setting up internet in wifi ready apartment

My apartment came with a wifi ready Xfinity device, however, I am unable to connect. I have followed the instructions on the device, the app, and that the computer customer service has given me and still has not worked. My account is set up online and I have paid for service, but currently says that I have no devices detected. Not sure what to do and unable to get ahold of a live agent.

Hello, @user_72c292 Thank you very much for choosing Xfinity as your new service provider. We really appreciate your business with us.

 

With our WiFi Ready apartments after activating it can take up to five to ten minutes for service to become fully functional. Can you tell me what devices you have attempted to connect to your network? Are you seeing your WiFi Network name populate on the available networks?

@XfinityAlisha I am trying to connect my phone and laptop, neither are working. I am seeing my WiFi Network name populate on available networks, but when I connect and put in password information it says unable to connect and will not allow me to continue with activation. I've tried connecting with both devices and going to xfinity.com/activate and neither worked.
