Setting up new XFinity WiFi router

looking for help in setting up the new router that xfinity sent to my home. The funny thing is the device is showing white lite and using my xfinity app it is saying connection issue, set up a technician. Without internet the app wont work and I could not schedule an appointment. Then I called through phone number then it is not connecting me to an agent, instead it is connecting me to a virtual agent. The virtual agent sending me a url to connect. I was laughing. Who in your company designed this feature, for sure you should not have these types of visionaries in your company. Finally I have reconnected my old router, then looked at the app to schedule an appointment with technician, but since there is no issue in my connection, i cannot see that option. Can anyone help me to connect the new device and get internet or schedule an appointment.

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

@XfinityMartyR​ You are not understanding the real problem. If I am replacing my gateway how do I get connected to internet, especially in my place where the Phone Network and its connectivity is low. That means if I switched off the old gateway, I am disconnected from internet and xfinity app will not work.
