Xfi pod stopped working

After working for months, my xfi pod now just has a pulsing white light and doesn't show up in the Xfinity app.

I've tried unplugging it. I've also tried restarting my gateway and then unplugging the pod and after waiting plugging it back in.

What next?

Gen 1 Pod (single Ethernet port) or Gen2 Pod (2 Ethernet ports)?

Which modem do you have?

 You might have to remove the Pod from your account using the Xfinity app. Unplug the Pod from the power outlet. Power cycle the modem by disconnecting power for 30 seconds. After the modem is fully online, then go through the Xfinity app to activate the Pod. 

Let me know how that works out.

@user_323c89​ It's a gen 2 pod. According to the "Gateway details" on my Xfinity app, the modem is a Technicolor XB8.

I'll give the reactivation process a go later when no one needs to be online.

@user_1vn5t8​ Thank you for the info. That helps with troubleshooting. Any luck with the activation? If not, how far away from the XB8 is the Pod, and are there any sources of interference between the Pod and the XB8 (e.g. walls, metal, appliances, etc.)? Two things you might want to try. First, try activating the Pod closer to the XB8. Or, and my preferred method, connect the Pod to the XB8 using a quality Cat6 Ethernet cable, between one of the ports on the Pod, to any port on the XB8 other than port 4 (the one with the red line above it). This removes all chances of WiFi communication issues between the XB8 and the Pod, plus gives you much more consistent speeds when devices connect to the Pod. If that doesn’t work, you’re running low on options and the Pod might be malfunctioning.

The pod is 10-15 yards from the gateway. There is a small hallway between the gateway and the pod but it's not like it's really obstructed. The same pod worked in this location for more than a year before it disappeared from the app.

when I begin the activation process, I choose the pod version I have by tapping the photo; I see a screen that says

Say Hello to Your New xFi

Pods!

Setup should take less than 10 minutes. Please enable Bluetooth on your mobile device before you begin.

I tap "get started" and i see a screen that says

Let's Try That Again

Sorry, we ran into a problem. Please try again or go back to the previous screen.

This happens on my account and on my wife's (she's the primary on our Xfinity account) I'm a couple of feet away from the pod at most and the message appears immediately.
