Curios if anyone can tell me why a 2025 Volvo XC60 with the latest and greatest software doesn't see my home Wi-Fi network to be able to connect to it. It sees several other Wi-Fi networks around my house, but not mine. I currently have Comcast internet with their XB7-T gateway, which I've never had a problem with other devices seeing and connecting to. It's not a big deal, but it bothers me having to go to the dealership for software updates that I should be able to download OTA and self-install. Thanks in advance.

Just a quick google. Most suggested to create a guest network with WPS turned off.

Looks like you can't create a guest network with the XB7 gateway so you'll have to turn off WPS on your main home network.

From Google AI:

To turn off WPS on an XB7 router, access the admin panel via a web browser, navigate to the Wi-Fi settings, and locate the WPS option. You can typically disable WPS by clicking a button or checkbox associated with WPS settings.


Detailed Steps:

  • Access the Router's Admin Panel: Open a web browser and type the router's IP address (usually 10.0.0.1) into the address bar.
  • Log in: Enter the username and password (often found on a sticker on the router).
  • Navigate to Wi-Fi Settings: Look for a "Wi-Fi," "Wireless," or "Network" section in the admin panel.
  • Find WPS Settings: Within the Wi-Fi settings, locate the WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup options.
  • Disable WPS: You should find a button or checkbox to disable WPS. Click on the button or deselect the checkbox to turn WPS off.
  • Save Changes: Save the changes in the admin panel.

    Note: Some routers might have a WPS button on the front or back of the router. Pressing and holding this button for a specified duration (e.g., one minute) can initiate a factory reset, which may also disable WPS.
