We moved here 2 months ago and got Xfinity for both WiFi and Mobile service. None of our smart plugs will connect to Alexa or phone apps. In fact of the numerous WiFi products I've tried to connect to the WiFi only our thermostat worked, and our burglar alarm, but I stayed on the phone for 45 minutes with the alarm company to get that connected.

With that said- has anyone had any issues with Xfinity WiFi / Mobile and pairing smart devices? And if so what was the solution?

Thanks
No problems with xfinity pairing a Google Dot or Chromecast. When I replaced the router I first needed to reset the Chromecast to new before it would reconnect to the new router. Like the family cats, these devices do not welcome changes to new environments.
