After dealing with this same company in Ohio, I am trying to avoid talking to them. Thanks, everyone!
Here are two suggestions. First, connect your router directly to the Xfinity box using an ethernet cable. Another suggestion is to take the Xfinity box to the Xfinity store in Lady Lake, near Best Buy, and get a new box. The people there are very helpful.
