Activation Motorola Model MB8611

Hello,

I bought my own modem Motorola MB8611 and sign in Xfinity app activation.  The activation completed.  Unfortunately by the end after restart Xfinity can not connect to my modem.  I can access to the internet ant speed test 600 mbps.  The modem does show in my account inactive and only show the modem of xfiniy issued detected which I disconnect the cable.  I tried reactivation but does not let me.  Any help please?  Thansk!

Try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their 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 provisioned for service. Have the RF / CM / HFC MAC address and the serial number of it handy when you call.

@EG Thanks for the help...I got it work last night...seem like you are tried activation online..everything go smooth by the end Comcast can not send signal to your modem.  I did live chat with the agent 3:00 am...the agent take care really good, fast and got it work it matter minute and before he left make sure it work.

I learn something after that I tried setup wireless router ( Asus) and having problem with DCHP..but here tip after setup wifi name and password restart your PC..and it work like charm.  Thanks!

Glad you got it squared away ! Just an FYI: A cable modem needs to be power cycled/re-booted each and every time that you change the device that is being directly connected to it in order for that device to be able to get an internet connection.
