Activate new Gateway modem
I was sent a new Gateway modem. I had gotten several emails telling me I needed it to get increased speeds. Emails said step by step instructions would be included. I did not receive any instructions. Instead an email followed saying I needed to download Xfinity app. My phone is not comptable, so that is not an option. Is there any other way to activate the modem? If not, I will return it and keep what I have. Would not have gotten it if I emails had not implied it was easy setup. Thanks for any help!

Try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their self-install device activation line.
If that doesn't work for you, you can call 1-800-comcast and tell a rep that you would like to have a new modem activated / provisioned for service. Have the RF / CM / HFC MAC address and the serial number of it handy when you call.

Post says one reply, but I don't see it. Instead it says no responses. Maybe I need the app for that too.
