I recently upgraded to the xb6. My first two, in a period of two weeks, were Arris and the modem kept dropping off the phone. This time I finally got a Technicolor brand, and the phone works great, but this lan/wifi thing happens.
I have an HP desktop about 10 years old running Windows 10.
Anyone seen/heard of this ?
No, I don't have an old HP ruinning Win10.
You might try looking into your Ethernet Settings.
Update: Researching, I found where I could change the duplex settings on my lan. It was set to AUTO, so I changed it to FULL duplex, same problem. I changed to HALF duplex and it works now. Not sure why either my LAN card or the new modem doesn't like full...but it works and I don't see any slowdown with browsing or even speed tests.

In my case, the phone works until I have a drop in internet service. When the modem brings back the internet , it is as if it forgets to activate the phone. I get a busy signal for dial tone until I power modem off/on. I am in my second Xb6 modem in two weeks. A Comcast tech is now monitoring my activity,. Both of my xb6 were Arris. I have requested to get another xb6 made by Technicolor. I have read elsewhere and a tech at my house claim they are much more stable. Haven’t had any internet drops today. Phone is working for now.

I just upgraded my modem to the new 'cube' one, and am now having this problem. I reset the modem, the phone works for a while, then goes to the 'stutter' tone (busy signal) a while later. I have a technician coming tomorrow. I'm sure they will just swap the box.

I get those all the time. It's difficult to block because they call with a different number each time.

What is the meaning of the many caller ID's with a display similar to: V125173821032231 ???? Can I block them all at once or do I have to put them in my call blocker individually? Is there any reason I should answer any of them?? THx...steve

Yes I have the option but phone support did it. Guess I could try that. When they do the reset I don't have to relogin to Netflix. The box option A says you have to relogin, so maybe it's different. Worth a try.

I did that. Netflix worked a short while. Called again. They 'reset my Netflix account'. It works for a while. I've been dealing with support every day...all they want to do is reset my box. Problem still going on. I even did a video of whats happening and sent it via Twitter. The reps there reply 'that's odd'. But the problem goes on.

Whenever I use the Netflix app from my DVR, when the program starts, I have audio but no video. So, I exit Netflix, start it up again, and this time it works. This is not sometimes, it's EVERYTIME. I try using Netflix with Apple TV box and with my Blu-Ray player, no issues.

I find the X1 app to be quite strange. Often when I open the app I get various errors and then it works. Or, when I look at recordings on the DVR from the app, I see many shows recorded that are old and long ago deleted. Most recently, I select a program to watch, on the TV itself, and it says this program has been downloaded and needs to be uploaded back to DVR. The program is not downloaded, nor has it ever been. I exit the menu, go back into menu, and then it plays.

I did delete and reinstall . During the reinstall it says having trouble adding this device. I have same issue on iPhone 5 also, now. Looks like not an APP problem because I didn't do update on the phone, only Ipad.

I've been using the x1 TV for some time, working well, til just a few moments ago when I did the latest app update. I cannot watch live TV from my home network, as before. I'm still able to watch recorded programs, but not live TV. The guide seems to show I'm in ATLANTA....um, I"m in San Francisco East Bay area. The helpdesk said for me to uninstall the app and reinstall. It didn't work. I now get error code 13001 as the app tries to add my device, again. The phone rep said they would 'expedite' to level 2 and I'd get a call back. Oh, this is using the app on my IPAD 4.

Do you mean the update dated Sept 11 ? If so, my red light has been stuck on with that update. I just got the new Update. Yes, they fixed the red recording light that was always on and fixed the intensity control for thge Green Circle. Congrats to the Software team!!! Now, if they could only fix the Tech Support phone lines that many, like me, have to wait 45 minutes, then get disconnescted, then have to call again and wait 45 minutes... AND.....the continual recording saying ..."We are having heavy call volmue at this time" and at 3:00am?? They need to hire more USA help and no more Phillipinos.

Tried to set a recording right after update. Tried three times, but no luck. Next day, there it is scheduled to record three times. I feel like Alice in Wonderland and our Wonderland is much worse than hers. Got the new update last night (forced it) and red light has been on all day. Nothing recording. I think the only thing the updates do is update the date of the update.

Does anyone know of a way (except copy/paste) to quote a post you are replying to, when using the Xfinity APP for Iphone/Ipad ? I don't see the quote button when using the app. Thanks

I have two entertainment systems in the house both powered with pioneer elite receivers and I now have to use multi remotes because the X-1 remote is not universal. Is anyone else having the same problem? Can it really be Xfinity missed this step in thier R&D or is customer services & thier installers clueless. Help & thoughts??? The boxes are compatible with receivers. I use a logitech harmony remote which you program to work with most any devices. The xr2 remote is not fully compatible, but with the harmonry remote, I'm able to put the comcast away to collect dust.

My Harmony One remote works great with my x1 box. Only thing is the Logitech database doesn't have the "D" button. And since the xr2 remote is RF , the Harmony won't learn commands manually. But I put my xr2 remote away and use the Harmony, haven't had the need for the D button.

I was able to pair my xr2 remote by following the instructions on back of the remote. Maybe they are different.

Just had x1 installed yesterday. I notice that when I select "surround" it takes it, then immediately, if I exit and go back to audio settings, it's back to stereo. However, it's indeed broadcast in surround. All my speakers are working properly, even tho the setting says "stereo".
