Xfinity app does not work
I just purchased a new Netgear CM2000 modem to replace an outdated CM1000. I went to activate the modem on the Xfinity website and found it can now only be done through an Xfinity app. So I downloaded the app on my iPhone XR (running IOS 16) and opened it. A logon screen appeared and I entered my Xfinity logon ID and password. I then tried to run the app and it immediately went back to the login screen. I tried over and over again with same result. I deleted the app and reinstalled it with the same result. I then loaded the app on my IPad and the same thing happened. I am now sitting here with a new modem that I can't install. This is extremely frustrating. In searching the web I noted that I am not the only one with this issue.
Anyone who knows how to fix this I would really appreciate it if you could share your knowledge.

For some reason the app was expecting an ID and password that hasn't been used in years. Bought new modem is hope of fixing a connection problem as I lose connection and have to restart the modem many times a day. The new modem (Netgear CM2000) still can't keep connected. I used the app to set up the new modem and had no problems but a few minutes later it again lost the connection. I then hooked the modem directly to the line that comes into the house and the same connection problem still occurs. When the modem boots up the upstream light flashes indicating a weak upstream signal. I looked at the modem logs and they confirm the issue. Netgear tells me that the signal coming into the house is weak and that is why the issue occurs.

In order to try to remedy frequent modems restarts due to dropped connection I bought a new Netgear CM2000 to replace a 6 year old CM1000. The installation went smoothly using the Xfinity app. The new modem did not fix the issue. In order to make sure that the issue was not internal to the house I hooked the modem directly to the line that comes into the house (bypassing all in house cabling) and the problem still remained.
When restarting the modem I noticed that after the downstream light turned solid white the upstream light came on as a solid white then as the online light turned solid white the upstream light started blinking.
In checking the modem logs I keep seeing “16 consecutive t3 timeouts while trying to range on upstream channel”
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will soon be doing some freelance work from home and I need a reliable connection. The Xfinity cable TV has no problems.
