Creating a dual band with Xfinity App

I have an xfinity gateway model XB8.  I received a wifi camera that will use. 2.4 ghz band only.  I have tried unsuccesfully to access the gateway through the app as it does not have an option in the advanced settings to choose 2.4 or 5.0 ghz.

They recently updated the gateway's firmware. You have to turn on admin access in the app now;

Open the Xfinity App. (You'll need a working connection for this step).

Go to the WiFi tab.

Select View WiFi equipment and open Advanced Settings.

Select Admin Tool online access.

Slide the toggle button to Allow Admin Tool access (ON).

Select Save.

After that, you should be able to navigate to http://10.0.0.1
