XB7 Gateway blinking yellow/not connecting after power outage

Hello,

There was a power outage in my neighborhood while I was traveling and when I returned home the XB7 gateway could not connect to the internet and was blinking yellow. I did the usual troubleshooting steps:

  • Rebooted gateway
  • Checked cable connection to the gateway
  • Checked cables outside the house and did not see anything off there
  • Tried different cable ports in the house
  • Did a full factory reset of the gateway, after which when I connect to the wifi network, I get an Xfinity popup saying: "We can't detect a cable signal"

I'm guessing I might need a new gateway, or there's some issue with the cable that I wasn't able to spot.

This is now resolved. It turned out to be some melted connectors outside the house caused by the power outage. The tech replaced the parts and got things working again.
