Xfinity App hangs at the WIFI module with a wall
update:
this was finally sent to a developer department and is now fixed
my first thoughts on this must have been correct
Scenario
- I live in a one room studio apt, with one wire coming in to connect to for internet.
- I have Xfinity Internet only, no tv, etc.. I only use internet to stream shows/movies and podcasts, no gaming.
Initial Problems
1-Some of my devices were not getting connected or audio would go in and out, or having problems staying connected.
2-Xfinity app showing that other devices are connected (not mine), some are 'hardwire' connected (wtf?) Note: I have no hard connected devices, ever.
Then I renewed my contract, and was sent a white modem to replace the black one.
Same things happened.
Finally a tech guy comes out and takes a look at my wire coming from the box outside. He puts it on a meter and shows me it has tons of holes in it. Maybe because it's 35 years old?
Wire is replaced, connection perfect, all my devices are working.
But I still have a problem, Xfinity App says I am not connected if I try to view/edit Wifi or devices under Wifi.
And since I'm "not connected" (but I am CONNECTED and everything is working great) I can't get in to the wifi component that is listed at the bottom of the app screen, to view my wifi or view/edit my devices.
I cannot login on my laptop and get to this screen as it says to do so I must use the Xfinity app. What a loop.
No agents have a solution,
and I have suggested that this Xfinity APP must have been overloaded by connections at some point and that has caused it to 'hang' and keep a constant 'your home internet is not connected' wall in my app, and keeping from going any further to view wifi or view devices.
What do you all think?

Hello @user_51m170, thanks for reaching out for help with your account. I'm glad to hear that your connection is more stable, but that is definitely strange that the app says you are not connected.
You mentioned you renewed your contract. With this did you possible move to a different unit or make any changes to your address? Normally when we see this happen it's because the user ID is linked to an old account.
