Unpausing devices for internet use.

It's a unique problem to Xfinity equipment.  Are you in a close neighbor/apartment situation, and are you using an Xfinity gateway?

If you are:

You might have an entirely different problem than "paused devices".  You may actually be connected to a neighbors gateway.  From their point of view, your  devices would look like an unknown devices and they may have them paused.  Xfinity uses MoCA.  It's Ethernet over coax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_over_Coax_Alliance 

You can try turning off MoCA for a test, then see if your devices work.  The solution is to isolate your network with an MoCA point of entry filter:

This can manifest itself as the same problem as "unknown devices on your network, terrible performance on your network, unexpected data use, streaming not working/buffering, horrid latency/download/upload speed, etc".

If you are not using your Xfi and use a 3rd party router/mesh network/router for your internal networking, what are you using for equipment and how do you have it setup?
