Activation

Hello,

My house does not use a router, only a modem and a direct connection from it to our computers.

The Xfinity app because of this is stuck on the steps of trying to connect to a router that doesn't exist. I was hoping there would be a way to activate my home's Internet outside the App.

Hello user_rcdq7l, thank you for reaching out and adding to our awesome community here on the Forum. I love that you're taking advantage of the option to use your own modem. Have you already confirmed that your modem is compatible with our network using this 'Link'?

Question. Are you sure that it is just a straight cable modem and not a router or a combo gateway device ? I ask because you said the word "computers". If it were just a straight cable modem, only one computer / device would be able to get access to the internet. What's the make and model number of it ?
