ring doorbell

I started having issues with my Ring in July so i had a new one sent to me. However it is the same issue, the ring 2.4ghz is not connecting to my xfinity router which i had replaced not too long ago. Every other device in the house is working fine except for the ring doorbell. I reset the ring every day, xfinity has tried to update the gateway and troubleshoot but i don't know what else to do at this point. I had a tech come out 2 weeks ago and she replaced old cables thinking it might resolve the issue. I even had ring update any firmware. A ring agent asked for me to have xfinity lower my firewall, wpa2 connect and also create a gas network. They sent me to a 10.0.01 site to select my ring device to a "reserve id". I need assistance please.

I'm not an employee so there really is not much that I can do. I will say that I've seen many many posts here about exactly the same problem with many different WiFi devices since they decided to combine the bands.... And now, many people are complaining that they can't even uncombine the bands anymore...... They resort to turning in the rented device and purchasing their own equipment.

That is horrible, I am disappointed and annoyed that it might be the direction I go.

Oh no, I'm so sorry for the trouble you are experiencing with trying to get your Ring activated. The two WiFi bands 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 bands. If you are not using any Xfi Pods, you can try separating the 2.4 and the 5.0 bands and give them two different broadcast names / SSID' https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/change-wifi-mode-admin-tool-xfinity-xfi . Associate the devices with the 2.4 band's SSID (broadcast name) and password-Richard
