App not turning on the internet

The app says my laptop is connected but the websites say "This Device is paused. To resume access to the internet" go to the app. The app then says the laptop is connected.

I've tried pausing and then unpausing on the app but it doesn't fix the problem.

Hello, @user_86nryy, thanks for sharing this experience. I recommend resetting your modem and all devices. Then make sure your Xfinity app has the latest updates. Have you given these steps a try?

This happens every Saturday for some reason. We have tried restarting the modem and all devices that have this problem several times and my Xfinity app is up to date. It still won't let the laptop and Roku connect.

Thank you for trying the recommended troubleshooting in the AI chatbox @user_86nryy. To confirm, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

Reinstalling the app on my phone? The internet doesn't work on the Roku for my TV and my laptop so I'm not sure what app or how that would help.

user_86nryy I apologize for the confusion. The device's pause error can occur if there is a connection interference. For example, in areas where modems for more than one customer can be located near each other, like in an apartment building, your devices may be trying to connect to the wrong network. When that happens, we may have to add additional filters on the connections to help prevent that from happening. If you have confirmed your devices are not paused in the Xfinity app and have already run through troubleshooting, a technician may be needed. The Xfinity assistant, normally, if not able to correct an issue, will also help get an appointment set up for you. I can also help if you are still running into the issue as well. Let me know!
