xfi pods ethernet

Recently my xFi pods are not activating the ethernet port unless the plugged-in device is my computer.  For years I have had a NAS plugged into it and now I cannot access without first plugging in my computer and browsing the Internet.  That seems to activate the port and allows me to connect other devices.  Has there been a recent change to the pod configuration?  I have tried a couple with the same result.

Hey @user_9a728e, thank you for reaching out on our forums. That is strange and there hasn't been an update I could find that would cause the port to to turn on with devices. I'm wondering if the NAS isn't being recognized with xFi. Does it pick up when it is plugged into the modem directly or having the same issue?

@XfinityNicolas​ This affects any device that is plugged into the Pod except my laptop. My setup has a small Netgear switch plugged into the Pod and my printer and NAS are plugged into the switch.  This has worked fine for years.  Now the only thing that will get the Pod Ethernet port to work is to plug my laptop into the switch.  I have taken the switch out of the configuration to test the Pod port directly and still the only thing that activates it is my laptop...not the printer or the NAS.  I have also switched the Pod with another in my house...same thing.  Sure seems that something has changed somewhere in the Xfinity network equipment.

Any update on this post. I’m having the same issue with my synology Nas connected to my pod. Computer is on the same pod and working but it’s saying my nas is not connected. Very strange. Hope it worked out for you as I’m having the same issue.

@user_d55299 Hi there, thank you for taking the time to reach out to Xfinity Community Forum for assistance. I understand you are experiencing issues with your xFi pods, and it would be my pleasure to help. It looks like this post was initiated a few months ago, so let's start fresh just to make sure we're on the same page. I am confident we will get to the bottom of your concerns. Can you tell me exactly what's happening, and how often? Also, are your pods fairly new or have you had them for a while? 

 

I no longer work for Comcast.
