"We can't connect to your device" on xFinity website landing page
Whenever i logon to the xFinity site, I see "We can't connect to your device" displayed on the landing page.
I have attempted to clear this error by performing a complete system refresh. That always fails with the error:
"System Refresh Unavailable"
Below this message is the option "Restart a Single TV Box".
If I try that, I get the following error:
"500 Error Something went wrong. Please try refreshing your browser."
I gone through these steps on three different computers using two different browsers (Chrome and Firefox). Same results each time.
I was advissed to replace the main box which I did. The problem still persists. And, the main box is most definitely online.
I've also run into another problem when trying to use the "Add or Manage Devices" function under the "Devices" menu item. When I click "Add or Manage Devices", i receive the following error:
"Looks like something went wrong... Please try again, or contact us for more help."
Happens every time. I've also tried this on multiple computers using both Chrome and Firefox. No luck.
I did call on these issues but the tech support call quickly degenerated into a sales pitch -- with no resolution to the technical issues at hand. So, I'm hoping that someone on the forums might have some ideas on how to resolve these problems.
Thanks,
JeffMcG

What happened to this thread? There must have been 25-30 messages in it. Now, I just see my initial post and the first reply to it.

@JeffMcG, that's a great question! Sometimes threads are marked as resolved, more or less, and locked. When a thread is locked and your post is still in progress, it would start a new thread. Other times, if the content is somewhat different (for example, the reason for your issue ends up being different), a new thread can be started as well. Not to worry- in any case, we're still here to help! Are you still having the same issues with the landing page seeing your devices?

Yes, I am still seeing problems I described in my original post. I don't understand why almost all of the content of the thread was removed. As i said in my previous note, there must have been at least 25 separate notes in the thread.

Hi JeffMcG, I am not sure what happened to the other comments if there were any but I can find out 🙂 When it comes to your issue, I know you mentioned that you've tried the Xfinity site on different computers and different browsers but can you tell me if you get the same error when trying to navigate to other websites? Are you connected to the internet via your home network or a public hot spot?

This is what is so frustrating. Your questions were all answered (sometimes multiple times) in the thread that has gone missing.
I have tried accessing xfinity.com in the following ways:
All with the same result.

I appreciate the update. You shouldn't have to try multiple times to access our site from the home network, and I can understand why this would get frustrating over time. You stated in the original post you were also having issues troubleshooting the set-top box as well. Were you able to do this from the Xfinity portal online, or did you get access on the Xfinity App? As a test, can you try accessing the site using a "private" or "incognito" tab?
