I hope this will save anyone who uses comcast xfinity as their ISP time & money I have wasted! I had 2 Wyze cam pans connected that worked great until comcast had me upgrade my modem to a dual band modem (uses both 2.4 & 5 GHz networks). We were sold these little things they came out with about a y…

These kind of things are exactly why I have never used Comcast equipment for my Internet , I have Always used my own Internet equipment many, many years

Buy , set up , and run , your own equipment , and be happy :smiley:
