Unable to activate - as my new router CM MAC & MTA MAC in Xfinity database both are in use per support
Hi,
I got a new router MT8733 and when trying to activate gave errors. Xfiniit support said the CM & MTA MAC are already in use. I am still checking with Motorola but interim on some research seems like this is a Xfminity problem as came across multiple issues with same thing reported by others.
The device is with me, the HW is hardcoded so there's no reason anyone else should be having these MACs registered to them, the device is purchased by me and i have the hardware. What will it take for Xfinity to fix this. Here are some of articles i came across with.

in some cases Xfinity fixed this to point to rightful owners of device. Please help.
regards,
Neeraj

Hello @user_ovhbck thank you for reaching out. Was the device purchased second hand? Or was it purchased brand new in a sealed box?
