New Xfinity wall modem installed

Hello! I live in an apartment building, and they just switched from us using an Xfinity gateway to a permanent wall modem. The technicians came in and did the switch, but now my app says that my internet is offline. I do have internet, I just think that the new equipment did not sync to my account. I tried to activate the new equipment in my account to see if that would work, but the only options for activation is the gateway or my own device. Is there a way to fix this? 

Thank you!

I have an update: I figured out what happened! The technician made me a new account. I was able to link both of the accounts. However, the new account has a slower speed than the original account. How can I switch the speeds? Thank you!

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