Internet and voice status "unavailable" and app won't let me troubleshoot

I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer for decades. I recently replaced my modem with a Gateway modem/router, and I have had nothing but trouble getting it set up and getting things to work. And I'm tired of going round and round with customer support.

The app won't let me troubleshoot the internet or the phone because it says troubleshooting is available only to customers and that the status for these two services is unavailable

I can't access voice mail because it says my phone number is not a recognized mailbox.

The modem has been reset dozens of times. A technician came out and had to get the voice service manually transferred to the new modem. Apparently more stuff also didn't get moved.

I need someone who knows what they're doing to help me fix this mess once for all.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to actual Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

The Xfinity support folks submitted a repair ticket and whatever they did at least fixed the unavailable status on the app. A technician came out this afternoon and swapped out the modem, and that fixed my dial tone issues, and the app is now showing me my data usage. I *hope* that's the end of the problems with the modem.

I finally got my issue resolved also. My router/modem was listed as “null” in there system in the back end and once they listed it properly everything started working as it should and “unavailable” status went away

Hi, I am having the same problem. It looks like there is a solution that doesn't involve a visit from a technician. This is my first post and I was not able to locate a section where I send send a direct message to the Xfinity team.
