Troubleshooting
If your laptop can't detect your Xfinity network, try updating your WiFi driver. A Comcast rep suggested this solution to a user who had the same issue.

Dual-band broadcasting can help your laptop detect the network. Allow your new router to broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, and your laptop should see the 2.4GHz network to connect.
A user's laptop didn't detect the network because it didn't support the 5GHz band. The laptop's network settings only showed the neighbor's networks, not the user's own network.
A common issue with the new xFi gateway is the need to update the WiFi driver. A Comcast rep told a user that updating the driver would likely resolve the issue.
