If I remember correctly Xfinity used both bands with the same SSiD password and expected the devices to determine which band to use. A lot of these devices can only use 2.4 but isn’t smart enough to negotiate properly. Solution is to separate the 2 bands with separate SSID’s. Both can have the same password but need the separate SSID so it can be specified during setup to use the 2.4 band.
