agent was very polite and helpful but unfortunately we weren't able to reach a resolution.
