Why is your support so bad? And your website---very poorly designed/non-intuitive

I have a primary residence in PA with an Xfinity Wi-Fi gateway.  For my shore home in NJ, I ordered a second Wi-Fi gateway from an Xfinity store in Rio Grande, NJ---the customer service rep I met with added this to my existing Xfinity account.  Upon setting up the second Wi-Fi gateway (with Xfinity support), I found out that this caused my primary Wi-Fi gateway to be disabled.  So, I worked with Xfinity support to re-enable my Wi-Fi gateway at my primary residence.  When I visited my shore home, I found that the Xfinity Wi-Fi gateway there had been disabled.  I, once again, worked with multiple Xfinity support people to rectify the situation and was finally told that you can't have two gateways tied to the same account---even though the Wi-Fi gateways are at different residences (both owned by me).  Why wouldn't the customer service person who took my order in the Xfinity Rio Grande store not have told me this??????????????  

Xfinity support told me that they would fix the issue by creating a separate account---this would allow both Wi-Fi gateways to work without interruption.  This worked until this morning when I got up and realized that the Xfinity Wi-Fi gateway at my primary residence was once again disabled.  Back to Xfinity support to get it up and running, which it is now---but I can guarantee that my shore home Wi-Fi gateway is now disabled.  

It is time to switch to T-Mobile...I hear their support is much, much better...

Thank you do much for reaching out, user_oe9tfu! I’m really sorry about the confusion, but I am glad it is working now. It is true that there can be only 1 modem/ Xfinity services per address. So if there is another address that is sightly different you can get that 2nd line of service. If you do run into any issues in the near future please reach back out to us here, and we'll get this repaired for you permanently.

Thank you, but to be clear---it is only working now at one residence at a time.  If it is active for my primary home, it doesn't work for my shore home--and vice versa.  The addresses for these residences are completely different and in different states in the US.

I do need to get this permanently repaired so please let me know how you can do this.

To clarify, I need both Xfinity gateways to work simultaneously.

I gotcha! In that case, please send us a direct chat message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”. To do so, click on the chat icon located at the top right of this forums page.
