How can we activate the 2.4GHZ on the SB8200 with Xfinity? I just bought the device and cannot connect some of my devices. Thank you for your help in advance

The SB8200 is a cable modem and does not have built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. If you're looking for Wi-Fi access, I would recommend connecting a router to the SB8200.

You need a router for wifi. The SB8200 is a modem only device. 

Did you purchase a router?

Current setup: Netgear CM3000-->Netgear RBE973S-->2.5gig tp-link switch, Xfinity 2.4gig/350mbps
