Xbox Not Working with XB7?

I recently bought an old Xbox 360 from eBay, and it seems to be incompatible with my XB7 Gateway. The XB7 is 5G and the 360 will only work on 2.4GHz. Is there a workaround for this or am I out of luck?

@XfinityBrianH​ Hi, is the XB8 capable of separating signals? Because I got one today as a replacement and it’s giving the exact same issue. I tried going through Xfinity support (on the app) and got nowhere. Do I have to downgrade to an XB3? Or is that even possible to do?

user_xuwncn - You should be able to by following the instructions above to name the two networks differently, and connect to whichever is needed per device.

@XfinityThomasA​ I’m a little confused by the instructions. I don’t see an option for this in my Xfinity app. Could I please have some extra clarification? Thank you.

This link should help, user_xuwncn.

How to change your home network's WiFi channel selection or mode

xFi Advanced Gateways (XB6 or newer)
Most of these gateways have been upgraded with software that manages advanced WiFi settings automatically to help optimize your home network and provide the best performance possible.
Advanced WiFi settings for gateways with this software enhancement are not visible and cannot be managed from the Admin Tool or Xfinity App.

That being said, can you try naming the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz differently to see if it helps?
