| Comcast-Xfinity Router Connection Issues |
Model: Xfinity
Manufacturer: Comcast
The Comcast-Xfinity router by default has the Wi-Fi channels set to Auto. This may cause problems with connection to your Hydrawise controller. This can be easily fixed by changing the channel of your 2.4Ghz signal to channel 6. It is also recommended to change the bandwidth to 20/40. <Changing WiFi Channel in the Admin Tool
