Xfinity App shows no Internet Connection but I have Wifi with new modem/router
I disconnected my Xfinity Gateway Modem/Router as it is no longer included free in my service plan. I added an approved Xfinity Wifi cable modem (Arris Surfboard SBG8300) via the Xfinity mobile app and I am able to connect to the Internet. But when I check the Xfinity mobile app, it states "Your home internet is offline".
Two questions:
1) How can I get the app to recognize that I am online
2) My plan is to return the Xfinity rental Gateway modem/router. How can I delete my wifi name and password from this rental device.
Thank you.

You'll need to hard reset the Xfinity Gateway Device to factory defaults by pressing and holding in the recessed reset button on the rear (or use the WPS button if it doesn't have a reset button hole) for 30 seconds. And when you return it, a rep will need to delete your other info from the backend database.

Hello, @user_eh34ic to return your equipment Please visit the Digital Return Center (xfinity.com/returns) where you can select the devices to return. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/returning-your-equipment Customers can return their equipment by scheduling a UPS at-home pickup by printing the UPS return label, boxing up the equipment, and then calling 1-800-PICK-UPS (Customers will need the tracking number from the UPS return label to schedule the pick-up.); or you can simply drop the devices off at any open UPS location (the devices could be packaged up or dropped off as-is and UPS will package them up for our customers). I recommend visiting theupsstore.com for the most up-to-date locations and store hours.
I'd like to ask you some questions to narrow down the solution to this Xfinity App issue. Is the Arris Surfboard recognizing your network name and password? Have you attempted to delete the Xfinity App and reload it?

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks. The original poster has not returned. Marked solved thread is now being closed.
For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on someone else's older thread can delay getting help.
