Trying to get my router to allow 802.11b
I recently dug up my old Wii and im trying to connect to the internet. It shows that the Wii requires 802.11b frequency I believe. Is there anyway to allow my router to allow 802.11b

That's going to depend on what you got for a radio in your router and the firmware running on it. We can't guess your equipment.

Page 9: https://usermanual.wiki/ARRIS/TG3482P2-3862959.pdf At one time, it was possible. This is the telephony model, but should have the same radio hardware. I'm not sure about your current firmware load. You can try logging into the gateway locally http://10.0.0.1 admin/password (unless you changed it). That one might be old enough (2018) that you can change WiFi modes there. Xfinity Marketing calls it an XB6.
Possibly from the "phone app" too, although that is less clear and Xfinity doesn't like to publish manuals -- more info: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/change-wifi-mode-admin-tool-xfinity-xfi . I'd guess likely not from the phone app.
Claims:
The TG3482 provides:
Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n/ac connectivity

FWIW. Here is another popular and credible source that indicates that the device is capable of that standard;

But with current firmware, who knows as others have stated. Best of luck with it !

You possibly can get a cheap usb wireless adapter that can be configured as an access point, that has that b band, windows can share a connection, possibly connect to it that way,…

Got a scrap pile or one of your friends have one? The best router is one collecting dust in someone's used junk pile. It's sure to speak 802.11b. No shame in retasking stuff.
