If your Xfinity Home system or touchscreen has lost network connectivity or is in offline mode, certain features of your Xfinity Home service may not be fully functional. Follow the steps below to restore your connection to the Internet as soon as possible.

Check for common problems

1. Make sure the touchscreen is plugged into a working power outlet that isn't controlled by a light switch.
2. Make sure the power cable is plugged securely into the back of the touchscreen.
3. Make sure the touchscreen is in its originally-installed location. Never move the touchscreen from its original location.
4. Check your connection to the internet.
