New customer modem setup (Arris CM8200) - Issue with activation
Hi - I'm been through multiple chat agents and spoke with a couple of folks over call, but this issue is still not resolved. I purchased a new modem and agents confirmed its been activated but i still don't have internet at home. It's been almost 10 hours I have been trying to get this fixed. When connecting to Wi-Fi I get the Xfinity landing page asking me to activate the modem. A couple of agents on the chat mentioned something about a missing boot file. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Is that a typo? The CM8200 is not included on their recommended/compatible lists at the "All Compatible Devices" link near the bottom of https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices (at the moment it points to https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2024.09.18%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdf, but this changes from time to time).

@user_s07x9g Thank you for reaching out to our forum and @BruceW I appreciate you jumping in to help :). Is your modem the Arris SB8200? I'd like to check your account to make sure your location is active and figure out why your modem doesn't have a boot file.
