Internet won’t work after new router on laptop

I’ve literally tried everything and can’t seem to find any help form xfinitity for this issue. I got a new router recently and it can’t connect the WiFi to my laptop but can connect to everything else. This happened after I got the new router so I don’t think it’s my laptop. I’ve rest the gateway many times, changed passwords and wifi names and still nothing. I talked to two agents and called xfinity and still nothing. This is ridiculous and I’m seriously considering going back the old router!

The two WiFi bands have recently been combined into one with the Comcast gateway devices. Some devices get confused and don't know how to see / talk to combined bands.


If you are not using any Xfi Pods, you can try separating the 2.4 and the 5.0 bands and give them two different broadcast names / SSID's;

Associate the laptop with the 2.4 or the 5.0 (whichever one works) band's SSID (broadcast name) and password.
