Trouble with some websites being blocked Unless I switch to phone hotspot it allows them

I’m trying to access websites for work and the Xfinity Wi-Fi is blocking my access. The only way around this is to use a Wi-Fi hotspot from my phone. Why should I have to switch back & forth?

You shouldn't have to and we'd love to help fix that. What error are you getting exactly?

For a test. Try disabling the Xfi Advanced Security feature as a work-around for now and see. It's buggy ! And there is no way for an end-user to be able to whitelist anything;


To disable the Advanced Security feature in xFi, select the Account icon from the top-left corner of the Overview tab on the xFi app and then select xFi Advanced Security. From here, select Disable under xFi Advanced Security and follow the on-screen prompts.

YMMV. Good luck !
