So I got the problem resolved by speaking to a customer service rep. over the phone who was able to activate it for me. You should be able to speak to one by scheduling a callback: https://www.xfinity.com/support/schedule-callback

Hello, @user_05e626 and thread! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to let us know that the app is not letting the network name and password get processed. We are happy to get to the bottom of this and are the right place for assistance. Are you seeing the 3 dots come up and that doesn't stop or does an error message come up?

Hi, same issue. The top 3 lights stay on, solid, when I get the error message. I get to the Name your Wifi network page and get "There was a problem. Please try again." when I try to assign a name and password. 

I have tried a power cycle, going through the activation process in the app again, it did not solve the issue. 

Edit: pressing the reset button on the back and re-doing activation does not solve the problem. 3 lights still solid.
