This error can happen if you’ve bridged your Rogers Xfinity and Rogers 5G Home Internet Gateways to use an eero or third-party WiFi solution.

  1. Make sure your Rogers Xfinity and Rogers 5G Home Internet Gateways and eero or third-party solution are configured to use the same WiFi network name and password. 
  2. Turn WiFi off instead of bridging the Rogers Xfinity and Rogers 5G Home Internet Gateways, and then put your eero or third-party solution into access point (AP) or bridged mode so devices get IP addresses from the Rogers Xfinity and Rogers 5G Home Internet Gateways.
RDK-03005 "Sorry, we're having some trouble. We've run into a problem that may be fixed by restarting your set-top box. Please wait a few minutes then press OK to restart."  Unplug your set-top box from the electrical outlet. Wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in to restart. 
RDK-03060 “Unfortunately, this isn’t working. Make sure your HDMI cable is connected to a HDCP-capable device. Or, if your set-top box has a component video connection, you can use a component cable to connect to your TV.”  You may see this error code if you’ve connected your Rogers Xfinity set-top box to an audio device (like a receiver) or other equipment that’s connected to your TV. Try the following troubleshooting methods: 
  1. Restart your Rogers Xfinity set-top box and your TV.
  2. Make sure your set-top box is directly connected to your TV and not through your audio device or other equipment.
    • If directly connecting your set-top box to your TV causes the error to go away, the device it was connected to before is likely incompatible with the latest version of HDCP. Contact the manufacturer of that device to see if there are any updates available to help resolve the issue. If not, it will need to remain disconnected, or you can try connecting it to your system using this method.
  3. Check the side of your HDMI cable to make sure it’s labeled Ultra High Speed. You may experience issues when using older cables – cables labeled Standard should not be used.
  4. Check if your TV’s manufacturer has any firmware or software updates available. This will ensure you have the latest version of HDCP available for that device installed.
  5. If you have a 4K UHD TV, the HDMI port may be set to HDMI 1.4 by default. Check your TV manufacturer’s support site for instructions on how to enable HDMI 2.0a and the latest version of HDCP for your TV. This is the preferred configuration for set-top boxes.
RDK-03117 “Please give us a minute... There seems to be a connection issue here. Sorry about that. We'll try and resolve the issue on our side. In the meantime, please check that your Gateway connection is tightly secured. If the problem persists, try restarting your Gateway.”  

You can follow the on-screen instructions, or try the following troubleshooting methods in sequence:

  1. Check that your internet is currently working. If it’s not, try troubleshooting your Rogers Xfinity or Rogers 5 Home Interenet Gateway.
  2. Check the Rogers Xfinity app to confirm you haven’t accidentally disabled the Rogers Xfinity set-top box by pausing the profile it’s connected to. If this the case, unpause the profile and move your Rogers Xfinity set-top box to your Household profile to avoid this issue in the future.
  3. If your Rogers Xfinity or 5G Home Internet Gateway is in a different room than your Rogers Xfinity set-up box and TV, try moving them closer to each other.
